Griff, Arthur Miguel, Stell, and Dilaw Take Center Stage at Warner Music Philippines' ‘We Play Here’ 2024

Warner Music Philippines’ We Play Here is back, this time with a new set of amazing artists and exciting activities that fans and music enthusiasts can’t miss!

 

A Curated Music Celebration 

We Play Here is a series of unique music experiences designed to bring local and international Warner Music Group artists front and center. The We Play Here ecosystem features live performances, fan engagements, and exciting partnerships – ultimately bringing together Filipinos through music.

Coming from the success of last year's event, this year's We Play Here is bigger and better than ever. To bring their artists’ exciting performances to a wider audience, an expanded series of events will be hosted in different schools running from this year into next.

 

Local and International Headliners 

Dilaw makes a comeback at the We Play Here stage, much to the delight of their fans. The Filipino band is well known for their single “Uhaw (Tayong Lahat),” which went viral in 2023. They have over three million monthly listeners on Spotify, and have recently released a new track titled “Nilalang.”

 

Stell, the main vocalist of SB19, will also be giving a dance-inducing performance. After making his solo debut, Stell released an EP called “Room,” which features songs that fans can expect to hear during We Play Here. Another headliner not to miss is pop artist Arthur Miguel, who continues to shine in the local music industry with hits like “Lihim” and “Ang Wakas.”

 

Marking her first performance in the Philippines, this year’s We Play Here international headliner is British singer-songwriter Griff. Fans will be treated to electrifying songs from her debut album “vertigo,” which was released earlier this year. Despite the upbeat nature of Griff’s songs, a deeper examination reveals themes of introspection. One good example of this is “Tears For Fun,” which shows the complexity of knowing something isn’t good for you, but not being able to resist. On the other hand, “Anything” talks about a relationship where you would do anything for your significant other. Overall, the album offers a relatable look at relationships and love. 

 

Griff has hit many milestones throughout her career, from opening for Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour in 2023 for a few European dates including Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands, to opening for Taylor Swift’s Era’s Tour in London and being a supporting act for Sabrina Carpenter’s US tour later this year.

Performing alongside these headliners are up and coming artists Kahel, Letters from June, Sugarcane, Paul Pablo, and PLAYERTWO. 

 

Fans will get to experience special interactive booths at the event, such as Arthur Miguel's "What if?" and "AM Hugots" wall, Dilaw's "Nilalang" Portraits, and Sugarcane's "Pagbigyan" Tarot Readings. 

 

Other installments include Charli xcx's BRAT photobooth, Griff's Gachapon Machine, and the  "Sikat Sa Pinas" Music & Lyrics booth. The famous WishBus will also be parked in front of the venue, with its final schedule to be announced by Wish FM 107.5.

 

Presented by Warner Music Philippines in partnership with KDR Music House and UP Adcore, We Play Here will kick off on August 23, at the University of the Philippines College of Science Amphitheater. Early Bird tickets are sold out, but fans can still buy regular tickets (P750 each) here.  

 

Stay updated on the different We Play Here promos and and announcements by following their Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. 

 

Ivana Alawi Becomes the Face of LVNA's Barbie Collection and Its First Franchisee

 Ivana Alawi, known for her memorable role as "Bubbles" in the hit teleserye *Ang Batang Quiapo*, embarks on an exciting new journey—one that combines her love for fashion, her entrepreneurial spirit, and her passion for empowering women. 

Ivana has been unveiled as the official endorser of LVNA's latest Barbie Collection, a significant collaboration between the Filipino-owned luxury jewelry brand LVNA by Drake Dustin and the iconic global brand, Barbie by Mattel™. But this partnership is not just about her becoming the face of the collection; Ivana is also making history as the first-ever franchisee of LVNA Jewelry, taking on a new role as a business partner.

Ivana's affinity for jewelry traces back to her childhood, a passion deeply influenced by her mother, who instilled in her the importance of investing in fine pieces. This lifelong love for jewelry made her collaboration with LVNA a natural fit. Expressing her excitement, Ivana shared how much it means to her to represent a brand like LVNA, especially with its latest Barbie-themed collection, which she describes as a dream come true.

"It's an honor, and I love Barbie. Ever since I was a kid, I always played with Barbie. I even watched the movie, and I really look up to Barbie. She's beautiful to look at," Ivana said, reflecting on the meaningful connection she feels with the brand.

Aside from Barbie, the Mattel brand is also well-known for Barbie’s partner, Ken. This led the press at the media event to ask Ivana if she had found her own “Ken” in real life.

With a laugh, Ivana replied, “No… not yet.”

She quickly added, “I’m dating other people, but I’m not in a relationship.”

The Barbie x LVNA collection is designed to go beyond fashion, celebrating beauty, empowerment, and individuality—values that resonate deeply with Ivana’s own personal and professional journey. Growing up, Ivana spent countless hours playing with Barbie dolls, which not only introduced her to the world of fashion and style but also taught her valuable lessons about self-expression and confidence. Now, as a successful actress and social media influencer, Ivana sees this partnership as a continuation of that early passion, only this time, it's on a grander and more impactful scale.

The collection itself is a testament to LVNA’s commitment to creating luxurious, meaningful jewelry that resonates with modern women. Under the leadership of its founder, Drake Dustin Ibay, LVNA has become a leading jewelry brand in the Philippines, known for its innovative designs and dedication to quality. The Barbie x LVNA collection aims to inspire women across generations with its vibrant, avant-garde pieces that not only celebrate femininity but also advocate for empowerment and individuality.

BUsinessBarbie: : Ivana as an Entrepreneur

Beyond her role as an actress and influencer, Ivana’s involvement with LVNA marks her entry into the business world. As the first franchisee of LVNA Jewelry, Ivana is not just endorsing the brand—she's playing a pivotal role in its growth and success. This move highlights her entrepreneurial spirit and her desire to be more than just a public figure; she’s now a key player in a business that aligns with her values and passions.

“You don't have to be perfect; you just have to be yourself. You don't always have to be perfect. So when I watched the movie, I thought the storyline was great. It's really about being yourself, and all your emotions are valid,” Ivana shared, drawing parallels between her own journey and the message behind the Barbie brand.
