Career

Kiana Valenciano’s professional music career gained momentum in 2017 when she independently released singles like “Circles” and “Does She Know.”

Her first full-length album, See Me (2019), featured ten self-written songs and collaborations with Curtismith, KINGwAw, Sofia, and Moophs.

She has performed internationally, including shows in New York and Los Angeles, and represented the Philippines at the SXSW festival in Texas in 2022.

Her later work has ventured into Tagalog-language songwriting and more pop-leaning sonic textures.

She is part of 88rising’s Paradise Rising label, contributing the track “Safe Place” to its semilucent mixtape.

Her more recent release in 2025, Falling Out, explores themes of relationship endings and emotional conflict.

Kiana has also navigated crossover between music and fashion, collaborating on design projects, notably with Save My Bag via her “Little White Box” venture.

She confronted challenges in fashion events, including the 2018 incident when Filipina models were barred from walking in a show, a moment she and her mother publicly addressed.

Controversy

In December 2024, during her father’s Pure Energy: One More Time concert, the first night was cut due to his reported health issues.

Some critics demanded refunds and questioned the handling of the event.

Kiana responded via social media stating that refunds should be directed to the show’s management and that commenting without context was unfair.

This response received mixed reactions in public discourse.

Another controversy occurred in 2018 when, during a fashion show in Los Angeles, Filipino designers’ runway segments excluded Filipina models.

Kiana and her mother publicly criticized this as discrimination, raising questions about representation and fairness in fashion contexts.
