Chicago native Alexander Glantz is the creative force behind Alexander 23. In March 2019, he made his debut with “Dirty AF1s,” which climbed to the top of the DSP charts. Later in the fall, he shared his debut, critically acclaimed EP I’m Sorry I Love You, and spent the rest of 2019 on tour with Alec Benjamin and Omar Apollo. He kicked off 2020 by selling out his debut headline shows and then releasing his RIAA Platinum Certified Track “IDK You Yet” which was featured on Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits and has been streamed over 500 million times on Spotify alone.
In 2021, Alexander 23 sold out his debut headline tour and followed that up with a Grammy Nomination for his co-production on “good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo. His Dan Nigro co-produced debut album “Aftershock” arrived in the summer of 2022 following his support of John Mayer on the Sob Rock tour. He followed that up with his first world tour in the fall of 2022. In 2023, Alexander supported Lauv on his sold-out Between Albums Tour across Asia.
Acclaimed Broadway singer and actress Lea Salonga will be the featured guest artist on the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s tour to the Philippines. This is the second stop on the Choir’s world tour of “Hope” and the first visit by the Choir to the Philippines.
Lea Salonga is a multiple award-winning actor and singer renowned across the world for her powerful voice and perfect pitch. She is best known for her Tony Award–winning role in Miss Saigon. In addition to the Tony, she has won the Olivier, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and Theatre World Awards in the field of musical theatre.
Given the positive experience she had when she joined The Tabernacle Choir for the first time, Lea Salonga stated in a media conference that was held at the Conrad Hotel in Pasay City that it was an easy decision for her to say yes to joining the choir for a second time.
“It was memorable not only from a musical standpoint, but I just remembered feeling, ‘this is something I’ll never, ever forget,” Lea said.
On February 27 and 28, at 8 p.m., the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila will host the free event.
In addition to Lea, another Filipina singer-songwriter named Ysabelle Cuevas will be performing alongside the choir.
Many fans of all ages recognize Lea as the singing voice of Princess Jasmine from Aladdin and Fa Mulan for Mulan and Mulan II. Lea served as a judge on the Philippines hit version of “The Voice,” including the ratings juggernaut “The Voice Kids.” An avid techie and gamer, Lea divides her time between Manila, Philippines, with her family and the United States.
Under the direction of Mack Wilberg, music director of the Choir, and Ryan Murphy, associate music director, the “Hope” concerts will be held February 20–29 and feature Salonga and the Choir performing a repertoire that reflects, in part, the musicality of the country. Filipinos are a nation of singing people whose choral tradition started centuries ago with indigenous origins and has continued until today. Internationally, the Philippines has one of the highest viewerships of Music & the Spoken Word.
Wilberg said he looking forward to working with her again. “It was a delight to have Lea Salonga share her extraordinary talents at our Christmas concert last year in Salt Lake City. It is an honor for the Choir to go to Lea’s home country to perform with her again and experience the kindness of the Filippino people,” he said.
In addition to Lea as a guest artist, Ysabelle Cuevas, a celebrated singer-songwriter from the Philippines will also be joining the Choir in their performances. In 2018, Ysabelle’s original song “Daunted,” released through Warner Music Philippines, marked a significant milestone in her career, resonating with fans across East Asia and North America. Her passion for cultural connections extends beyond her original work. Ysabelle has gained worldwide acclaim for her covers, winning music contests and earning features in major publications. Her adept translations of Korean songs into Filipino and English demonstrate her unique ability to merge diverse musical traditions and appeal to a global audience.
Finally, the Choir will also be joined by husband and wife duo, Paolo Abrera and Suzie Entrata-Abrera who will act as narrators during the performances. Suzie and Paolo are both tv personalities and news anchors who are well known in the Philippines.
Over the next four years, the Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra will travel twice a year to different parts of the world. Choir president Michael O. Leavitt said, “Our goal is to magnify the Choir’s impact throughout the world by helping people feel God’s love for His children. Our performances will be free. Many will be live streamed so local congregations in the regions we visit can invite their friends and communities to participate.”

Filipino indie-rock outfit CHEATS will be celebrating their 10th anniversary in the local music scene with a headline show happening on March 16, 2024, at Balcony Music House in Makati City.
The “Accidents” band will be performing a long set featuring fan favorites and rarities. Joining CHEATS are some of their long-time music peers, including SOS, Oh, Flamingo! and Sandwich.
“We wanted to do a show that has a ‘party like it’s the mid-2010s’ vibe, which is the reason why we chose Sandwich, SOS, and Oh, Flamingo! to share the stage with us,” the eclectic 7-piece act explains in a press statement. “They were among the bands we loved (and still do) and played a lot with back when the band was just starting. We’ll all play lengthy sets, and while we haven’t come up with a set list yet, we’ll likely play as many of our favorite songs as possible from the last 10 years.”
The intimate gathering also doubles as a launch for the band’s special limited-edition merchandise, particularly the classic CHEATS logo shirt with new colorways, re-released for those who haven’t had the chance to get one or want to collect them all.
CHEATS also expressed gratitude to the fans who have continuously supported their work all these years. “Thanks to everyone who has supported the band, whether you’ve been there since the early days or just discovered us fairly recently. This will be our first show since last September, so we’re itching to play again for all of you.”
CHEATS was first formed by Jim Bacarro in 2013 and features Bacarro on vocals, keys, and guitar; Saab Magalona and Candy Gamos on vocals; Manny Tanglao on bass; Jason Caballa and Kyle Quismundo on guitars; and Enzo Hermosa on drums. The 7-piece band has produced three critically acclaimed studio albums to date: 2016’s Cheats, 2017’s Before The Babies, and 2022’s Houseplants. They have also headlined several music festivals here and abroad, such as Wanderland Music and Arts Festival, Clockenflap Music and Arts Festival, Laneway Music Festival, and AXEAN Festival, to name a few.
Tickets to 10 YEARS OF CHEATS are now available via bit.ly/cheats10. Early bird passes have already sold out, but regular passes are still available for PHP 800.

A top-tier collection of the band’s most iconic alt-rock anthems, the compilation album is the go-to playlist to hype OPM fans for their reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds!
With timeless pop-rock anthems that cut across generational lines, Rivermaya has easily cemented their place as one of the most important Filipino bands of all time. Their songs have served their purpose as great anchors for intimate conversations and as a source of comfort for every Filipino yearning for music they can call home.
More than their wistful and sometimes introspective reflections on love, pain, freedom, and youth, Rivermaya penned music with a mix of unwavering earnestness and vulnerability, capturing the essence of everyday life in nuanced but relatable terms.
The band’s iconic lineup from 1994 to 1998, which includes Bamboo Mañalac, Mark Escueta, Nathan Azarcon, and Rico Blanco has produced some of the most enduring classics in Pinoy rock. From the chest-thumping sing-alongs of “Hinahanap-Hanap Kita,” “Elesi,” and “Ulan” to the stadium-sized glory of “Awit Ng Kabataan” and “Kisapmata,” from the melancholic balladry of “If,” “Panahon Na Naman,” and “214” to the cult appeal of “Bring Me Down” and “Luha,” the popular four-piece act achieved commercial success while delivering groundbreaking cultural impact and artistic vision in equal measure—something that has proven to be elusive, even among their contemporaries in the field.
Their legacy, which shaped the ever-fickle pop culture of the ‘90s with their distinct brand of eloquence and charm, is fully captured in their essential Rivermaya – Greatest Hits: Himig Ng Dekada 90 album, which chronicles the biggest hits of their formative years as well as the underrated tunes that still hold merit up to this day. Featuring twelve of their most iconic songs and two remixes, the compilation album gives listeners a complete picture of the band’s music: fearless in its humanity and imperfection, but smugly cool in portraying tenderness, chaos, and adventurousness in situations that don’t always feel like they’re made for the movies. It’s as real as it gets.
“There are powerful messages in the songs, for those who need to hear them,” drummer Mark Escueta reflects on the compilation album’s intrinsic appeal. “Overall, it’s fun to listen to the songs, even the sad ones. We’re honored that we get to share our music and inspire people on a personal, intimate level. We no longer own these songs; they belong to anyone who dares to wholeheartedly embrace them and still emerge whole from the process. It’s everyone’s songs now.”
With Mañalac, Escueta, Azarcon, and Blanco headlining a reunion concert on February 17, 2024, at the SMDC Festival Grounds, Rivermaya’s Greatest Hits record serves not only as a convincing argument for the band’s inimitable genius but also as a guide to the immortal music that’s so deeply ingrained in Pinoy collective consciousness. For long-time fans who would want to deep-dive into the band’s discography and review their career-defining ‘karaoke’ jams, this compilation album is the way to go for the essential no-skips fodder.
The original lineup, composed of Bamboo Mañalac, Rico Blanco, Nathan Azarcon, and Mark Escueta, stages a one-night-only reunion concert produced by Live Nation Philippines. Dubbed ‘Rivermaya The Reunion,’ the iconic pop-rock outfit will be celebrating the unparalleled Rivermaya legacy with a highly anticipated set featuring some of their greatest hits and rarities. Tickets are available on the Live Nation Philippines website and SM Tickets outlets.
Thai alt-rock duo SCRUBB will be staging their debut concert in the Philippines this weekend!

“We’ve been wanting to perform in Manila for the longest time,” they said in the press statement. “The opportunity has finally presented itself, so we’re definitely looking forward to meeting our Filipino fans and serenading them with our music as well as personal favorites.”
SCRUBB: Live in Manila will also be joined by two opening acts: prolific actor-rapper Elijah Canlas and chart-topping singer-songwriter TONEEJAY, who will be gracing the show with their own unique sets.

Due to insistent public demand, the University of the Philippines Concert Chorus (UPCC), or simply Korus, returns to the UP Theater on February 17, 2024 (Saturday) for “Sama-Sama Together Again” — a repeat of their sold-out 60th anniversary show. This year’s show is made more special as past and present UPCC members are singing together to raise funds for various worthy causes. UP Concert Chorus Alumni Association (UPCCAA) President Atty. Dot Gancayco says, “The proceeds will fund the various socio-civic activities of the UPCCAA, the establishment of a formal UPCCAA choir, and help defray the costs of the current UPCC members as they represent the Philippines in their 25th International Goodwill and Cultural Concert Tour in 2024.”
Followers of the beloved university choir will recall that 2023’s “Sama-Sama Together” marked 60 years of the UPCC with tunes of various musical genres such as liturgical, classical, opera, Filipino folk, Broadway and pop, and songs performed in UPCC’s trademark choreographed a capella. Rave reviews poured in with no less than National Artist for Music Ryan Cayabyab a.k.a. Mr. C describing the concert as “unparalleled.” Mr. C. explains, “Alumni homecomings are a dime a dozen and can wield thousands of participants, but the UPCC is unique. They all sing, move in unison, dance in choreographed splendor and have fun. Pati the audience had fun. And the tradition continues.”
The upcoming concert brings back all six decades of UPCC batches—whose ages range from their teens to their 80s—including singer-comedienne Nanette Inventor, past conductors Dr. Joel Navarro and Dr. Ed Manguiat, and current UPCC conductor Prof. Jai Aracama, among many other illustrious UPCC alumni.
UPCC alumnus Rico M. Mortel, who is directing “Sama-Sama Together Again”, says “This year, we are standing for the continuation of the legacy of excellence and creativity in the next generation of UPCC performers. The alumni will surely return to the stage with the same gusto and enthusiasm, but the current batch will shine even brighter this time around.”
“Sama-Sama Together Again” Concert Chairperson Atty. Shaina Ramirez encourages UPCC friends to buy their tickets early. She says, “The repeat is also for those who were not able to watch last year because the concert sold out three weeks before the show date.”
Direk Rico adds, “This show is really for those folks who missed it (both the audience and the performers) the last time and could not wait for another five years or so to see the UPCC alumni take the stage again. I think it will be even better the second time around.”
For inquiries about “Sama-Sama Together Again,” contact Lowell Reyes at 09228050471 or email upccalumniassociation@gmail.com. For updates about UPCC, like and follow the UP Concert Chorus Facebook page.

Don’t miss Airplay In Manila with two amazing ticket experiences:
All good things don’t come easy. Or in the case of EBE DANCEL’s highly anticipated 20th anniversary celebration of Sugarfree’s sophomore release Dramachine, great things need a tad more time to finally be right.
Multi-awarded and critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, Ebe Dancel, took to social media yesterday and announced that due to personal health reasons, the show – originally slated for a January 26 date – would be rescheduled a little over a week later. Though it was an unexpected announcement, excited fans were supportive and quick to wish Dancel a speedy recovery.
It was two decades ago, that a collection of songs was released by a band that was steadily rising to the top, yet still unaware of the impact that the album would have on both music fans and the overall landscape of local music. Songs that simply were painfully honest, melodically soaring, and lyrically on-point in capturing the sentiments and emotions of a generation that was going through the very same aches of growing up its chief songwriter was going through.
The band was Sugarfree. At the helm was its chief songwriter Ebe Dancel, and that album was Dramachine.
Now an accomplished solo artist with a ton more OPM classics under his belt, Dancel will be taking a trip down memory lane and will be treating fans to a night of nostalgia and bittersweet anthems that will surely have audiences singing along (and maybe even shedding a few tears…).
Featuring an impressive lineup of songs in Dancel’s extensive repertoire of hits and favorites, the celebrated album will be performed in its entirety, including standout hit singles like “Prom,” “Hari Ng Sablay,” fan faves like “Kwentuhan” and tearjerking anthems like “Kandila,” “Tulog Na” and “Kwarto” among others. Dancel will be joined by an impressive cast of musicians, including former Sugarfree drummer Mitch Singson. Jam Quijano will be opening the evening as well.
Asked if he had any inkling during the album’s creation that those songs would forever resonate with listeners decades later, Dancel humbly states: “I don’t think I have an answer for that – they were just songs written by an average guy about everyday life… I never thought of the songs to be arena songs or anthems – I just made sure it was something I could sing along to.”
When further asked how the creative process for Dramachine was, Dancel shares: “I remember we were touring almost every day for weeks – we’d be in the studio writing and recording, then rush to a gig in the evening and would come back to the studio after to see what we could finish. It was fun, and because we were young, we could bounce back from anything… and it was produced by Raymund Marasigan and Buddy Zabala, who gave us the freedom to do what we wanted.”
Truly, this is a show that no serious die-hard would want to miss. Presented by BALCONY ENTERTAINMENT, tickets for the show are now available online via event partner BACKSPACER RECORDS (https://bit.ly/dramachine20), but they’re going fast – regular tickets are at PHP 1,200.00 and special tickets which include the vinyl and official merchandise are still available at PHP 3,300+.
“It’s a celebration of the album that introduced us to the whole country,” Dancel says when asked what fans can expect from the show. “Come for the songs and the memories – eat, drink, and sing-along; throughout the years, the fans are still what keeps me in the industry… this show will also kick off my 25th year in the business: I am eternally grateful that there are a lot of reasons for all of us to celebrate.”
