This Summer 2013, Daniel Zedane's second single and new Ilonggo song "Ginadamgo" will have an official music video to be produced by RSLPhoenix Music. "Ginadamgo" (Dreaming) was also the theme song of his first Ilonggo short film "Ang Kanta," an entry to the 2nd Ilonggo Short Film Competition of the Film Development Council of the Philippines last January.
Ilonggo artist Daniel Zedane performed his single "Seryoso" at Sugarland Hotel
Grand Ballroom in Bacolod City last March 16, 2013 during the launching
of Cambridge Academy- Alijis Creative Learning School as guest artist.
There's always a first time for Daniel Zedane, an Ilonggo acoustic artist who released his first original Tagalog single "Seryoso" last January and became a hit song at Campus Radio 93.5 in Iloilo City. After all the great things that happened right after his song first hit the internet and airwaves, he got his chance for the first live performance in Bacolod City after he was invited by Cambridge Academy,a private elementary school that recently had their closing exercises last March 16, 1pm at Sugarland Hotel Grand Ballroom Hall. Daniel's live performance of One Direction mash-up of hit songs "What Makes You Beautiful/One Thing" and OPM hit track "Pusong Bato" captivated the crowd, from the kids to their parents, they were dancing to his performance. His natural talent in entertaining the audience and his strong presence as an artist was felt in the venue while he perform with his acoustic guitar. Before the event ended, Daniel performed several other OPM tracks and sang his first single "Seryoso" and the newly-released original Ilonggo song "Ginadamgo." In the evening, Daniel enjoyed a night of disco-clubbing at MO2 Ice Bacolod with the Cambridge Academy staff.
The following day, March 17, Daniel had his first Bacolod City radio FM visit to Campus Radio 107.1, Love Radio and MOR Bacolod. Surprisingly, Campus Radio DJs immediately approved for regular airplay and included his single "Seryoso" in their official playlist. They were impressed with his song after submitting a CD copy of his 2 songs. The song premiered on-air this week at Campus Radio 107.1 and hoping other FM stations would pick up his song. After his radio visit, Daniel had a meeting with 6100 Records artists rapper Poy and event organizer Patrick Bucabal for some possible future projects. He also meet up with Jen Sanchez, the Bacolod-based newest Ilongga pop artist under RSLPhoenix Music who will release her first single "Bakit" this week.
Daniel enjoyed a 3-night stay at Sugarland Hotel and a three-day trip in Bacolod City courtesy of Cambridge Academy management.
The future of this young artist to come back again in Bacolod City and explore more projects, is possible to happen since Cambridge Academy management told him they were interested to hire him to teach guitar lesson and voice training with their students during their summer class starting second week of April. Daniel
is also set to record a possible collaboration song with Jen Sanchez
and rapper Poy of 6100 Records.
Finally, acoustic heartthrob of Iloilo, Daniel Zedane posted the official lyric video of his first Ilonggo song in his youtube channel this week. The song is an original Ilonggo composition he co-wrote with Ronelo "RSLPhoenix" Ladiao and he put his heart in creating a mesmerizing melody with acoustic guitar. It was recorded at M.I.C. Muzik studio with Zpinx Angel who finalized the track.
"GINADAMGO" (Dreaming) is his second original song written and performed in Ilonggo that talks about a guy expressing his sincerity and true love for the girl that caught his heart. A music video is being planned to be produced again in the coming months after the song will be distributed to local FM stations in the region. Daniel prides himself as an Ilonggo artist from Iloilo City, Philippines and under the independent management team of RSLPhoenix Music.

Daniel Zedane is a real artist by heart. Since he was 15, he has involved himself in the local music band scene in Iloilo City. He considered this exposure as a training ground to improve his talent not only as a vocalist but as a musician who could actually play musical instruments like guitar, organ and drums. But his first love is playing the guitar. Now at 18, Daniel still has the same interest and love for music. Early in 2012, Daniel experienced the deepest heartache and emotional pain for a true love when he wrote his soulful original Tagalog song "Seryoso." The song is sad, a tearjerker and inspiring track that is easy to relate for teenagers going through a lot of emotional ups-and-downs. It is his lonely story of winning the heart of someone he cared about and putting a taste of teenage-angst in the song. It is sweet to listen to.
When RSLPhoenix team met this talented acoustic artist in December of 2012, he was still searching for his place under the sun. Instantly, they believed in his innate potential for music, as an artist, vocalist and musician. Without second thought, they head on to the recording studio of M.I.C. Muzik to record the song in 2-3 hours. Then "Seryoso" was born. The song was posted in the artist's youtube channel and "likers" in facebook came in with only good impression for the song. Then, RSLPhoenix together with Ryan Supremo, a budding videographer worked together to produced and co-directed the official music video of the song. Shot in several landmarks of Iloilo City such as Fort San Pedro, Plaza Libertad and La Paz Plaza, the music video is a total promotion of Ilonggo talent and culture. Kuris Animation edited the music video and was later posted in youtube.
Daniel has come a long way since his first song was released just 2 months ago. In fact, the song enjoyed a constant airplay at Campus Radio 93.5 that also helped made the song reachable to the Ilonggos. The future is promising for this young artist because they intended to bring the song in FM stations in Bacolod City and other parts of Western Visayas hoping it could inspire more music listeners. What's more, he enjoyed several media exposure both in newspaper articles, TV guestings and event gigs. Daniel have regular gigs as an solo acoustic artist in Fiesta Restaurant in Robinsons Iloilo twice a week, weekly with Zonetrack band in Smallville and also selected gigs with his newly-founded band, the Questune Prone.
In the coming weeks, he is ready to release an Ilonggo song entitled "Ginadamgo" co-written with RSLPhoenix with his instrumental arrangement.
Daniel Zedane is an artist by heart. He believes that being humble, optimistic and sincere will put his dreams to reality someday. He will always be an artist who will never change but will continue to inspire young people like him through his music.
Ilonggo acoustic artist Daniel Zedane performed "Panalangin" by the Apo Hiking Society and his first Tagalog single "Seryoso" at GAD Film Festival 2013 in the audio visual room of West Visayas State University Lambunao Campus last March 5, 2013.
