Fil-Am lead vocalist of A+ Dropouts looks forward to playing in Makati Circuit Fest

MANILA, Philippines — Amidst up and coming international acts set to perform in a day-long music and skate fest in Makati City, there will be this fair-haired teenage Filipina rocker who will attempt to wow the crowd with her prowess in pop-punk music.

Fourteen-year-old Fil-Am Cheska Zaide, lead vocalist of A+Dropouts, started playing music at a tender age of twelve but is by no means a stranger to the hot stage lights.

Touring with three bandmates from California since they decided to form the band in 2009, Zaide has rocked quite a number of live shows in the States although playing in the country where her parents came from remained special.

“I was born in California but we’ve performed in Manila before and the reception was really good. The food is great, the people even more awesome,” she told INQUIRER.net in a recent interview.

“We are grateful for the support of our Filipino fans. We are excited to play for them again,” said Zaide.

Since they started out in 2009, the lead vocalist said that their sound has changed for the better.

The band will perform new songs when they take the stage at Circuit Fest this Saturday at the Globe Circuit Events Ground in Makati City.

“I’m really excited to see how this show turns out,” Zaide said.
