The Dingdong Dantes Experience to be launched on SOP, July 19

Get the chance to take home The Dingdong Dantes Experience!

This unique album is an audiovisual project conceived by Universal Records for the Ultimate Pinoy Hunk Dingdong Dantes. It's not just the first project Dingdong Dantes has with a record label, but also the first time that any local celebrity will release such an exciting concept.


The 'VISUAL' side includes a mini coffee table book/scrapbook containing exclusive images of the GMA-7 star and a DVD featuring 4 music videos shot by topnotch music video & commercial directors exclusively for this project.


Directors like Louie Ignacio ("Cucu Oh Yeah" music video), Rico Gutierrez & Shoti Benares ("I Know You Want Me" by Calle Ocho music video), Adrian Calumpang ("Shining Star" music video) and Treb Monteros ("Tender Love" music video), worked closely with Dingdong Dantes in conceptualizing the look and feel of each music video. These videos are, after all, Dingdong's babies. The beautifully photographed mini coffee table book/scrapbook showcases the serious, the playful and the sexy sides of Dingdong. These exclusive photos are only available in this book and have never been published elsewhere. Also included are some behind-the-scenes pictures taken during his music video shoots.

The 'AUDIO' side is actually a CD containing 6 international hits personally selected by Dingdong Dantes. Songs range from R&B/hip hop tracks to club hits and even a tender ballad. These are: the #1 Billboard smash "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" by Pitbull, club favourite "Shining Star" by Get Far, "Tender Love" by Jordan Knight and the infectious Latin-flavoured carrier track "Cucu (Oh Yeah)" by Miguel Fernandez.

Dingdong started in showbiz as part of the male dance group called Abztract Dancers. At 17, teenagers fell in love with him when he essayed the role of the debonair boy-next-door Iñaki in GMA 7's youth-oriented show T.G.I.S. (Thank God It's Sabado). From then on, the public followed his career as he made more movies and even became a host in shows and beauty pageants.

He eventually landed a major role as King Ybrahim in the Encantadia fantasy-themed television saga on the Kapuso Network. His popularity skyrocketed in November 2007 when he portrayed Sergio Santibañez in the local version of the Mexican hit series, Marimar. He was then paired with Marian Rivera and their loveteam was again featured in the remake of Dyesebel. Their last project TV together was the Carlo J. Caparas classic Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang.

Dingdong is now regarded as one of the hottest leading men in local showbiz, with a wave of commercial endorsements: Goldilocks, Bench, Medicol, Touch Mobile (TM), San Mig Light Beer, Ponds etc.

Last year, E! Entertainment included Dingdong on their list of 25 Sexiest Men of the World. Dingdong is the only Filipino included, making him the highest-ranking Asian who made the prestigious list. E! Entertainment is one of the largest and most popular networks in Hollywood and the most subscribed network around the world, which is available to 88 million subscribers in the U.S. and 600 million homes internationally.

The Dingdong Dantes Experience is available in 2 formats: Book+DVD+CD and VCD+CD. It will be publicly launched tomorrow, July 19, on GMA-7's Sunday variety show SOP.
