    New Sound, New Heights: Jenzen Guino Strikes the Right Chord

Now, with a string of recent releases backed by a new label and artistic home, he harnesses his inherent flair for telling stories through heartfelt hymns and catchy melodies, along with lyricism that’s reflective of his youth and with it, his universe of truth. Five years into the game, Guino marks himself ready for take off and onto higher ground with a crescendo of new pursuits from upcoming new hits and a promise to shift gears and take his artistry to new, greater heights.

    Manila Luzon of the People, by the People, and for the People

    Off her successful thrust atop the pantheon of global drag superstars birthed by the million-dollar empire by drag goddess, RuPaul, herself, Manila Luzon, one of the most recognizable drag artists ever to graduate from the phenomenal, and seminal Drag Race franchise, heads on to work on what she refers as her most important career decision of late—a drag pageant of Filipinos, by Filipinos, and for Filipinos. Drag Den Philippines in its launch has already triumphed in bringing unadulterated Filipino drag artistry, with homegrown and nurtured sensibilities to the world stage—void of any preconceived notions of what a drag reality show is and could be. Manila Luzon, the host, recording artist, creative entrepreneur, and icon takes pride in putting on this titanic role as global ambassador of the Filipino drag arts, while marveling on her newfound connection to her roots and, in doing so, paving the way for young drag artists to harness their rightful time to celebrate and champion drag, as an art form, advocacy, and an unrelenting statement now, more than ever.
