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.

SOULSEARCH
Here’s a song that I penned for my beloved Music. It also applies to you if you have a certain someone special :)

SOULSEARCH
I
It’s time to let go of the past
Change things for the better and make it last
I’m brutally true when I say
I’m not the same girl I’ve changed my ways
Sometimes I can be hard to deal with
Not good at hiding the way I’m feelin’
Oh I’ve been under a lot of stress
I don’t handle it all that well I guess
Can’t you see? I’m going to be here to the very end
Oh listen to me when I say
CHORUS
Baby, Let me be the one to hold you
I will always be here for you
Cos I’ve been doin some soulsearching
Now I know, all I need is you!
II
Some people like trippin out on me
They don’t like my personality
Not willing to open their eyes and see
Outside their warped reality
And that’s why baby I treasure you
No one understands me like you do
When everything is said and done
You and I will always be one.
