In a move that blurs the line between family and professional mentorship, 14-year-old performer Alyssa Wong is turning to her older sister Vanessa—a seasoned recording artist and former contestant on La Voz Kids and American Idol—to guide her vocal development as she releases her debut original single. The announcement marks a new chapter for the Miami-based dancer and digital creator, who recently signed with NI Music Group under music executive Eric T. Johnson.
Alyssa Wong, seen here with her older sister Vanessa Wong—a singer and recording artist who now serves as her vocal coach—is entering a phase of artistic growth that blends professional guidance with a lifelong sibling connection.
As Alyssa develops original music, her older sister Vanessa brings experience as a recording artist and vocal coach to the next stage of her artistic growth.

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, October 30, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The collaboration became official just days after Alyssa Wong dropped her debut original single, “Good Enough,” on October 23, released through a direct-to-fan platform built exclusively for her Virtual Besties community. The track fuses her talents in music, dance, performance, and visual storytelling into one cohesive introduction. In a personal blog post, Alyssa opened up about why having her sister as her vocal coach makes this step especially significant.
A SISTERLY BOND ADDS A PERSONAL DIMENSION TO ALYSSA’S VOCAL DEVELOPMENT
For the Wong family, Vanessa’s new role is far more than a professional arrangement—it deepens a connection shaped by years of music, shared milestones, and unwavering mutual support. Long before Alyssa stepped into a recording studio, she watched her older sister chase her own vocal ambitions. At just 14, Vanessa appeared on the fourth season of Telemundo’s La Voz Kids as part of international recording artist Natalia Jiménez’s team, and later competed on ABC’s American Idol. Now Vanessa will channel that firsthand experience into helping Alyssa develop her voice with confidence, care, and authenticity.
“Being part of Alyssa’s journey as her vocal coach is incredibly meaningful to me,” said Vanessa Wong. “I have watched her grow from a little girl who expressed herself through movement into a young artist discovering the power of her own voice. My role is to help her strengthen that voice while protecting everything that makes it uniquely hers. As her sister, I could not be prouder of her courage, discipline, and willingness to grow.”
Alyssa arrives with a strong artistic foundation already in place. Years of dance training, competition, and live performance have taught her to interpret music, communicate emotion through movement, and hold an audience’s attention. Developing as a vocalist will build directly on that base, giving her a fresh medium for storytelling.
“Vanessa has always been someone I admire, not only because of her voice, but because she understands what it takes to grow as an artist,” said Alyssa Wong. “Having my sister beside me during this new chapter makes the experience even more special. I trust her completely. She knows when to challenge me, when to encourage me, and how to help me find the confidence to express what I truly want to say through music.”
Vanessa’s coaching will zero in on vocal technique, artistic interpretation, confidence, and the ability to channel emotion through song. The trust they share as sisters gives Vanessa a deep understanding of Alyssa’s strengths, sensitivities, and creative aspirations.
VANESSA WONG BRINGS RECORDING AND VOCAL COACHING EXPERIENCE TO ALYSSA’S DEVELOPMENT
Vanessa built her own identity as a recording artist and songwriter, releasing original music in both English and Spanish. Her catalog includes tracks such as “Pura Candela,” “Moviéndote Así,” “Aprovecha,” “Buy My Love,” “No Soy de Esas,” “No Quiero Nada,” and “Cuando Te Vas.” She also signed a music publishing agreement with Warner Chappell Music. Today, she works as a vocal coach at Motiv8 Dance Movement (MDM), where her responsibilities also span musical theatre, fitness, social media, and marketing. That breadth of experience gives her a practical understanding of the preparation, discipline, and versatility today’s artists need.
FAMILY SUPPORT SHAPES ALYSSA’S NEXT CHAPTER
Though each sister has carved out her own artistic identity, they share a deep-rooted connection to music and performance. Their collaboration feels like a natural next step in a relationship where they have always pushed each other to follow their individual passions. For their parents, Sergio Wong and Monique Tablada, watching their daughters enter this phase together is both a proud family moment and a significant professional milestone.
“Vanessa and Alyssa have always had a very special relationship, and seeing them enter this chapter together fills me with pride,” said Sergio Wong, their father. “Alyssa is taking an important step toward becoming the artist she wants to be, while Vanessa is bringing the knowledge and perspective she has gained through her own career. They respect one another, they understand the work this requires, and, above all, they genuinely want to see each other succeed.”
Their mother, Monique Tablada, sees the collaboration as a natural continuation of the encouragement the sisters have shared throughout their lives.
“Each of our daughters has her own gifts, personality, and artistic voice,” said Monique Tablada, their mother. “Vanessa has walked her own path through music, and Alyssa has built hers through dance and performance. Watching those paths come together is incredibly emotional for us. Vanessa can guide Alyssa with professional knowledge, but also with the honesty, patience, and love that only a sister can provide.”
Together, the sisters bring distinct but complementary experiences to the table. Alyssa enters music with the discipline, musicality, and expressive abilities she honed through dance. Vanessa contributes the perspective of an artist who has navigated vocal training, television competition, songwriting, recording, music releases, and live performance.
TWO ARTISTIC PATHS COME TOGETHER AT MOTIV8 DANCE MOVEMENT
Motiv8 Dance Movement has long been a cornerstone of the Wong family’s commitment to arts education and young performer development. At MDM, Vanessa helps students strengthen their voices and broaden their skills beyond dance through vocal coaching and musical theatre. Alyssa’s artistic foundation was built through dance training, competition, and performance—experiences that instilled discipline, musicality, and a storytelling instinct through movement. Their collaboration embodies MDM’s broader creative vision, where dance, music, and performance converge to help young artists become more confident and versatile.
For Alyssa, moving into music doesn’t mean leaving dance behind. Her long-term artistic vision includes performances that blend original songs, live vocals, choreography, and visual storytelling. For Vanessa, guiding her sister is a chance to pour her experience as a singer, recording artist, and coach into a relationship rooted in family and shared artistic purpose.
ALYSSA WONG DEVELOPS ORIGINAL MUSIC WITH NI MUSIC GROUP
Alyssa is signed to NI Music Group under the management of music executive and producer Eric T. Johnson, and is now in a structured period of artistic development with the company. Johnson first spotted Alyssa at the Passport to Discovery showcase in Orlando, Florida. Beyond her dance accomplishments, he recognized her ability to translate movement, performance, and audience connection into a broader music career. Under his direction, Alyssa is refining her sound, strengthening her performance abilities, and building an artistic identity that reflects who she is. NI Music Group is taking a long-term approach focused on original music, performance development, audience growth, and a sustainable artistic foundation.
Alyssa is working with a creative team based in Florida and Los Angeles. Her first original single, “Good Enough,” serves as an introduction to her voice and perspective as a recording artist. The song was written collaboratively by Alyssa, Johnson, and songwriter/producer Daniel Jacobson (professionally known as Danny Jay). It explores the pressure to appear perfect and the emotional toll of comparison, especially for young people growing up in the social media era, encouraging listeners to choose passion, authenticity, and personal growth over the chase for perfection.
Recording sessions took place at Plush Recording Studios, with production work involving Studio City Sound. The creative team includes three-time GRAMMY-nominated, Diamond-certified mixing engineer, producer, and songwriter Edwin “Ed The Engineer” Diaz; co-producer Simon Eric; and Mike Johnson, Tom Weir, and Marcus Colbert. The current focus is on creating strong original music, refining Alyssa’s vocal and performance abilities, and establishing an identity distinctly her own. Within that professional structure, Vanessa’s guidance will help connect Alyssa’s foundation as a dancer with the recording artist she is becoming. Additional original material is also in development as Alyssa, Vanessa, Johnson, and the broader creative team continue to define her sound and artistic vision.
For Alyssa and Vanessa, this moment is about more than a new music project. It is the story of two sisters bringing their experiences together, learning from one another, and beginning a professional collaboration rooted in the bond they have shared throughout their lives.
