aria Panlilio, Marisse as she is fondly called. The eldest of 7 children, Marisse certainly has music in her blood. Coming from a long line of respectable musicians. it comes as no surprise that Marisse would have a predilection to music. Having such strong musical influences growing up, and with the support and encouragement of loving parents, Juliet and Joe , it was not long before Marisse turned interest into application. By her freshman year in high school, she learned to play musical instruments by ear, and later on joined her high school chorale group as a singer and guitarist. In college, she was one of the only two students chosen from College of the Holy Spirit to sing with the San Beda Chorale (with Hajji Alejandro as a contemporary). She also performed several times at the Philippine Women’s University as a self-accompanied solo performer. Marisse’s fascination with music did not only revolve around its auditory end product, but its production and technical aspects as well. Here in the States, in the early 1980‘s, she had a stint with the BZ Signal band as their sound technician, all the more fueling her passion for electronic/sound reproduction equipments. Always a patron of the Filipino talent, Marisse has probably watched every Filipino concert/show ever produced in the East Coast, and has incessantly been astounded by the addicting energy induced by live performances. At this point, Marisse began to entertain the idea of creating a production company of her own. When asked about the fruition of her vision, Marisse has this to say, “Well, I’ve always been interested in music and the entertainment industry, it has long been a passion of mine. It made perfect sense. Ultimately, I believe I approached the table with a good deck of cards in my hands.”
Marisse has a 26 year track record in corporate experience; from the airline industry, sales and marketing and information technology, to name a few, before devoting her time to her passion, entertainment.
