About Me

Hello,Thank you for the visit, and the opportunity you’ve given me to listen to some of my work.My name is Anita Kaliwo and I’m 22 years old. Music has always been a part of my life and I’ve been working on my craft since the day I decided to make it my profession (that was 12 years ago).Twelve years I spent perfecting my voice, my lyrics and my stage performance. I enrolled in 2003 in a music school in Paris, where I spent two years with different vocal coaches learning how to master my voice, and opening myself to other styles of music (rock, jazz and blues in particular). I was able to meet different people there, with whom a band was created, it was an incredible experience to sing live with real musicians and to show what we were made of to an audience we had to win over.The group quickly disbanded as each member had different opinions about where the band should be heading.I knew what kind of music I wanted to make, but as I’m not a musician I knew that it would be hard for me to but into notes the melody,I had created in my head. Eventually I started composing with the help of a musical program, that’s how "Mother Nature" and "Blue Bubble" were born. The melody was in my head for some time, then i tried to transcribe it into real music, and finally with the small part of music I had created, I started to work on the lyrics. I was proud of my work but knew that it wasn’t as good as the music I originally had in my head. That’s when Sebastien (the guitarist of my previous band) asked me to join him to create a musical duo, I happily accepted and we decided to start off by playing covers of our favorite artists. When people started asking if we had any original songs, I thought about taking my music out of the attic it had been maturing in. We gave our creativity a try and incorporated some of our creations to our act.There are four songs on this profile. The lyrics have all been written by me, and every single voice you hear is mine, I also created the music of blue bubble with a musical program on my computer. Sebastien composed the music and arranged the music of the three other songs (note that "Baby" is a music cover of "Aishite Nite" (a japanese manga) and that I rewrote the lyrics for the occasion).All the songs have different styles; I wanted to show my versatility, I love all kinds of music and would love to be able to make songs that express that.Take a seat, relax, and simply enjoy my thoughts about love, deception and nature expressed through the purest manner there will ever be: music.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/3/2008
Band Members: Anita Kaliwo
Influences: Many influences too many to put here, but let’s say that I grew up with a father deeply in love with all kinds of music, and he was my number one influence actually.He opened my spirit to all kinds of music I remember listening to Madonna and Micheal Jackson as a toddler, and my father drove us to school with Sade and Paul Young’s "Everytime you go away".Then came the 90’s and all it’s crazy stuff, Dance music was really en vogue at that time , so in the playground all the kids used to bop their heads to that (you know "I like to move it move it....whatever "it" was supposed to be), and then I came home and Mariah Carey was on or Celine, or you had french music on Tv. My dolce childhood came to an end with the boyband era (I know, i know...A cure has been found to the infection since then), the Backstreet boys and the Spice Girls died when Monica and Brandy started fighting over the boy. I got my groove back and ended up listening to loads of RnB and Soul music, that got me wondering about Rap. Eminem was on full blast when I started getting rebellious, but was chased away by Linkin Park. I turned to pop rock and rock when I needed more depth in Highschool, "Let the sun go down" by Kim Richey was my anthem then and I ended up idolizing Phil Collins and George Michael, they got blown away with Nirvana and their mtv’s unplugged. At the same time I started hitting the clubs and became a total dancehall addict, but the riddims nearly all sounded the same and House music stole my heart. Rune’s Calabria drove me insane...till the Jazz and the Hard Rock music student’s played at my school brought me back to earth. I was petrified on stage when Metallica told me to let the sandman enter.And finally wooed the audience with Keziah Jones and his rythm is love.All this to say that music has been (and still is) a wonderful journey to me, I enjoyed every single step of it, and still am searching for what my ears haven’t experienced yet.
Sounds Like: Sounds like a tasty milkshake=a mix of lots of sounds but still is very different, and Unique. Lyrics are meaningful, impactful and clever.Vocals are smooth, edgy and blend with the music perfectly.
Record Label: Unsigned
Type of Label: None
