Will you remember me? I will remember you. How do you do? These are the opening lines to my song Places. Before Indonesia, I had little chances to meet new people outside of work or school. Where I’m from in Metro Manila, I don’t get to interact with my neighbors too much because we areContinue reading “Of All The Places To Get Stuck in”

The Pains of Being An Indie Artist
My Summer Music Video is finally out! It’s been one heck of a ride trying to release it. From filming to editing to reshooting the karaoke scene… Then getting told by the colorist I hired that I should reshoot it AGAIN because the lighting was bad*… then having it somehow uploaded before I could evenContinue reading “The Pains of Being An Indie Artist”

Today was a special day. Not only did I announce that I am officially Lili to represent my music, but I woke up feeling inexplicably light for the first time in awhile.

I was mentally reviewing what I’ve written so far here in my blog and I realize that I didn’t even mention the band! Which is a big part of my life, and you might have stumbled upon me because of them (which is great, that you for liking our music!). Well for those who don’tContinue reading “I Have A Band!”
