Mango Mabini
i am a one man band. not really a band but someone who loves to experiment with music. i play guitar (strumming) and i am a novice songwriter (just for fun, nothing serious, nothing competitive).
i love hearing myself on record. that is why i encourage everyone who would like to work with me to contact me.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
i have been influenced by the beatles to play the guitar. i took up guitar when i was 15 years old and learned the basic chords. i did not progress further from strumming because i did not have the patience nor the teacher to help me learn picking and soloing (note-reading and scales, too)
i like singing along to songs and putting my vocals over a song's instrumental track.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I have played live during amateur open mic at our campus pub. i have also played live at a wedding, wedding anniversary and a birthday celebration.
Your musical influences
the beatles. eraserheads, rivermaya, parokya ni edgar, yano.
i strum most of their songs.
What equipment do you use?
acoustic guitar. sometimes electric if available.
i record myself using a microphone, a computer and a recording software.
Anything else?
let's have fun with this one
