PERFORMER PROFILES

Tatiana Villaflor

Tatiana
Villaflor

My name is Tatiana and I am blessed for being gifted with perfect pitch. I started playing the piano at the age of 5. I was an active Glee Club member during my school days in PWU and owe it all to them! I became the Glee Club president when I was a Senior, and school accompanist from Sophomore to Senior year. I became a full time keyboardist for show bands from 1989 to 1995. I had to quit my showband career due to limitations of high treble decibels hurting my left ear. I went to the States in 1995 and learned web design. However, my love for music did not stop as occasionally I performed with bands for artists here in California, as well as performers from Manila for special shows and gigs.

She was our Class Organization President (1st Year to 3rd Year), the President of our Student Council (4th Year) and our Class of 1984 Valedictorian. She was also a vocalist for the Heart and Soul Band in 1988, and Conjunction Band in 1988-1991.

I was always amazed with Anna because she sings with soul! Anna was the first person in my life (Tatiana) that I heard sing beautifully when I was a Girl Scout in JASMS. We performed some intermission numbers in HS, and this project is my dream come true! She joined the JRC Competition when she was in 3rd Year High School singing “Magbalik Ka Na Mahal”. She was also a part of the Metro Pop Screening committee when she was in 4th Year High School. She joined the Stage Lights showband in 1982 up to 1984. Anna currently has her own Bubble Burst Laundry Shop business in Paranaque.
Diane Sison

Diane
Sison

Diane is part of the reason why I ended up playing keyboards in a band. I used to watch their band regularly. Diane started singing when she was 8 years old, singing Evergreen at the top of their stairs in their house in San Antonio Biñan, Laguna. She knew she could carry a tune, but not as good as her Kuya (Marco Sison). But one day, her Nanay told her that he was impressed with her Evergreen rendition. Diane was one of the vocalists of the SMASH Band. They traveled to Malaysia, Bahrain, and Japan, and performed in the major five-star hotels in Manila. After the trip from Japan, she went solo as a lounge singer. She has retired from singing and currently works for BPO.

He garnered the title as the only Emperor of the Soul of the country and the only Filipino male performer who can whistle like Mariah Carey. He was named Divo, from the notion of a male diva, by the famous Ella Mae Siason. I was very fortunate to play keyboards for him in many of his shows in the Bay Area and here in Los Angeles.
