The Flo Manifesto
I'm a singer and songwriter from Melbourne, Australia. I LOVE Music!!! I perform with my soul/funk concoction and we call ourselves "Florelie & the Backlash Brew". We are crazy about Soul, Funk music by the legends Nina Simone, James Brown, Aretha, Stevie just to name a few.
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.

Ted Williams is a man with a golden voice. He is a confessed alcoholic/crackhead who has apparently kicked off the habit. He was a radio announcer who lost everything since hard drugs took over his life. His family was ashamed of him since he was in and out of prison for petty crimes as well as fraud etc. Then one day, a reporter found him and uploaded the footage he took on Youtube. The video is the epitome of a viral video. It had about over 8million views on the first day!
From there, he’s been offered numerous jobs as a voiceover artist. He really does have a phenomenal voice and it’s quite evident that his training really helped his natural talent.
I’m going to look out for the progress of this man and see if he goes off the rails again. In his interview with Ann Curry on the Today Show, he seemed completely overwhelmed by the attention he is getting… too much too quickly. That must have a psychological impact and the people who are offering him excellent jobs should also provide him with counselling to keep him down on the ground, and get him out of cloud 9 asap.
