I'm a little insomniac with big dreams...!

About Me

***Got real cool collab ideas? HIT ME!!!***
[email protected]
I'm still trying to get my head around the music biz. The biggest thing that slows me down is life getting in the way. I wish I never have to work full-time to cover my expenses in life. I wish I could just travel to any destination whenever I felt like it. Oh well, reality has it that it will not happen... not at least for a while.
So while reality is happening, I have to work my hardest to dedicate my limited attention to the things and the people I love.
Right now, I'm writing songs for my first album. I have a few so far just waiting to be produced. I'm also working with a few local artists (check my Top 12). That's it for now until the tracks become finalised.
I'd like to hear from creative people from all over but most especially musos from Melbourne and nationally - as I'm a strong advocate for local artistic talent! So please drop me a line and say "G'day!!!"P.S. Quantity over quality now so if you wanna add me, you'd be able to cos you've read this far... peace and blessings, Florelie Escano - florelie at yahoo.

Influences:
This is the great Dr. Nina Simone. Her music sends shivers down my spine.

Here's Aretha Franklin in her early years on the piano.. playing "Don't Play That Song".. one of my most favourite songs of all time!

Below is Another Great - Mahalia Jackson. Been listening to her for over a decade now. My world is so different to what hers was but it's the emotions that she easily managed to reflect through her singing that transports me there everytime time I listen to her.

Here are some of the artists that I truly admire just because of their natural talent and sheer determination -

Bob Marley
Mariah Carey
Nina Simone

Lauryn Hill - she's an ultimate human being. Intellectually and Creatively gifted. She's definitely one of the best MC's and singers on this planet - male or female!!!

Aretha Franklin
Michael Jackson
Prince
Stevie Wonder
Bob Dylan
Marvin Gaye
Alicia Keys
Maxwell

I listen to artists and songs rather than genre - if that makes any sense. I am more inclined towards Funk/Soul/R&B but I do listen to some heavy rock as well... I do own tapes of Gunners, Motley Crue and Skid Row and the likes :) Hey, I'd listen to folk music if it touches my heart (lately been listening to some Bob Dylan - he's just great!)

Good to be back home :)

It was a great trip all in all.  Didn't get to go on the net so much as I was too busy soaking it all in.  England is cool in that it's full of history and the countryside is sooo green.&nbs...

England trip - Week 1

It started off really hectic, in the true sense of the word (as opposed to "hectic" as in "mad shit").  I arrived in London Heathrow at 6am, after 2 days of virtually no sleep.  Travelled to...

My Concrete Dream...

Everybody dreams of being "free".  But Freedom presents itself differently to each and everyone of us.  For me, it is to be freed from being enslaved by corporate giants just to make ends me...
