Chilani

I was born and raised in Germany by a German mother but have been always very close to my Indonesian/Chinese father and my roots and I am glad to be living in Singapore

I started songwriting since I started my professional carrier as a trained dancer as it helped me to process my fears and work on my lack of self-confidence. I used a 4track tape recorder and later a 8track digital recorder to record my ideas. I later picked up the guitar and learned 2 chords. I was fascinated by the inspiration the guitar gave me, so I made a deal with myself: Whenever I would meet a guitar player I would ask him to show me a new chord and while practicing that new chord I would write a new song. I always found writing lyrics very hard and still do, but with a little self-discipline and by envisioning myself as an accomplished artist I stay on track. Performing my own songs especially with my ex girl band “The Wicked Puppies” was a lot of fun and helped me grow

The last 3 years have been very exciting for me. I moved to London where I started an Introduction to Music Production course at Point Blank and finally moved to Singapore. The Production course fascinated me so much that I decided to do the full Audio Engineer Diploma here in Singapore at the SAE where I learned Audio as well Film and Video

S.I.M.P.L.E.  is my first album I have produced by myself. My lyrics are not that difficult to understand and I write about things that I love or things that bother me. Not only the lyrics but also the production is simple cause I produced all songs at home on my Laptop using the software Logic, a mini keyboard, a little interface and a condenser microphone.
