Shanaia Gomez learned one thing during the pandemic: to never give up. After a stint in Idol Philippines last 2019, she went back to Canada. But Team Rise saw potential in her, and off she went back, repacked her bags and flew to Manila with renewed hope for her career– now as a multiplatform artist. Because of her charming look, Shanaia appeared to the music video of Sam Conception’s newest single “Diwata”. She also did an exposure to DonBelle’s trending series “He’s Into Her” as Dominique.

Shanaia is a natural on talk shows– quickly, she gained loyal viewers on her live streams, she is now part of the millionaires’ row on Kumu. She continues to create content on her Tiktok with her following increasing– and fast. As she continues to hone her acting skills under the training program of Rise, she is also being prepped to be a frontliner in the non-narrative array of content for TFC.
