Enchong releases debut album

MANILA, Philippines - Enchong Dee (photo) is now a certified recording artist after the release of his self-titled debut album under Star Records. He had his grand album launch on ABS-CBN’s ASAP 19 last Oct. 5.

“My current single, Chinito Problems, was just originally meant for digital release. That’s why I feel so blessed when we eventually worked on a full album containing my type of music that my followers will also appreciate,” said Enchong, adding that he dreamt of becoming a singer since he was nine.

Aware of other actor-singers who have also released albums, Enchong believes his musical career is distinct from fellow Kapamilya heartthrobs like Daniel Padilla, Xian Lim and Enrique Gil.

“All of us have something special to offer. In fact, if you’ll listen to my songs, you can easily tell that it’s me. When you play my album, it’s as if you’re bonding with me and loving what I love. It’s pure fun and dancing,” he said.

Aside from the radio hit single Chinito Problems, Enchong’s six-track album also features his own song titled Isip o Puso, which he composed during the promotion of Once a Princess, that topbilled him with Erich Gonzales.

“There’s something for those who are in-love, heartbroken, and even those who just love to dance and have fun,” said the 26-year-old actor-singer, whose musical influences range from ‘90s boybands such as Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, to music icons such as Michael Jackson, Josh Groban and Usher.

Completing the tracklist of Enchong’s album are Step No Step Yes, Hanggang Dito Na Lang, Seloso and Tambalang OMG, which he sang with Alex Gonzaga.

The CD is available for P199 at all record bars nationwide.
