Tria Bascon

It is rare that the words Smooth, Powerful, Elegant, Beautiful are all used in the same sentence. These words are often used however, when describing this internationally renowned “torch singing chanteuse”. Tria has a recognized reputation for being a “fashionista”, and the epitome of glamour and style, which is apparent at all her performances and shows. An “elegant diva,” and a great devotee of high fashion. Coming from a very musical family it was only natural that Tria would start singing at an early age. Her father and older siblings were already well known in the music business in Cebu in her native Philippines. After gaining a degree in Business Administration, Tria was spotted singing in a restaurant/jazz lounge and this started her professional singing career. The early influences in her style and range were renowned International vocalists of jazz, standards and pop, which led her to appreciate and develop such a wide range of musical genres. In order to gain greater experience and exposure, Tria then moved to Manila and launched what has become a very successful career. Since those days Tria has travelled far and wide for both pleasure and in pursuit of her work. Her travels have taken her to virtually all Continents of the World adding greatly to her experience both as a vocalist and as a person, and she now spends her non working leisure time between the US and UK, as well as in her native Philippines. She has entertained audiences on luxury cruise liners as well as in 5 star hotels of Asia, Europe, North America and Australasia. She has performed in far reaching and exotic places in the South Pacific, such as French Polynesia, Fiji Islands and The Kingdom of Tonga. A wonderful, smooth and powerful voice is complemented by her natural beauty and graceful elegance, which captures an audience with her remarkable presence. With such an impeccable style, Tria’s performances ensure that a warm, intimate ambience is always present and enhances both the sound and vision experience to the full. It is fair to say that her natural taste in music is classic jazz and pop standards but such great versatility enables her to equally perform and feel at home with the total spectrum of music ranging from classical jazz through Blues, Broadway to modern pop ballads. A key to the success that Tria enjoys is the diversity of her music, which does not limit her performances to a particular genre. She is equally at home with music from Gershwin, Cole Porter, Mancini, Bacharach to songs of Jobim and Sergio Mendez. Her repertoire spans many decades of music and the older big band classics are particular favorites, with singers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Doris Day, Julie London, Patti Austin, Barbra Streisand, to mention a few, being an inspiration and influence on her style and interpretation of music. Extensive travel has assisted Tria in learning to sing in many different languages, enabling her to entertain and charm multicultural audiences in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Indonesian, Tahitian as well as her native Filipino tongue. Tria launched her first album, a jazz album called Wanderlust in 2012, a fulfillment of a long held dream. The dream being to make a very professional, quality album featuring classic jazz songs and performed along with renowned international Musicians. As the choice of title suggests, the tracks selected for the Album readily affirms the life that Tria has experienced and enjoys whilst allowing her to sing in several languages having appeal to a global audience. The tracks, personally selected by Tria, are from a list of her long time favorites and she is accompanied by several well known vocalists and musicians from Asia and Europe. The featured artistes are Moreno Donadel, an Italian jazz/classical pianist, Asia’s premiere vocal group The CompanY, renowned Filipino songwriter and crooner Jose Mari Chan and Aquarela, a bossa/latin group. The Album contains an original track, Magkikita Pa Rin Naman Tayo, a very melodic and moving song written specially for Tria by the Producer of the Album, Moy Ortiz of the The CompanY. It was very pleasing to note that the Wanderlust Album reached the top ten in the Philippine album charts very quickly after it’s release. The Album is also highly recommended and endorsed by both Radio High and Crossover the top two jazz radio stations in the Philippines. In between continuing to perform internationally in shows, concerts and gigs, Tria has plans for new Albums, which will further add to her reputation as a very talented, beautiful chanteuse with a mesmerizing and distinctive voice. The most recent engagement for Tria has been guest Artiste on the Swan Hellenic luxury liner, Minerva as it cruised the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas. Tria is most certainly an internationally renowned performer of the highest caliber and versatility, covering everything from modern pop to classic torch songs.
