It’s an exciting time for Filipino Disney fans with the release of “Raya and The Last Dragon,” the first movie from the studio with a Southeast Asian protagonist — and now a Filipino singer as part of the soundtrack.
The studio recently announced that a local artist would be singing Disney’s first-ever Filipino song. Pinoy Disney Fans can’t hide how proud they are. They came out with this photo as a teaser for who it could be.
The first Filipino-language song from Disney, sung by one of the Philippines’ most powerful voices. Find out who she is tomorrow. #DisneyRayaPH

While the official singer has already been revealed. Internet users had fun guessing who the singer could be based on the hairstyle and silhouette. One user suggested that it was no other than the comedy actress Ai-Ai delas Alas (also dubbed to be the 5th member of BLACKPINK). While another commented that it has to be the fearless songstress Kween Yasmin.
Sorry to disappoint the passionate stans, but the answer is none of the above. It was revealed that KZ Tandingan is the voice behind the anticipated song. KZ Tandingan has been raising our flag around the world. She rose to international fame after joining “Singer 2018,” a contest aired by Hunan Television System in China. Now, she’s making a mark in Western media.
We’re excited to hear from an artist of our own as she sings in this historical Filipino-language track from Disney.
