FULLERTON, CA – Friendship Games 2010 is proud to offically present Half-time performers: 4PLAY! 4Play consists of four exceptional young women brought together by their passion for music and dance. These four beautiful and talented ladies utilize an intoxicating mix of sexy eclectic beats with their sultry Pop/R&B vocals.
Since the group launched in December 2009 they have traveled the country proudly representing Asian-Americans in music. Their first solo concert took place in Phoenix, Arizona last April, and they made two more appearances in the cities of Tempe at Casino Arizona and Scottsdale for the Dragon Boat Festival. A solo concert in the Bay followed right after last May at the OLGC Hall in San Leandro, CA. They recently graced the people of Seattle, Washington last month for a press conference, club appearances and performance at the Annual Filipino-American Festival. They are scheduled to come back to Seattle this coming November 6 for a full concert. With their growing popularity, fans have praised them as “the group who can bring Asian-American acclaim in music.” In addition, newspapers like Fil-Am Star, Manila Mail, and Asian Journal have dubbed them the “hottest girl group to come from the Bay Area.”
This group of women are all from the San Francisco, Bay Area. They all have the drive and determination to break into the music industry not only in the U.S. but all over the world. What is more exciting is that they are all Filipinas ready to represent their identity as Filipina-American artists. They have released two original songs: “Believe Me” and “Watch & See”. Their self titled single: “Fourplay” debuted at the Pink and Black Party on August 21 at Suite 181 in San Francisco, CA.
This type of act has been widely anticipated since the heyday of the Filipino-American Singing Group explosion during the late 1990’s (i.e. Kai, Pinay, DnH, and One Voice). Recently, the Korean Pop Industry has greatly advanced global recognition for Asian-Americans in music. As of late, the 4Play Ladies blended both genres and have become prominent figures in boosting awareness for Asian-American artists in the USA; most notably the Bay Area. Their live performances, packed with choreography and vocal acrobatics, quickly promoted their large following.
They are determined to become the first Filipino-American female singing group to breakthrough Mainstream Media. They are ready to represent Filipinos and make an impact in American Music. Their debut album is anticipated to be released this Fall.
Each member brings a different flavor to the stage. Trish Maxelle is the vibrant and bubbly vocalist that truly knows how to engage and entertain the audiences with her dance moves. Elle Jaxon is the sporty and sexy soulstress who mesmerizes you with her low-toned rich vocals. Carlen Jewelle is the petite but powerful diva whose forte is to belt away the notes. Charlie Rano is the dancing and harmony queen who combines sophistication and style on the stage.
A powerhouse combination, these ladies bring fun, high energy, sassy and classy entertainment that will leave audiences wanting more 4Play!
