Lani Misalucha



The Profile of a Nightingale

She never planned to be a professional singer. She simply loves to sing, and boy, can she sing! With the voice of an angel cascading up and down the scales like a roller coaster, a full three octaves of heavenly music, full throated, full chested and fully seasoned, she can sing a song as few others can. Born into a musical family, with parents who are operatic singers, Lani grew up immersed in song, with siblings similarly endowed with wonderful voices. Growing up and listening to the radio, she expanded her musical horizons to various genres and styles, and developed a dynamic versatility.
Lani can easily shift from ballad to pop rock and even jazz. She may even surprise you with a sudden burst of operatic aria in a seasoned soprano voice. Recording multiplex tapes of the songs of great singers, she can, with alacrity, imitate the voice and style of, among others, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, and even Barbra Streisand.Lani has been in and out of the music scene since the late 1980s-as a vocalist in various bands, as a soloist in the lounge and hotel circuits, as singer for commercial jingles and multiplex tapes. It is amazing to note that although she stopped singing professionally for periods of time, opportunities never cease to come knocking at her door. It seems that music is her destiny.
In 1996, she recorded an album with the carrier single, "Somebody Warm Like Me," which became an instant hit. Moving to Viva Records in 1999, she did the album "Tunay Na Mahal" with the carrier single of the same title and the hit song "You Don't Have To Say You Love Me". Playing the lead role in S.K. Productions mega-musical play "Rama at Sita", she received accolades for her singing and acting prowess.She kick-started the year 2000 with a new album, entitled "All Heart"-- a collection of love songs led by it's carrier single "One More Time", by Dodjie Simon. The album also includes songs written by some of today's most acclaimed contemporary composers, like Vehnee Saturno, Jimmy Borja and Trina Belamide.
The year 2001 became a very blessed year for Lani. She became a semi-regular host in the Sunday noontime show SOP, along with other top artists, Ogie Alcasid, Regine Velasquez, Janno Gibbs and Jaya. In September 2001, she had her first major concert at the Araneta Coliseum called, "Lani Misalucha, The Crossover Live Tour". It was a highly successful concert, the venue of which Lani filled to the rafters, earned her more praises from fans and critics alike.In 2002, Lani continued to wow audiences with her breathtaking performances in her US Concert Tour and series of concerts at the Onstage in Greenbelt. Lani released her fourth studio album entitled, "Loving You" in June 2003 with the singles, "Tila" and "Malaya Ka Na". In November of that same year, she began hosting her own television show with actor and comedian Michael V., also known as his character Junie Lee, called "Celebrity Turns".
Lani is also the preferred choice of foreign artists who have come to Manila to perform. She was the special guest of music industry icons Kenny Loggins, Brian McKnight, Sergio Mendes & Stephen Bishop.
She continues to perform to SRO crowds wherever she goes, may it be hotels, schools and bigger venues, like the Main Theater Cultural Center of the Philippines and the PICC Plenary Hall. She has had successful concerts in Cebu, Bacolod, Baguio, Pampanga, Davao and everywhere else in the Philippines.
Lani sought and conquered the hearts of those in the United States, too, performing in Reno, San Diego, Washington, Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. of San Francisco even made August 17 "Lani Misalucha Day" to give due recognition to her talent as an artist.In 2004, Lani became the First Asian to headline in a Main Showroom of the Las Vegas Strip, performing with Hawaii's Premiere showband, Society of Seven at the world-famous Jubilee Theatre of the Bally's Hotel. The show received raving reviews and the highest acclaims from Vegas Critics, putting Lani's name high up on the list of Vegas' must-see performers.

As Las Vegas' New Diva and Siren of the Strip, Lani proved her status as an international artist of top calibre. A successful 15-month run at the Bally's and a series of road tours to varied states permanently etched Lani's name in the hearts of those whom she captured with her musical eloquence. She enchants once again in the Main Showroom of the Flamingo from August of 2006.

It is the beauty and power of Lani's music that flew and blew her across the globe, performing in Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and the Middle East and singing for the King of Malaysia, the Sultan of Brunei, President S.R. Nathan of Singapore and Presidents Joseph Estrada and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo of the Philippines. But it will always be the beauty of Lani's persona that will transcend through every song, heartfelt and genuine in its delivery of all the best that it has to offer, all the best that is yet to come.
Lani will be performing live together with Cueshe and Top Suzara on Sept. 2 (Sunday) during the Labor Day Weekend Extravaganza Concert at the Grande Exposition Hall of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino.

JUST LIKE THEIR FIRST SINGLE - CUESHE Just like their first single, "Stay," Cueshé defied the odds and struggles to be one of the biggest and most successful bands in the country today. In a span of one year, vocalist Jay Justiniani, guitarist and vocalist Ruben Caballero, bassist Fritz Labrado, lead guitarist Jovan Mabini, keyboardist Jhunjie Dosdos and drummer/band leader Mike Manaloto were thrown into a whirlwind of opportunities not any other new band had experienced. But their phenomenal success was not without its share of intrigues and controversies. Since their first single hit the airwaves, critics and detractors tagged them as another one hit wonder. Rock fundamentalists considered them a pariah, called them a "phony," and a "sell-out." Insults, below-the-belt comments, false allegations, flaks, they got it. Cueshé was clearly one of the most misunderstood bands. But as the old cliché goes "you can't put a good man down." Despite the continuous dissing, hitting and criticism, the band remained steadfast, unaffected and concentrated on their music. As they say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Indeed, they are proving their critics wrong. Proof: after "Stay" came "Sorry." Then "Ulan" followed by "Can't Let You Go" and "24 Hours." All these singles from their debut album "Half Empty, Half Full" became chart-toppers. Celebrities, non-celebrities, children and adults alike hum their songs. The album likewise sold thousands, achieving the double platinum mark. Not bad from an upstart act. Accolades poured in, headlined by their big win at the 1st MYX Music Awards, bagging three major victories (Favorite Artist, Favorite Group and Favorite Song-for the song "Stay.") out of four nominations. Viewers of musical variety show SOP voted the band as Best Breakthrough Artist in 2005 and this year as Band of the Year. Cueshé recently bagged the Smart Texters' Choice for Hitmaker of the Year Award at the 2006 MTV Pilipinas Awards. They also became known for their flawless performance onstage the reason why their gigs remained packed and well-attended. And the latest-a Philippines tour beginning September culminating with a major concert at the Araneta Coliseum next year. "Where we are right now, we owe it to the fans," Mike said. Fame might have brought about many changes but still, humility remains intact among the members, just the same during their struggle. Like the challenging years when Jay figured in an accident; to make ends meet, Mike sold cigarettes, Fritz drove a passenger jeepney with Jovan as his assistant. Or the moment they left Cebu and set foot in Manila, living in together in a small apartment surviving on canned goods and noodles. Next on their list, a follow-up to their top-selling album. Reflecting on the fast-paced events they experienced: "Everything happened so fast since we came to Manila. From recording our debut album to guestings, shows and gigs. Though we never really had time for ourselves, we got to know ourselves better," Ruben said. It is that self realization that the band decided to take it slow recording the second album. They carefully chose their gigs to fully concentrate on recording. Though difficult at the start, eventually ideas flowed and the music popped up naturally. With a plethora of experiences, it is not surprising the band was able to unload enough material for their second baby. It was indeed a celebration of their self-expression that they were inspired to call their latest musical gem "Back To Me." Collectively, it's about going back to where they have left off-then reaching out, mending, seeking relationships, committing, changing perspectives and letting go. Making decisions creative or otherwise by listening to their hearts. Evident is the cutting down of clutter, tamer guitar tracks, flowing melodies and seamless chord progressions. Likewise, it showcases their musical maturity. "This album is lighter and more laid-back compared to 'Half Empty, Half Full,'" Fritz said. In spite of these changes, tracks are distinguishingly Cueshé, in intensity and feel. It is more spontaneous with less cliché. If in the previous album, Mike did most of the writing chores, this time, members made contributions, each expressing emotions and each with stories to tell. The title track "Back To Me," penned by Fritz, is about longing for someone who you wanted to come back because you feel he/she is the one who completes your life. It can also be about a failed relationship you never really want to give up. But what inspired Fritz to write the song is his wife. "I have been away from her for long due to the band's busy schedules and my wife has been missing me. I got some of the lyrics from her text messages. But we're okay now," Fritz said. Another one of his masterpiece is "Borrowed Time," a song about forbidden love. However, let it be known it is not about him. Relationships still comprise Mike's contributions--"I Won't Let You Down," "Today," "Missing You" and "I Do." Ruben proves he can not only belt out tunes but write as well with his two compositions-"All I Want" and "Broken Into Pieces." Both are inspired by the love of his life. "'All I Want' was about her sentiments. Sometimes she feels insecure and thinks I don't love her anymore. 'Broken Into Pieces' answers the lyrics of 'All I Want,'" Ruben said. Likewise, Jay expresses his feelings with "If You Need Me," a song about acceptance of a person on who he/she is. Though having difficulty speaking in Tagalog, Jovan was able to write two Tagalog songs "Bakit?" and "Pasensya Na." "I must admit I'm having a hard time conversing in Tagalog but I express myself better in that dialect through writing," Jovan said. He is also credited for the music in majority of the tracks in the album. Also featured in the album is their version of the John Lennon song "Jealous Guy." Done in acoustic, the song perfectly captures how passionate Cueshé is. "We have always been fans of John Lennon and the song describes us because like others we are jealous guys," Ruben said. Cueshé could not care any less of the pressure of living up to their previous albums success, the worry of a sophomore slump or the flak they will get from critics for they made music that reflects who the band is, not what is dictated to them or sticking to the tried-and-tested formula others fall into. "We are having fun despite the detractors. We know we can't please everybody. We'll definitely continue to work hard for the fans," Ruben said. Cueshe can be seen live for the first time in the mainland US on September 2, 2007 at the Grande Exposition Hall of Silver Legacy Resort Casino in Reno, Nevada. Special guests include Lani Misalucha and Top Suzara.
