  Short Summary Hi! My name is DorothyAnne. I’m a Filipina singer/songwriter based in the Dallas, Texas area. I’m married with 4 children and 1 on the way. I grew up singing in church, listening to the radio and watching music videos. For as long as I can remember I have aspired to become a professional recording artist.  Over the years I’ve discovered that one of my greatest passions in life is writing songs.
