Perez was born on January 15, 2007, and brought up in Ontario, Canada. She started her journey in childhood and at the age of just 7, she earned the title of “Little Miss Philippines Canada 2014.” This was the first achievement that opened doors for her in the entertainment world. She got opportunities to appear on several Filipino TV reality shows, where her love for music and performance shone in the sky as a rising star.
Arielle’s musical career has been influenced by her family members (father and grandfather) who were renowned singers during their time. They introduced her to the world of music and instilled in her a love for singing and piano. Their guidance and empowerment built a strong foundation for her career.
Arielle has received several recognition and awards till today. She appeared in the World Championships of Performing Arts (WCOPA), an international competition to showcase her talent. Arielle won four awards in singing, songwriting, acting, and musical accompaniment and became a multi-medalist. This victory solidified her reputation as an exceptional artist and proved her ability to shine on an international stage.
She attracted audiences with her top performances consistently. During the Government of Canada’s Asian Heritage Month Celebration in Ottawa, she performed the Canadian national anthem in English and French in 2023. In this event, she gained recognition from several members of parliament, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It was a proud moment and a significant achievement for Arielle in her journey as a cultural ambassador representing the Filipino-Canadian community.
The experience outclassed the performance itself which exemplified a profound significance. It empowered Arielle to showcase her talent on a national level and connect with a diverse community of Asian descent artists across Canada to celebrate the richness of cultural heritage and the beauty of artistic expression.
As a Solo Artist, she influenced multiple stages and the music scene across Canada. She has worked on the same stage with industry-leading performers, including BINI, SB19, Moira Dela Torre, and Ben&Ben as a Front-Act performer for High-Profile Filipino Celebrity concerts. The energy from the crowd was electrifying, and during one of her songs, the audience raised their flashlights and sang along. It was a mesmerizing experience that made her feel like she was shining in the sky like stars.
This simple yet profound gesture left a lasting impact on her life which always reminds her of the important role an opener plays in shaping the audience’s overall experience. Her way of engaging with audiences and delivering rocking performances has made her a soulful performer at major events. She was invited as a guest performer at the Taste of Manila Festival, with 10K+ attendees, in Toronto.
Arielle’s musical journey is deeply personal and full of challenges. The loss of her grandfather was a difficult experience for her which became a guiding force in her musical path and led her to write a song “Without You” as a tribute to him. This song was her first release. This experience not only helped her cope with grief but also honored his grandfather’s legacy.
Arielle’s music reflects her emotions, pop, R&B, soulful melodies, and personal experiences during her live performances as a singer-songwriter. Her songs, like “Beyond Your Tears” and “Broken Pieces” reflected her personal growth and captured audiences’ attention. Her YouTube channel features a range of covers and original songs and performances. Her rendition of Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie” during the Jaya and Jay-R Concert showcases her vocal prowess and stage presence.
One of Arielle’s achievements in 2024 was her first headlining concert, “With Love, Elle.” This sold-out event was a testament to her growing fanbase and the impact of her music. The concert celebrated her artistic journey and marked a new chapter in her career that reinforced her status as a star in the music landscape.
Arielle has a spirit to give back to underprivileged communities beyond her musical accomplishments. She provided school supplies and food to children in her parents’ hometowns in Batangas which demonstrated her kindness and commitment to making a difference. She extended her philanthropic efforts post-2024 concert by donating classroom materials to Gasang Elementary School to ensure that students had sufficient resources for a better education.
Another challenge she has overcome is the comparison to other artists within the industry. She has struggled with self-doubts and the pressures of living up to expectations which is common to young performers. However, she learned to embrace her unique artistry and trust in her journey through resilience and self-discovery. She wanna tell to other young artists that authenticity and perseverance are key to success.
Arielle has big dreams for the future. One day she will perform on global stages, collaborate with top producers, and create music that touches listeners’ hearts. She is a rising star and an artist whose journey is only just beginning. Every performance by Arielle is a reminder that true artistry is a combination of talent, vision, and raw emotion.
