New York, NY (TOP40 Charts/ JJ Entertainment) -- The Amazing Asian Dolls are set to Perform with American Idol's Jasmine Trias, in their only Southern California Appearance on November 7th!! A shadowy figure lurks on the stage. One by one this phantom materializes each of the Asian Dolls out of nowhere. The girls take over and begin singing and dancing up a storm. Sound unusual? Not if you have been to an Asian Dolls show lately. The Dolls brand of entertainment is always packed full of fun and surprises.
On November 7th, the girls are teaming up with the great Jasmine Trias for the first full throttle Asian Dolls show produced for Los Angeles audiences. Jasmine has recently finished a headlining 6 month run in Las Vegas with the Society of Seven show, and of course fans remember her wowing American Idol in Season 3, as she became runner up #3. Her following in Los Angeles will get to see her up close in this intimate 300 seat setting; LIVE at the Garden Pavilion, sponsored by Seafood City. The show features Jasmine Trias and The Dolls; Rizzy, Jamie, Kriss-z, Leilani and master stage illusionist Mark Paskell.
A little bit of history about the Asian Dolls: Patricia Javier was the original leader, but having a budding family, she stepped down and passed leadership onto Kriss-z Ramos. As Kriss-z was in the midst of reorganizing the girls, tragedy struck in the form of a motorcycle accident on the island of Leyte. It was the same kind of crash that the doctor's there usually see fatal results from. A wild dog came out of the jungle like growth surrounding the rutty dirt road and forced her to collide with the dog at high speed. The miracle is not only did she not die but took her battered body back up to its feet and carried her unhurt but petrified young passenger until a passing vehicle picked them up. (The reason this child who was on the back was unscathed is that she landed full force on top of Kriss-z). Within two months Kriss-z was sucking up the pain and working out new singing/dancing routines with the other girl's. In the time since the inception of the Dolls, they have collectively worked in Vegas (Treasure Island, Gold Coast) Casinos in Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sacramento, as well as having made appearances on shows for the ABS CBN television network. The group performed, including Patricia Javier, earlier in the year for the opening of Island Pacific markets. Patricia did a duet with World Champion prize fighter; Manny Pacquiao. Perhaps the most interesting engagement to date was Guantanamo Bay; at the request of the United States government. In order to be allowed entrance they had to pass many levels of security checks. Then after receiving top clearance they were transported to and from the performance in military planes and vehicles.
Currently the Dolls are highly involved in using stage illusions within their sets. You never know when someone will disappear, mysteriously change places, levitate or materialize while the girls are putting forth their special brand of song and dance. Illusionist Mark Paskell has worked with and for many celebrities and now has become a full time Doll. Make no mistake; Asian Dolls still means pretty, talented girls, but now a mysterious and entertaining shadowy figure lurks around the stage occasionally causing visual miracles for the audience. The other distinctive thing about Asian Dolls is their rapport with audiences. A great deal of time is spent mixing off stage with those in attendance. Not only do they sing off of the stage but also regularly drag people watching the show up onto it. It is a show that everyone walks away feeling they have made new friends and witnessed a 150% percent effort from the performers.
Bios for the Asian Dolls:
Leilani is the Dancin' Doll of the group. She has appeared on Univision, Telemundo, MYX TV, KTLA, and MTV. Leilani has worked as an entertainment and fashion industry corporate professional for the last seven years. She is also director of the Groovaholixs, a successful dance crew. This Princess is the sexy smiling Dancin' Doll with all the right moves.
Jamie is the Do-it-all Doll, who plays flute, keyboards, drums and guitar. Her talents extend from one end of the spectrum to the other. She is a master of ceremonies in LA's number one Filipino Town club. This Do-it-all Doll sings, dances, and is the practical joker of the group. Her Computer Science degree takes a back seat to her God given winning personality and entertaining skills.
Rizzy is the Shop-'till-you-drop Doll. At 12 years old her family moved from the Philippines to Chicago. After graduating school a year early she took her fashion design skills to Los Angeles. Her first week in LA, Jamie came into her life. Before she knew what was happening Rizzy began singing in a band with her new best friend and co-hosting in Los Angeles nightclubs. Her voice has a distinctive quality that adds a rare ingredient to every song the Asian Dolls cook up together.
Kriss-Z Ramos is the Dazzlin' Doll. Her performances on stage are bigger than life. She is simply magical on stage. By the time Kriss-Z was 10 she had won every local singing contest in her area of the Philippines. In college she hooked up with the legendary dance crew Summer Breakers. They were featured professional performers everywhere they went. After finishing school, her talent as a vocalist in Manila paid the bills for a few years, then Kriss-Z moved to LA. Since that time she has done concerts with, Nora Auror, Bernardo Brenardo, Jo Awayan, Leonardo Obal, Patricia Javier and many other notable Filipino entertainers.
When Patricia stepped down as the leader of The Asian Dolls, Kriss-Z inherited the honor. The Dazzlin' Doll will see you at their next performance.
Mark Paskell is the prestidigitator of the Dolls. He supplies magic sparks and mysterious moments. Since turning professional at the ripe old age of 15, Mark has made his mark with many high profile figures and organizations in the entertainment industry. The list includes Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Steven Spielberg, Kenny Rogers, and both ABC and NBC television networks. He takes personal pride in having co-directed Project Magic, a charitable hospital therapy program which was created by the distinguished magi David Copperfield. Mark has performed and lived in many Asian locations such as China, Japan and Hong Kong. His passion for creating magic for the Asian Dolls has brought the group's performance to new heights, and his ceaseless array of gags and tricks always keeps the girls giggling and guessing. When the conjuror of the Dolls does his magical deeds, things are never dull.
