LOS ANGELES, CA, September 19, 2022 - Just three weeks ago, headlines about Original Pilipino Music (OPM) included three music acts whose songs reached streaming milestones on Spotify and YouTube.
One of them is 2022's breakout Filipina singing star Gigi De Lana. Her version of "Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita" (Why Do I Love You), one of the songs in her eponymous debut album, has already reached over 1.2 million streams on Spotify and on its way to 11 million views on the ABS-CBN Star Music Channel on YouTube as of this writing.

Fans in the U.S. got a sample of De Lana's fiery and passionate live onstage presence when she performed with 19 other talents in Star Magic's 30th Anniversary: Beyond the Stars U.S. Tour last August. But come this October, OPM fans can now savor the flavors of a full Gigi De Lana live concert with her band, The Gigi Vibes, and special guest Carlo Aquino, via "Gigi De Lana and The Gigi Vibes Domination: The U.S. Tour 2022".

Starting as a perennial (and determined) singing contest participant -- a "kontesera" in the Filipino vernacular -- De Lana drew global attention during the pandemic when she just posted numerous covers of classic and modern pop songs on YouTube with her band and became an internet singing sensation.
In a span of one year since being managed by Rise Studio and Star Magic, De Lana has released a chart-topping single (Sakalam), co-starred in a lead role opposite Gerald Anderson in her first series, "Hello, Heart", released her self-tltled album, performed at the 1MX Music Festival in Dubai, launched a successful Domination Tour that started in Manila, then to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Bahrain, joined the Star Magic tour in the U.S., and now, through iWantTFC, TFC, ABS-CBN Events and MYX will bring her Domination Tour to the U.S.
"Gigi De Lana and The Gigi Vibes Domination: The U.S. Tour 2022" will start on October 15 at the Alex Theatre in Glendale CA, on October 21 at the Silverton Casino in Las Vegas, NV, and on October 16 at the South San Francisco HS Theatre in South San Francisco, CA.
