With her innate talent not only in
acting but also in music, former child actress ISABELLE DE LEON is
carving out a niche for herself.
More popularly known as Duday in the TV
sitcom Daddy Di Du Do, with comedian and TV host Vic Sotto,
Isabelle’s charming portrayal of her role easily captured the
hearts and imagination of the show’s followers. For Isabelle acting
had always been a childhood dream. Her very first audition was for a
role in GMA 7’s Munting Anghel, where out of the 200 kids
who auditioned, some of whom had already experience in TV commercials
and acting, she was chosen to play one of the main characters.
For someone who had a good start and
grew up in show business, this young lady is now gaining a different
perspective of the industry. At 18, she confessed that being in show
business “has its rewards, but to keep up with the business, it
involves a lot of patience and hard work.”
Isabelle just signed a contract with
record label PolyEast as she explores her passion for music with her
debut album tentatively called The Love Zone, which contains
an all-original music showcasing her talent in composing and
song-writing and will be out this coming February.
A musician at heart, Isabelle plays
several musical instruments and lists Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The
Carpenters, Led Zeppelin, U2, Steven Tyler, Coldplay, Katy Perry,
Michael Jackson, Heber Bartolome, and Bamboo as her musical
influences because she admires “their passion for music and the way
it made an impact to the lives of the people in their generation.”
Of the artists mentioned above, Katy
Perry not only serves as a musical influence but also a style icon
for Isabelle. “I like her because she 's unafraid to try out new
things and carry it with confidence. She balances being cute and
girly but a rocker chick at the same time.”
Isabelle described her personal style
as vintage punk rock preferring vintage loose tops, ripped skirts,
plaids, checkered sleeves, faded shorts and kick-ass Pony shoes. But
she also admits that she liked to be all dolled-up and dress really
girly at times. Her rock and roll attitude, creativity, and pure
talent are also the same reasons why the popular shoe brand Pony
picked her to be its ambassador. Pony marketing manager Donna Santos
said “Isabelle is unique and extraordinary. Apart from being a very
good actor, she’s also a very good singer, musician (plays the
guitar, drums and harmonica), composer and aspiring illustrator.
She’s not afraid to express who she really is and create her own
style. She possesses all the qualities that reflect the Pony brand.”
For Isabelle, Pony shoes fit her
perfectly because “they’re so durable and comfy! Plus, they've
got a lot of really awesome designs that every artist, musician or
simple teenager who wants to look cool would fall in love with!”
