From online hearthrob to newest recording artist: Kimpoy Feliciano releases debut album


I've met Kimpoy for the first time during the "Kimpoy Feliciano Media Conference" presented by Universal Records, Orion Entertainment, Pinoy Song Magazine and LionHearTV December 6 held at the Universal Towers in Quezon Avenue. 
I have heard  his songs in radio, seen him in his guestings in some TV shows, and in many YouTube. I am really glad, that he is one of talented young celebrities and now as the social media Filipino teen sensation. Amazingly, he has built his fanbase by being crazy boy -next-door cute , as people say that he is "pa-cute" with his "pinoy banats" and love musings via youtube, twitter and tumblr.


Paolo "Kimpoy" Vivas Feliciano, nowadays, the online hearthrob  with his undeniable charm, wit, and down-to-earth personality, no has amassed a solid following in cyberspace with more than 430,000 followers on Twitter, 100,000 on Facebook, 100,000 on Tumblr, and more than 2,000,000 views on Youtube. This phenomenon paved the way for doors of opportunities to open for this online sensation, currently based in New Zealand.


Kimpoy launched his self-titled debut album, produced by Universal Records, to a multitude of supporters who packed the SM Manila Entertainment Center last Friday. The album includes the hit Ikaw Lang, which topped the www.mymusicstore.com.ph charts for two weeks and figured prominently in the MYX Daily Top 10 for almost three weeks. The song is also enjoying favorable airplay on radio.

“I am humbled and overwhelmed first with the trust and support given to me by Universal Records. I really never thought that I’d be given my own album, so nagpapasalamat talaga ako,” expresses Kimpoy. 

“Aside from that, I am also equally grateful to all my friends/followers that showed support during my launch. Nakakataba ng puso na maraming nagpunta at nagbigay ng suporta.”

Aside from Ikaw Langthe album also includes Kimpoy’s renditons of Ngiti, Right Next To Me, I’ll Be Your Hero, Una at Huling Mamahalin, and Alipin, which he dedicates to all his followers. The album, produced by multi-platinum producer Ito Rapadas, comes with a DVD of all the album’s music videos.

Four years ago, Kimpoy’s family decided to migrate to Dunedin, New Zealand. Just like any kid in his situation then, he had no choice but to oblige in his family’s decision to move to a new place, away from his other family, friends, and classmates.

“It was very hard for me when my family decided to move to Dunedin. I had to leave everyone behind. When we left for Dunedin, it was one of the saddest days in my life,” says the 19-year-old Kimpoy, who is currently a second year Business Management Student in University of Otago. 

“Who would have known that because of that sadness, I would connect to more people in the Philippines through social media? Talagang everything happens for a reason and I am blessed that I have friends from everywhere now. Talagang no boundaries.”

The support of these new friends made Kimpoy one of the most influential Filipinos on Twitter, according to social media analytics site Klout.com. He ranked third in the survey, where he is the lone non-TV star.
Kimpoy graced the cover of the September issue of Pinoy Song Magazine, which is his first magazine cover. 

He bagged the 2012 Globe Tatt Awards’ Thought Mover Award for his nuggets of wisdom. He also received the Best Viral Video Award from MEG Magazine yesterday.

He was adjudged number one Youtube Leader in the 4th Annual Shorty Awards, besting other local and international celebrities. The awarding was held in New York, USA. He was also Peace Ambassador earlier this year by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process.

Kimpoy is also the most followed Twitter user in New Zealand.

"One More Try" , a unique family drama film, Star Cinema offering to the 2012 MMFF

“One More Try,” Star Cinema’s much-awaited top-caliber dramatic offering in the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) with the four of the country’s most sensual stars Angel Locsin, Angelica Panganiban, Zanjoe Marudo, and Dingdong Dantes.

This is an upcoming very unique family drama offering to the MMFF 2012. A romantic dramatic film will make this Christmas season even more hotter as they, which will hit theaters nationwide beginning December 25.

Under the direction of award-winning director Ruel S. Bayani, “One More Try” shares a brave plot that tackles about a loving single mother Grace (Angel) who is willing to sacrifice everything to save her ill son.

All seems well in Grace’s life, especially with the comfort of her son Botchok (Miguel Vergara) and boyfriend Tristan (Zanjoe) who is supporting her. But when Botchok’s rare blood condition becomes more severe, Grace is left with no other choice but to reconnect with Edward (Dingdong), Botchok’s biological father, an accomplished man married with a more successful power woman Jacqueline (Angelica).

All Grace asks from Edward is for him to help her save Botchok, their son. Edward is hesitant at first but Jacq gives him permission. However, such tedious process of curing Botchok starts to taint their happy relationships, for unwanted feelings in the past start to creep in. Until eventually all other options fail except only for one—Edward and Grace need to have another child to permanently cure Botchok and they need to do it the natural way.

In a situation where a life of an innocent child is at stake, can Grace, Edward, Tristan and Jacqueline sacrifice their personal feelings in order to cure Botchok? In this kind of pursuit, who will eventually win–Jacqueline who will go for a kill to save her faltering marriage with Edward or Grace, the devoted mother who will do anything to save her son even if it means compromising her relationship with the man who truly loves her?

This film also featured are Carmina Villaroel, Agot Isidro, Edward Mendez, and Ms. Gina Pareño.

Don’t miss the most dramatic film to conclude 2012, “One More Try,” which will be shown on cinemas nationwide starting December 25.

Moreover, it also has an insulated milk container and cup warmer, offers large capacity containers and is highly ergonomic.

Hailing from Poland his musical journey began during his childhood when he became fascinated by electronic dance music at an early age. He spent 3 years learning step by step how to produce music and also spent this time experimenting with different sounds until he found the one he was passionate about. In 2007 he decided that Trance was indeed his one true music love and it was then he focused on creating euphoric and uplifting Trance music encompassing elements of classical music, new age, chill out and even rock music.

As the years progressed so has the quality of his music and indeed his international profile. His name is now synonymous with labels such as the massive “Armada Music” and indeed Aly& Fila’s world famous“Future Sound of Egypt Recordings”. It was on FSOE that recent singles “True Romance” and “Adelaide” were released with both tracks topping download charts, gaining a massive amount of radio plays and huge gig support from a high number of top DJs.

The success of his productions lead to him receiving a lot of requests from some of the Worlds top Djs for remixes. Already in his short but successful career he has remixed for 4 Time #1 Dj, Armin Van Buuren remixing his track “Coming Home” for the recent Remix version of his last artist album.

Trance Till Dawn History:


The Trance 'Til Dawn (TTD) Family is a group of young, loyal enthusiast of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) from Manila, Philippines with a passion to Dance.  We are promoting a healthy family of honorable clubbers and ravers.  We serve as an advocate of Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. Music is our weapon against ignorance.  Everyday is a celebration of passion and unorthodox friendship

Basically, TTD was formed by a small group of eccentric individuals who met at a Bigfish party back in 2009. The friendship turned out to be a fruitful one, each of them having a passion for Trance music, dancing, and making friends.  They threw the best house parties there is in their sub-culture of ravers, and as time passed by, things evolved. The two people who were the "iPod hoggers" eventually learned music formally in the form of DJing. While another individual just so happened to be immersed in the club scene and had the right rapport with the people in the business, while the rest had the undeniable energy that turn heads.  Then come 3 years later, TTD was approached by the only club that plays non-commercial electronic dance music, which is TIME in Manila, and they were basically given a playground to their own thing.  At first they were under Driven Manila, but after some months, grew to be an independent host at the club.

Our nights used to be called Afterdark, then when we became an independent group, we held an event called Transit, because we Transitioning to a new stage of us being an events group.  We then settle to United Under Dance for our branding name.
