Again... I'm Ann Badere-Santos (AnnBS), a self-learned producer and musician from Manila who loves to create unique CURLY tracks. I started publishing in 2019. I composed all the music mentioned here, except the few Cover Music, of course. I sing, do the guitars (both lead & rhythm), piano, synth and mixing/mastering. The process, technical experimentation that yields unexpected surprise, is the inspirational knack. Crazy as it sounds, it works! A lot of my indie friends are doing this one-person-production as well.
I also work with others, just find them in the credits below. Find the archive that you might relate with. Thank you!
Mica China ( \'Mē-ka 'Chē-na\ ) a.k.a Nixanne is the vocalist on four (4) of my songs here, as indicated. She is pursuing a Conservatory of Music (Major in Piano Performance and Minor in Voice).
My song called "Cool Fool" was mixed and mastered by Justin (JS) Resontoc. He is passionate with his craft that he enhanced and even added some synth and guitar parts, apart from my rhythm guitars.
Still 2024 Version & Song of the Night Owl (Acoustic Piano Solo) was mixed/remastered by Mr. P (who wants to keep his anonymity.)
Albert Barry Dompor sight reads Song of the Night Owl in a video. The transcription of the piano score was done by Mica China.
I have a one-track virtual collab with The Anjo Project c/o Marako Marcus, an indie musician, multi-Instrumentalist & author.

It's brownout when I fret this tune in one rainy, tough college day. The dreary instance coined the lyrics of being aboard on a sailing ship. It drowned while blazing into flames. As the embers submerge, the song resolves with depth.
