Filipino singer Lani Misalucha has headlined numerous concerts in the Philippines and abroad. She is regarded as one of the most successful Filipino artist in live entertainment.[1] She came to prominence in 1996 following the release of her first single "More Than I Should" and competed at the Metropop Song Festival twice (1996 & 1999), winning the latter.[2] She represented the Philippines at the 3rd Asia Song Festival in 1998 and took home the "Best Interpreter" award for her performance. Less than five years since she pursued a singing career in the industry, she staged her first major solo concert Lani Misalucha: The Crossover Live Tour (2001) at the Araneta Coliseum.[3] It received praises from critics and audiences and became the twelfth recipient of the coveted "Entertainer of the Year" at the Aliw Awards.[4]
As an acclaimed entertainer, Misalucha has embarked on a great number of concerts in America, Middle East, Asia and Oceania. She has performed alongside musical artists such as Brian McKnight, Kenny Loggins, Sergio Mendes, Jim Brickman and Stephen Bishop.[5][6] In 2003, Misalucha was handpicked by Whitney Houston to join her in Japan for her first concert in Asia but had to withdraw due to her pregnancy.[7] She received further recognition as a performer in 2004 after headlining a string of concert series in Las Vegas and became the first Asian artist to headline in a main showroom in Vegas,[8] as well as the first Filipino musical artist to headline a six-month stint in Vegas.[9][10] In 2007, she was handpicked by Josh Groban to perform at his concert in Manila, as part of the Awake Tour.[11] In November 2009, Dionne Warwick and Mike Tyson attended her show at Hilton in Las Vegas.[12][13] American singer Gladys Night also attended one of her shows at Flamingo Hotel[14] while American music producer Joe Jackson was also a frequent attendee of her shows at the city.[14]
After concluding her successful concert runs in Las Vegas, she went back to the Philippines and staged a series of shows. In 2014, she headlined her first solo concert at the Big Dome in nearly seven years La Nightingale. In 2016, her two-night show Love Catcher took home the "Concert of the Year" at the PMPC Star Awards for Music.[15] She tied with Regine Velasquez for two consecutive years (2015-2016) at the Box Office Entertainment Awards as the "Female Concert Performer of the Year".[16] In 2017, she bagged the same honor at the PMPC Star Awards for Music for her performance in the Masquerade Concert[17] and was invited as one of the performers at the ASEAN Gala.[18] In the following years, two of her co-headlining concerts with Morissette (2018) and Martin Nievera (2019) have each won "Best Collaboration in a Concert" at the Aliw Awards.[19][20] In November 2019, she performed the Philippine national anthem at the 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games at the Philippine Arena.[21]
