From inside the “Pinoy Big Brother” house to their jam-packed “Add to Heart” concert last May 31 at the Music Museum, KD Estrada and Alexa Ilacad, collectively known as KDLex, continue to prove they deserve being labelled as the country’s hottest musical pair.
Via the concert, KDLex delivered a series of swoon-worthy performances that left their fans, the Sweethearts, in awe.
Offering numbers individually and as a duo, both were able to highlight their respective musical strengths: KD showcased his guitar prowess, while Alexa made fans swoon with her stunning vocals.
Both credit their fans for their excellent performance.
“The adrenaline rush that it gives, malaking boost ‘yun sa performance namin. Nakaka-hype talaga if you see them. It’s priceless when you get to see their reactions,” Alexa shared, acknowledging how different the concert was in comparison to their first online concert in 2022.
The concert also featured guest singers.
KD delivered a memorable duet with Bugoy Drilon, while Alexa shined in her performance with Yeng Constantino.
“Si Kuya Bugoy was an inspiration since I was 16 when I started singing. Nakikita ko yung BuDaKhel, and ‘dun ako natuto mag-harmonize, mag-runs. In a way, I kind of adapted their singing style which is more of R&B and Pop. It’s a childhood dream of mine to work with one of them,” KD shared.
Note that prior, both KD and Alexa starred in their first theater role as Julia and Tenyong in PETA’s “Walang Aray,” a modern adaptation of “Walang Sugat,” for which Alexa scored a nomination at the Gawad Buhay Awards.
The two cited the experience as a huge factor in their continued growth as artists.
“It helped me open up my voice. I had to learn how to sing from the chest and project my voice so that the audience would hear me,” KD shared.
With the success of their recent concert, the duo shows no signs of slowing down.
When asked about future projects, whether individually or as a love team, KD shared his hope of releasing new music.
“I’ll continue working on my music. Kahit anong mangyari sa career ko, it is something I will always go back to,” KD said.
Alexa, on her part, confirms that the music video of her unreleased song, “Kung Naging Tayo” is in the works.
