Ilonggo Artist spiced up Panay News, My Phone Dinagyang Party

Armed with his sheer talent for music, 18-year-old Ilonggo acoustic artist Daniel Zedane spiced up the Dinagyang Festival event “My Phone My Party” in the evening of January 25 and 27, 2013. The musical event featuring Manila artists, bands and of course, Ilonggo talents, My Phone together with Panay News organized a spectacular Dinagyang Festival party that would treat the Ilonggo’s craving for amazing nights of fun, flair and music.

Daniel Zedane is one of the freshest Ilonggo musical talents that burst out in the local entertainment scene with his first Tagalog single “Seryoso” which he personally composed, recorded and now playing regularly at Campus Radio 93.5. The song is a regularly featured theme track in “Wanted Sweetheart,” an evening program of the radio station. He also had a special guest performance at GMA Iloilo’s top-rating morning show “Arangkada” last month to promote his single. Likewise, he was also picked to play the lead role in the 2013 Ilonggo Short Film Contest official entry entitled “Ang Kanta” (The Song) as part of the Iloilo Sineng Pambansa Film Festival event of the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) last month.

Daniel is more than just a pretty face, his impressive talent to play all kinds of musical instruments, songwriting ability and rock-tinged unique singing voice makes him a natural entertainer and performer onstage. His passion for music started during his elementary years when his grandfather gave him a guitar and his school teacher discovered that he has a great singing voice. The next thing he knew, he was already a constant performer in different school programs and events. He also trained and exposed himself in the local band scene that led to the founding of their band, The Question Prone. His dream as an artist focuses on sharing inspiration to the younger generation of Ilonggo youth today. He believes that Ilonggo talents have what it takes to shine and succeed in promoting local music.

Daniel Zedane recently released the official music video of his Tagalog single “Seryoso” in youtube and he’s preparing to release his first Ilonggo single entitled “Ginadamgo,” plus other originally-composed English songs for a possible independent mixtape album this year.  You can check out important updates about him through his facebook page (www.facebook.com/danielzedane) and official webpage (www.danielzedane.blogspot.com). The artist is grateful for My Phone and Panay News for giving him the chance to share his music last Dinagyang Festival.
