Rise Artists Studio

A few weeks after revealing De Lana would be joining the cast of Four Sisters Before the Wedding, a prequel to the 2013 movie Four Sisters and a Wedding, Rise Artists Studio, an artist management division of Star Magic, announced that it was welcoming De Lana as a new member. On a special edition of 'We Rise Together', on December 2, 2020, De Lana was welcomed by other members of Rise.^[8]

In a press conference, De Lana was asked about how she was discovered by Rise. She replied,

I was discovered by Rise through Ma'am Charo, she was the one who discovered me. She saw one of my videos where I sang 'We've Only Just Begun', where I was in a green dress. I wasn't expecting to be added [as a member of Rise]. Then, that was it. After that, Ma'am JD called, Sir Mico called, so that was how it started^[9]

When she was asked about using a screen name in place of her real name, she said,

Yes, the management [decided on the name change]. But, the agreement was with both sides, so we decided to change the name.

Since joining Rise, De Lana has taken part in some episodes of WRT as a co-host.
