Rhian Ramos now a recording artist

MANILA, Philippines - X-Play Online Games, Inc. (X-Play) and Bellhaus Entertainment, Inc. recently launched Rhian Ramos’ singing career with the Audition Dance Battle album.

Rhian showcases her singing talent with You, carrier single of the 15-track dance album of Audition Dance Battle, a popular on-line casual dance game with millions of players worldwide and published locally by X-Play, the joint venture company of GMA Network Inc.’s digital media arm GMA New Media Inc. (GMA NMI) and leading on-line gaming publisher IP E-Game Ventures Inc. (E-Games).

“It’s been such a great year for me; sobrang dami kong blessings na nakuha this year. I wanted talaga to be able to give something new to everyone who supported me. This year, singing was it,” shared Rhian during the launch of the album on GMA 7’s S.O.P., which was a double celebration for Rhian who also marked her birthday that day.

Rhian’s launch was also the premiere for the official music video of You. Directed by Jeff Tan of Bellhaus, the video featured a sophisticated Rhian in stylish party scenes along with Sheena Halili, Dominic Roco, Vaness del Moral, Brenan, and Audition’s players. Highlights of the music video included scenes of Rhian in an elegant helicopter amidst a classic skyline.

Rhian has been planning to come out with her own album this year. “We’ve all worked so hard to make this album happen, and I thank the Audition family na talagang pinaghirapan yung album,” said Rhian. Audistas, as Audition Dance Battle players are called, have chosen Rhian’s song to dance frequently inside the game that it has stayed in the No. 1 spot for several weeks now. Audition Dance Battle offers the ultimate on-line gaming experience for dance aficionados, who enjoy grooving to the beat of fun and funky dance hits.
