Since 2020, Felise Morales and Chris Tuazon, better known as “The Filo Duo,” have been creating a soulful blend of music rooted in their Filipino heritage.


KEY POINTS
  • Their paths first crossed on the set of a mini-series pilot, where Felise, an actress and also a nurse by profession, found herself collaborating with Chris, a talented sound engineer and music composer. They quickly bonded over their shared Filipino roots and mutual love for music, setting the stage for what would become a vibrant musical partnership.
  • They perform both classic and contemporary Original Pilipino Music (OPM) bringing a taste of home to the Filipino community in Melbourne and introduce Filipino music to a broader audience.
  • While both grew up in Australia, Felise shares that singing a Filipino song is easier than speaking the Filipino language.
