The Flo Manifesto
I'm a singer, songwriter and vocal coach from Melbourne, Australia. I LOVE Music!!! I am crazy about Soul, Funk music by the legends Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha, Stevie just to name a few.
I remind myself everyday to enjoy life as it were my last days. I want to turn my dreams into reality - such as traveling to Europe in style with Wayne and making loads of awesome songs of any genre I'm feelin at any given time. I also love food!
I was born in Manila's worst area, Tondo, and I believe that this is why I can be pretty fierce when put in a situation. We moved to Melbourne in 88 which has actually toned me down a bit. This city is practically heaven compared to Tondo. The day we arrived, I instantly felt at home.

My family has always been private about our time spent together. It was our way of keeping one thing that was ours, with a man we shared with an entire world. But now that’s gone, and I feel stripped bare. My last day with him was his birthday, and I will be forever grateful that my brothers and I got to spend that time alone with him, sharing gifts and laughter. He was always warm, even in his darkest moments. While I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay, there’s minor comfort in knowing our grief and loss, in some small way, is shared with millions. It doesn’t help the pain, but at least it’s a burden countless others now know we carry, and so many have offered to help lighten the load. Thank you for that.
To those he touched who are sending kind words, know that one of his favorite things in the world was to make you all laugh. As for those who are sending negativity, know that some small, giggling part of him is sending a flock of pigeons to your house to poop on your car. Right after you’ve had it washed. After all, he loved to laugh too…
Dad was, is and always will be one of the kindest, most generous, gentlest souls I’ve ever known, and while there are few things I know for certain right now, one of them is that not just my world, but the entire world is forever a little darker, less colorful and less full of laughter in his absence. We’ll just have to work twice as hard to fill it back up again.
My only statement. My brothers’ are also online. Thank you for all your kindness, and goodbye for awhile guys. xo (via zeldawilliams)

"...lung cancer patients who sang in a choir had a greater expiratory capacity than those who didn’t. Singing has also been shown to boost our immune system, reduce stress levels and, according to a report published in the Journal of Music Therapy in 2004, help patients cope with chronic pain."

"Moody Blues" was used in a new UK Comedy called "Drifters". This is the very first time that my song appears on TV so I'm sure you can imagine the excitement! Thanks to LOTEK for hooking this up and for producing this track with me.

Hi there! I hope you truly enjoy the songs in this set! Please help me fund my music by purchasing my releases on Vinyl and CD here:
http://florelie.bandcamp.com
I have so much more music that I'd like to record but I've been financing my music for a few years now and things go really slowly when you do things on your own. I do have heaps of other tunes that I'd like to record and release for you all to enjoy! x
