MANILA, Philippines — Fans of British soul-pop sensation Olivia Dean are in for a vibrant night in Makati as local artists come together to celebrate the singer’s birthday with a tribute event this March.

The “Olivia Dean Birthday Tribute: She’s Seen It All at 27” is happening on March 14 at Electric Sala in Poblacion, Makati, kicking off at 10 p.m. While Dean herself won’t be in attendance, organizers say the event is all about honoring her music, journey, and growing global impact.

Dean, born in London on March 14, 1999, has steadily built a loyal following thanks to her smooth blend of soul, pop, and R&B. Over the past year, her profile has soared internationally, with tracks like “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall in Love)” earning strong streaming numbers and widespread acclaim.

The Manila tribute will feature live performances from local vocalists, drag numbers inspired by Dean’s style and persona, and curated playlists of her biggest songs. Attendees can also look forward to limited freebies and merchandise from UMG Philippines.

Organizers describe the night as both a celebration and a thank-you to the artist whose music has resonated with many Filipino listeners. The event’s title — She’s Seen It All at 27 — reflects Dean’s journey from busking on the streets of London and posting covers online to performing on major stages around the world.

For fans who have followed her rise — and for those just discovering her soulful sound — the March 14 gathering promises to be more than just a party. It’s shaping up to be a heartfelt community celebration of an artist whose music continues to cross borders.
