Ylona Garcia has experienced her fair share of new beginnings. Having first come into the spotlight as a housemate on Pinoy Big Brother, she transitioned from being a young performer in Australia to a full-blown reality TV star in the Philippines. She’s reinvented herself a number of times since: as a recording artist, as a VJ and, most recently, as the latest artist on PARADISE RISING’s growing roster of talents.
We can’t say we’re surprised—not when there have been whispers about Ylo potentially joining 88rising and her participation in their virtual concert, Asia Rising Forever, adding fuel to the speculations. With fellow Filipino talents Guapdad 4000, Kiana Valenciano, Jason Dhakal, FERN., Leila Alcasid and Massiah having worked with PARADISE RISING, it only made sense for Ylona to join the fold.

After months of speculation, Ylona’s first single with PARADISE RISING dropped today. Created alongside Peter Hanna (The Jonas Brothers, The Chainsmokers) and Grammy nominated Michael Fatkin (Natasha Bedingfield, Hillsong United), All That is an empowering self-love disco anthem. True to Ylona’s personality, the track brims with self-assured confidence. Separating herself from toxicity and breaking her own boundaries, Ylona Garcia is owning her own sound and space.
“I let go of that shit back in 2020,” the lyrics say—and perhaps that’s a reminder that all of us need to hear once in a while. Here’s to hitting refresh, no regrets.
