MANILA, PHILIPPINES — OPM icon, actor, and LGBTQIA+ trailblazer Ice Seguerra enters a powerful new chapter with the launch of BEING ICE — his first all-original studio album — and a two-night concert memoir, BEING ICE: LIVE, happening this September 12 -13 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater.
The twin launch was officially unveiled at a grand media conference on July 31 at Noctos Music Bar, co-presented with Star Music, the album’s official distributor. Guests and media were moved to tears as Ice performed the emotional ballad “Nandiyan Ka,” a tribute to his late father.
“He always took a backseat just to make sure Mama could take care of me,” Ice shared. “Siya yung nagdadala ng gamit ko. Siya yung nagbebenta ng CDs ko sa mga ka-office mate niya. Ang sakit lang na na-realize ko ‘to nung may sakit na siya.”
“This song is my way of saying thank you. While I carry regrets… I’m still grateful. Because even if I didn’t always see it—nandiyan ka. And I know he still is.”
ABOUT THE ALBUM: BEING ICE
Ten years in the making, BEING ICE is a raw, genre-fluid, and soul-baring collection of eight original tracks that chart Ice’s journey through depression, grief, self-love, long-distance devotion, parental legacy, and queer joy.
This is the first time Ice releases music under his full name, Ice Seguerra — a symbolic and emotional milestone of full authorship and identity. It is also the first album released under his own label, Fire and Ice Music, and his first original studio release in over a decade (following 2015’s Araw Gabi with Ryan Cayabyab).
From the haunting vulnerability of “Anino”, to the sweet ache of “Wag Na Lang Pala”, to the soul-drenched finality of “Natapos Ang Lahat”, each track is a confessional — deeply personal and undeniably universal.
Produced by Ice alongside wife and creative partner Liza Diño, the album features top collaborators Jonathan Manalo, Top Suzara, Mike Villegas, Vince de Jesus, and Trisha Denise.

BEING ICE: LIVE – THE CONCERT EXPERIENCE
SEPTEMBER 12–13 | NEWPORT PERFORMING ARTS THEATER
TWO NIGHTS. TWO STORIES. ONE ICE.
BEING ICE: LIVE isn’t just a concert — it’s Ice Seguerra’s most personal and ambitious live production to date. Combining live storytelling, documentary visuals, and music that spans four decades, this two-night event celebrates both Ice’s cultural legacy and personal rebirth.
“I’ve sung songs that defined others. Now, I’m finally singing the ones that define me.” – Ice Seguerra
SEPT 12 – ICE SEGUERRA: VIDEOKE HITS
The beloved fan-favorite concert returns. A full-blown celebration of OPM classics, hugot anthems, and videoke staples — from “Pagdating ng Panahon” to “Tuwing Umuulan” to a Kitchie Nadal medley. A night of nostalgia, singalongs, and barkada joy.
SEPT 13 – THE ICE SEGUERRA EXPERIENCE
An emotional, full-spectrum concert memoir built on the Being Ice album. This is the story Ice has never told—until now. Backed by a 12-piece band, the performance blends soulful ballads, rock confessionals, jazz textures, and pop reflections into a powerful sonic journey. From stripped-down vulnerability to genre-bending arrangements, this is not just acoustic storytelling—it’s Ice in full creative command, revisiting his roots, honoring his influences, and reclaiming his truth through sound.
SPECIAL GUESTS
The twin-night concert will feature Gary Valenciano and Vic Sotto as very special guests — two of Ice’s most influential mentors and father figueres in both music and showbiz.
Their presence brings emotional resonance to the event, symbolizing a full-circle moment in Ice’s journey from child star to fully realized artist, sharing the stage now with the very icons who helped shape his path.
