Cianne plays the waiting game in ‘Traffic’“IT’S Showtime” host Cianne Dominguez is taking a new path as a recording artist with her first single “Traffic” released under StarPop.

The former “Sexy Babe” contestant explores “situationships” or relationships without any label in the song and conveys the restlessness in waiting, similar to being stuck in traffic. It was written and produced by her “It’s Showtime” cohost and Rocksteddy lead vocalist Teddy Corpuz.

As a kid, the up-and-coming artist dreamed of becoming a singer and auditioned for singing competitions to hone her skills as an artist.

“Noong bata pa lang ako hilig ko na talaga sumali sa singing contests and lagi ako and ‘yung family ko kumakanta sa church. Nag-try rin ako sumali sa ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ before kasi gusto ko talaga mag-pursue ng singing lalo na pangarap ko rin makasama sa mga play,” she said.

Aside from her singing talent, she has also showcased her dancing and comedy chops on other “It’s Showtime” segments, such as “Girl on Fire” and “Isip Bata.” Some of her musical influences are Idina Menzel and Lea Salonga.
