Manila Electronica is a collection of electronic music I've written over the years that spans my 10 year career as an electronic music producer. I'd like to call it a "best of" or "greatest hits" but it is not enough to call it as such. It not just chronicles the music that I have created over the years but also the sounds and styles that have come and gone in the electronic music world as well.

The Fonzi and Friends FlipFlop Tours is a celebration of the music scene of Filipinos in all areas in the country. It gives the chance for local artists from far-flung provinces to be seen and heard because this time, the concert is coming to them!

WHO IS JULIANNE? A captivating, critically-acclaimed, exquisite singer-songwriter from the Philippines, Julianne has effortlessly drawn audiences in through the sheer hypnosis of her soulful phrasing and the unadulterated pleasure that is her voice, stretching vowels artistically, with a focused stillness. Julianne’s music is a wonderful blend of technical artistry and melodic accessibility that provides an alluring invitation to stay and dwell a little longer in a musical atmosphere that’s uniquely hers: piercing, soothing and authentic. Factor in her solid guitar playing, oozing with jazz tones, an element of folk, and a slight hint of acoustic pop – you have the makings of an artist preordained for world-wide success. Born and raised in the Philippines, Julianne began singing at the age of 3. Her parents being musicians themselves ensured that her childhood was filled with wonderful music. Her earliest influences include the Beatles, the Carpenters and church songs. As she grew older, Julianne’s artistry on guitar grew as well. Today she is one of the most prolific guitarists in the Philippines, able to create melodies and harmonies that speak volumes of where she is, where she is going and where she has been. She has performed with world-class artists such as Gary Valenciano, Rivermaya, Hillsong and Grammy-winner Colbie Callait. Julianne has also sung on the international stage, performing in Japan, Singapore, and Indonesia and has worked with Disney for the Asia release of Camp Rock’s “This is Me”. Julianne is also an advocate for children, involving herself in causes for education, protection from child abuse and trafficking as evidenced by her work with Republikha.org and Tahanan Sta. Luisa, a home for young girls. Julianne continues on with her musical journey with a new look, a new sound and a fresh collection of songs that speak truth, hope, inspiration and love. This is Julianne.

Veronica is an actress acclaimed abroad for an international film she did a few years ago. However, her life back home is not exactly lustrous as she struggles to keep up with the competition from younger and more famous actresses. Film offers have become few to none. She cannot believe she has to endure once again the same hardship she experienced when she was just starting. In principles, she maintains that she no longer the “struggling actress” she once was who could just take any role. “Im not just for cameos anymore, Im way past that stage,” she insists. She is always gunning for the lead. However, reality slaps her everytime when the roles she so aspired and brilliantly auditioned for do not fall into her lap in the end. She maintains that although she needs to strive hard to get more acting work to get back on track and redeem her loved ones, she wants even more to prove to everyone in the business that she has more talents in her that she could offer against the odds of the ridiculous commercial standard of local film industry. Veronica says there isnt any other job she can do. Acting is the only profession she knows she is good at, and that her high art is her only fortune. She always reflects that acting makes her happy despite her sorry existence. This is where she escapes from them all.
