Alaina Therese Rosales Manalo was born in the Philippines and grew up in New Minas, NS. Her passion in music and the arts emerged at a young age, and continues to explore her creativity. Growing up in a music orientated family and setting helped her develop an interest of writing her own music at the age of 10, along with performing in musicals, and expressing herself through poetry. Her musical journey began at the age of three when she started singing, and she has since continued to explore various instruments such as the guitar, piano and ukulele.
Earlier this spring, Alaina won first place in the Battle of the Bands showcasing her original song, "Growing Pains." Ever since, she has been giving more local performances. Currently, she is now working on her debut single, "Wanna Be," in her home studio which will be released towards the end of this year.
