Pinay singer na nanalo sa Asia’s Best Season 2 at Euro Talent Festival-Star Rain Cup, may debut concert!
Ganda pala ng boses ng 18-year-old singer na si Elisha Pontanares.
Narinig namin siyang umawit sa ginanap nominees announcement ng Entertainment Editors’ Choice Award or mas kilalang The EDDYS last Friday na ginanap sa Valencia.
Kaya naman chinika namin siya.
“I’m obsessed with Broadway musicals like Hamilton, Les Miserables, Cats, and Miss Saigon.
“I also loved ballads by artists such as The Carpenters, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, David Pomeranz, Celine Dion, Tamia, and The Beatles. Additionally.
“I grew up listening to OPM icons rin because of my parents like Rey Valera, Marco Sison, Dulce, Juris, Nina, Kyla, Donna Cruz, Sharon Cuneta, and Sampaguita,” aniya nang tanungin namin kung sinong mga impluwensya niya.
Nauna nang nanalo sa Asia’s Best Season 2 and the Euro Talent Festival-Star Rain Cup si Elisha, kaya naman pala malinis ang hagod ng boses niya.
Pero anong naging impact ng pagkapanalo niya sa career and personal life niya?
“When those many opportunities came in, I realized that so many people really believed in me and liked my music when I first released my original song Proud To Say,” aniya.
At doon daw niya naisip na magseryoso na sa career. “So, I thought, why not continue this as a hobby? For the purpose of sharing music with my supporters and other people who might like it too,” sabi niya na aminadong mahiyain nung siya ay bata.
Ang Echo Jam Productions ang tumutulong sa kanya para mas i-push pa ang career.
At sa isang baguhan, suwerte siya dahil marami na agad siyang nakasamang mga bigatin.
“When I was the guest performer for OPM icons and divas like Mr. Rey Valera, Dulce, Marco Sison, Apo Hiking, Gerald Santos, and the one and only David Pomeranz, etc.”
Anyway, kinanta nga niya last Friday ang bagong original song niya na Lambing na siya mismo ang nagsulat.
Can you tell us more about the theme and message of the song?
“Well, the theme is just a typical love song. You’re like longing or missing someone you love. When you listen to this, it reminds you of moments shared with that special person in your life. Simple lang po siya.”
Excited na rin siya sa release nito dahil feeling niya, legit na talaga ang lahat.
“Kasi legit na I’m just doing what I love and I share it for the sake of memories, para sa mga may interested or magustuhan lang ‘yung kanta, and para may bagong pampatulog na rin si Mama…ay?” na ang tinutukoy ay ang kanyang mommy na tutok sa career niya.
Isasabay sa launching ng Lambing ang Totally 8teen Birthday Concert ni Elisha,
“We’ve got a lot of surprises in store! There will be special guests and other exciting twists, so abangan! It’s not your typical debut because there won’t be cotillion, 18 roses, 18 candles, 18 treasures, etc. But there will be good music and a super club vibe,” aniya sa kanyang ‘debut’ concert.
