Nagpakitang-gilas ang Filipino-American RnB singer-songwriter na si Tiana Kocher sa grand presscon ng kanyang bagong single na "Slow It Down" na ginanap sa Delimondo Cafe sa Makati City nitong Abril 21.

Bukod sa pag-awit ng kanyang latest single, pinabilib niya rin ang mga dumalong entertainment press pati na rin ang kanyang fans at supporters na Tianatics sa pagkanta niya ng iba pa niyang original songs gaya ng "Boy Bye" pati na rin ng cover niya ng "Lucky" ni Britney Spears kasama ang Sub Projekt Band. Ang galing ni Tiana, in fairness!

Si Tiana na ipinanganak dito sa Pilipinas pero naka-base sa Amerika ay anak ng businesswoman na si Katrina Ponce Enrile at apo ni dating Senador Juan Ponce Enrile.

Itinaon niya sa kanyang bakasyon dito sa Pilipinas ang pag-release niya ng "Slow It Down." Gusto niyang ipakita sa American market ang talento ng mga Pinoy. 

“I’ve always been back and forth. It just so happened that I’m home now for my single release. So I said, why not make it a big thing and show to the American market that there are competitors in the Philippines.That there’s a lot of talents that we could also show in the US and the Philippine market," sabi ni Tiana.

Maliit pa lang si Tiana ay hilig na niyang kumanta. Pero nagsimula ang kanyang music career nang i-upload ng kanyang mommy na si Katrina Ponce Enrile sa Facebook ang video niya habang kumakanta at nakiki-jam sa mga musikero sa beach. Napanood ito ng ilang producers sa LA at kaagad siyang pinag-record ng demos. And the rest is history, ika nga.

Nagpapasalamat nga si Tiana na bukod sa kanyang pamilya na very supportive sa kanya ay todo-suporta rin sa kanya ang Tianatics. Kaya naman hindi niya mapigilang maging emosyonal nang makita ang kanyang Pinoy fans at supporters na may hawak na placards at pictures niya.

Kung mabibigyan ng pagkakataon gusto ni Tiana na makapag-perform sa "ASAP Natin 'To" o sa "Eat Bulaga," ang mga show na napapanood niya.
