Dianne Elise is undeniably a gifted individual with her physical aesthetic and talent all rolled into one. This young woman’s vocal prowess is undeniable, and her striking beauty is truly captivating. Born in the Philippines and raised in the States, Dianne Elise made her mark in the Washington, DC music scene at a very young age. Her musical inclination ignited when she attended a Performing Arts Magnet School where she majored in Chorus. Gaining exposure in the arts early on, Dianne had the privilege of becoming a part of highly selective choral groups which proved her musical artistry.
Not being a stranger to the stage, Dianne’s recognition sparked as she performed in prestigious places such as The White House, Kennedy Center, and Constitution Hall. This served as an avenue for her fame which captured the hearts of local concert producers in the States. She performed with big names and Filipino legends based in the US, as well as various international recording groups.
Since returning home to the Philippines, her name has been plastered all over the media, as well as the digital world. She has made TV appearances on major television networks like GMA, ABC, ABS-CBN, MTV, ETC, and MYX, performing with other acoustic bands which opened more concerts for her.
Dianne Elise declares resilience as she releases her sophomore album under MCA Music entitled “Committed.” After the success of her debut album, she was signed up by MCA Music and immediately went back to the studio to record another fine selection of melodies. She delivers an alluring rendition of covers in this album, with a touch of flair that is distinctly “Dianne Elise’s.” The type of music in this album can be best described as a mixture of classic R&B and pop jazz.
Committed gives people the chance to reminisce with tracks like Westlife’s “If I Let You Go” and ‘N Sync’s “This I Promise You.” Revamped arrangements make the songs more unique without losing the essence that made them appealing in the first place. For those whose boy band obsession never took place, Dianne renders retro tunes for the young and old alike.
The carrier single of the album, “If You’re Not the One,” was handpicked by the solo artist herself during the selection process but it almost did not make the cut. While others argued the song was too contemporary to revive, Dianne insisted on coming out with her own version. The result was a refreshing take on Daniel Bedingfield’s hit with a more delicate touch. If You’re Not The One is currently gaining heavy rotation on POP Adult Contemporary stations in Metro Manila and in the provinces.
When asked why she picked the title Committed, Dianne relates, “The album talks about the continuous struggle of any relationship. There are ups and downs but the point is to stay committed all throughout.” Her description can be made akin to the journeys people take in life, like that of her career. Since her debut, she has taken on the roles of a radio jock, commercial model, and host. But whether there are ups and downs, it seems Dianne Elise is always ready to show her commitment.
