Dodj Mallari embarks on musical journey

-


Rising Kapamilya star Dodj Mallari has embarked on a singing career as he heads to a recording studio for his debut CD.

"Naka-record na ako ng tatlong kanta. We will have 10 songs for my first CD. Hopefully, the full CD will be out second quarter of next year," said Mallari, during an exclusive interview for the soft launch of ''Christmas Parade by The Bay" held at Salu Restaurant in Quezon City recently.

Mallari said that the three finished songs will be initially heard during a concert entitled "Walang Kokontra-Bida" on November 25.


"Doon nila unang maririnig 'yung tatlong recorded songs ko. I am recording under MCA Universal Records," he said. In fact, Mallari is also thrilled for his upcoming CD because former actress-turned-restaurateur Harlene Bautista has promised to lend him an original song she composed.

Mallari, 32, was introduced in the 2016 Kapamilya teleserye "Magpahanggang Wakas" where he played the best friend of actress Arci Munoz.

Starting this year, Mallari will be busy with four ABS-CBN projects starting off with a stint on the popular teleserye "La Luna Sangre" which stars Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo.

"Kapitbahay ako rito ni Daniel (Padilla). Lalabas din ako sa 'Barangay Tatay.' Ibabalik ng ABS CBN ang comedy at si Vandolph naman ang bida rito. Then 'yung isang TV series na 'On The Job,' matagal na ring tapos yun. Any time pwede na rin ipalabas. Reporter naman ang role ko dito sa serye na ito," said Mallari, who is also being managed by RALF Advertising and Events Management.


In spite of a flourishing career on television, Mallari said that singing his really his passion.

"Hilig ko talaga ang kumanta. Wala pa ako sa showbiz kumakanta na talaga ako. According to my musical arranger, ang range ng voice ko is mid-to-high tempo. So mataas ang boses ko. Parang tipong Erik Santos," said Mallari.

Given the chance, Mallari said he would love to delve into acoustics. "Nasa acoustics lang talaga ang gusto ko. Pero with my personality which is funny and lively, mga masayang songs daw ang bagay sa akin."

At the concert "Walang Kokontra-Bida," Mallari will be joined in by several Kapamilya stars.


"Pinagsama-sama rito yung mga sidekicks and 'yung mga artistang hindi gaanong nabibigyan ng ilaw ng ABS CBN. Noong una, gusto namin parang 'Glee' or 'High School Musical' ang concept. Medyo intellectual type of comedy ang show namin," he actor said.

Mallari said that he is not worried that the masa will not appreciate the concert because of its intellectual nature.

"Hindi naman kami nag-target ng masa pero sa show namin, walang murahan o bastusan pero nakakatawa s'ya," he said.

Mallari said that he is only hoping for the best for this upcoming musical show.

"Mag-i-invite kami ng mga executives from ABS CBN. Hopefully, magkarun ng repeat ito sa bigger venue and magkarun ng din ng provincial tours," he said. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

Kapamilya star Diego Loyzaga has admitted that he is reaching out to his father chief operating officer of Tourism Promotions Board Cesar Montano but he doesn't know if his dad knew that he was making the move. "Oo I am. Pero I don't even know kung alam n'ya. During the Christmas party of ABS CBN last year, I was with Tito Bayani (Agbayani). E magkapitbahay silang dalawa. And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Megastar Sharon Cuneta has complained about the construction of her neighbor's condominium unit, saying that it brought stress to her family. "Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
