MANUELA - CIRCLING NUMBERS (BalconyTV)
- 5 years ago
PRESENTED BY CHERYL
Being half Kenyan and Swiss and having lived on three different continents and in four different countries with multiple self-released EP's, Manuela is now calling Edmonton, Alberta, Canada home - at least for now. In February 2010 she released her first full-length album "A Different Kind of Fire," her own Independent label, Golden Recordings and followed this release with a Western Canadian tour to the 2010 Winter Olympics.
With the support of Alberta Music, Urban Music Association Canada, CBC Radio, CKUA, CJSR and Ourstage.com, Manuela is broadening her fan base one song at a time. After almost 15,000 plays on Ourstage.com her single "Circling Numbers" was voted on by thousands of listeners and placed Manuela fourth, regionally, in the recent Ourstage.com Lilith Fair Contest, in which Sarah McLachlan and her team reviewed each of the Top twenty ranked entries. Manuela is also emerging out to be one of the top Pop artists on Ourstage.com having spent 17 weeks on the BEST OF POP chart, peaking at number 15 and falling back to as low as number 30. Her single "Circling Numbers" is also included in the 2010/2011 Alberta Music Sampler which will be distributed at some of the industry's major music festivals, including Canadian Music Week, North by Northeast (NXNE), South by Southwest (SXSW), 2010 BreakOut West Conference, and the Juno's.
Her sweet acoustic fusion of pop, jazz and soul soars on the wings of her wander-lust. Kenyan and Swiss, Manuela's heritage anchors her lyrics in love, dreams and freedom. Manuela's control of her beautiful voice is a new kind of fire that burns deep.
