Strawberry Milk Cold (The Pink One)

Here's my new song for 2015, an early wedding anniversary gift for my wife. She's my inspiration in making music.

The story behind this song is that when my little boy was a bit younger, he often asks for milk at night but the way he's saying it is so funny. He said "Can I have a strawberry milk cold, the pink one?" And each time, he goes to sleep when he got it.

So, I decided to make him a song. It took me a long time to finish the song. Did a backing track and even shared it to one of my good friend who's a drummer to collaborate with the song. Initially the plan is a funky jazz song. It didn't work out. So the backing track was stuck for quite a while.

Then, I bought an electro-acoustic and I thought it would be a nice instrumental for the song. Tried it but it didn't work out as well, although it gave me some nice ideas to finish the song.

One evening, I stayed late and did some experimental effects on the song and just keep doing it until almost or past midnight, and song was done. I immediately messaged my sister and asked her if she can make an album art cover for this song, which she did. I love the album art, it is so cute.

Another good thing that happened with this song is that I was about to send the song to a recording studio for mixing and mastering but due to lack of budget and so I googled some keywords about mastering songs, making it louder, etc. and it gave me a link on YouTube, and that's it. My lightbulb moment.

So as a way of thank you to all who supported me, and most especially to ArtistSignal, I am giving away this song for free. Just visit ArtistSignal and all you need to do is log in using your facebook account and one vote, then download this very relaxing and erotic song for free.

Again thank you so much!

My Mobile Recording Studio

My mobile laptop recording studio This does not mean having a portable handheld recording device and also this is not the proper recording studio, which have all the complete amenities and gear but what I mean when I say Mobile recording studio is that this is something that can be transferred to any location and set up as quickly as you can. Like for example, in my case, I don’t have a proper recording studio or room to record so sometimes I’m doing it in our lounge or other times I will set it up in our dining area or sometimes in our bedroom. Also by saying mobile recording studio, in any case I’m moving to another place I can easily pack up things and bring it with me like for example I’m here in England as of now and if ever I’m going back home in the Philippines after my contract expires, I can easily bring my recording studio gear and equipment back home. So, this is not an on-site recording studio or a portable recording studio this is just my own mobile l...

One Love for Abra Charity Concert at The Star of Kings London

Had a wonderful time doing a charity gig for Abra, an island back home in the Philippines where children there are too eager to learn, however, they don't have a proper or decent school to study and no school supplies. The project was very successful. Port Mallilin and Carol Panday invited artists from Pilipino Musikero sa UK and loads pledged their support. Also among the acts were Arisxandra Libantino, the pride of Filipinos in Britain who was one of the finalists. I am the guitarist of Crossedwind and we are dubbed as the House Band during the gig. We opened the event and then we were the closing act. It was a fun night. There were some challenges though. Like for example, although myself and Ashley (sound director) were early to set up the amps and instruments, the pub's sound guy didn't like that we brought guitar, bass, and keyboard amps because it's going to be too loud. He just want us to use their monitor speakers and house spea...

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas. During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts. We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs. We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...
