The pilot episode will feature Shane Lumanog, hailing from the city of Angeles, Pampanga. She is an independent singer-songwriter prominent for crafting music in the Kapampangan language.
Her musical journey began at the age of four when she first picked up the ukulele, igniting her passion for music. As she turned 10, she had also mastered the guitar, which inspired her even more to create songs that celebrate her native tongue, Kapampangan.
The Lumanog surname holds significance in the country’s music scene, attributed to their lineage as renowned guitar makers. Together with her sister, Shena, they collaborated and have built a dynamic duo on stage to represent their home province. Shane has produced numerous Kapampangan pop hits and remains dedicated to expanding her music’s reach into the mainstream.
