"Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. ~Charlie Parker"
"Mestiza" comes from the Spanish word to define females born of mixed heritage...
Born to a Filipino mother and English father Mestiza was raised in the UK with fostered children from places as diverse as Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Algeria. You can hear the cross cultural influence in Mestiza's music as she fuses genre's together, from vintage soul, Jazz & funk, to latin & hip-hop.
At just 23 years old Mestiza has impressive list of live performances ranging from Glastonbury (UK), VUDU (Philippines), Splash festival (Germany), Roskilde (Denmark), Hip-Hop Kemp (Czech republic) & the legendary London venues KOKO's & the Jazz cafe (to name a few). She collaborates live with one of the coolest ladies in hip-hop 'Yarah bravo' (Oneself/ Ninja tune) and is a member of the collective 'The Latin Dub Sound system' founded, which also feature artists such as Rodney P, Benjamin Zephaniah, Yungun & Million Dan.
Currently based in Dubai she has quickly begun to make a name for herself on both the hip-hop, house & live music scene, performing at some of the best clubs and bars in town with her live band and alongside DJs. Now working with UK heavyweight producer Colin Emmanuel (Estelle/Jamelia/ Beverley Knight) & Swiss producer/ DJ Frederick Stone ... stay tuned for more ;)
"Blue sky paint and it's warm inside Who cares if it storms out Why When we've got comfort tea and a jacuzzi Plus I feel like studying anatomy Come touch my heart flutter
She said
We've got each other And a makeshift bed What could be better Than being together in agreement Add Sometimes we need it Subtract Ruts hold us back Times It's really great for our minds
Let's take a personal day No need to hear the phones ring Disappear from the scene It'll hold it's own
Think
The pay off of taking a day off could be immense Not to mention the pleasure can be intense I promise to supply the suspense In amounts that you'll recall When you need to remember a thriller
Besides We've got
Blue sky paint and it's warm inside Who cares if it storms out Why When we've got comfort tea and a jacuzzi Plus I feel like studying anatomy...,"
"Consistency in Love isn't good enough for her She gets better every day And I get more humbled in many ways I am changing just being exposed to her As an artist I find myself thinking a lot Looking deeply into things I'm still surprised at what she's got Her depth is amazing I see no end Insight She says "Find yourself 1st Then you'll see others light Right"
Honesty in conversation isn't real enough for her She'll ask you why you choose your words It's always deep the thought of her Is a reminder Of the stages I've gone through to find That there is no one in front or behind her In that place that we go Two Fill up the entire room
Distance doesn't exist When it comes to us My friends see it in my face I am always with her And their thoughts of separating us have all but died I can feel it when they say "Maybe we'll see you around some times?"
Maybe consistency in Love is a state of mind That pushes things that oppose it aside If that's so I may have never really been in Love before Her Because consistency Was a stranger To me Before us"
They don't follow the fashion Latest trend, no reaction State of the world's affairs Seem indifferent, but really care Self-reliance what its all about Don't need it, you do without In the balance of the universe Doesn't matter could be worse ....."Exceptionally Cool".....
When I'm bored Walking with you Feels like the thing to do When I need more Talking Brings about a Reversal of blues
About us I don't doubt us In this world where things go bust Every "Hopes Up Day"
We wear so many shoes We've forgotten how to lose Track of The things that our dreams Sing feeling good about You and me Our thing We stiff being board Knock Woulda', Coulda', and Shoulda' When they ask Do you know doubt?
We build our lives with love And it shows us around The loose ends Of false hopes And time consuming false Friends
So..., When I'm bored Walking with you Feels like the thing to do When I need more Talking Brings about a Reversal of blues
"Sometimes I see myself as a clown Who's learned to fall up instead of down Some say that I'm optimistic and glad Although I've been through enough tragedy to stay mad After being tossed into hell's plans Again and again My hearts refused to not find it's way back So it's hard for me to look at you and not react I feel the need to do What I feel the need to do So,I'm creating Love Glue To help it stick to you too During hard times I'm Trying to fit the formula into rhymes keep the price down make it fun to pass round And almost impossible to put down This Might take some time But I'm working on it Like a glad scientist who knows How deep some holes can go Tragedy to me Is like a big gorilla that wants to play And won't take no for an answer It'll jump all over us So we need to be quick on our clever feet Least it get a good grip That lasts longer than we can endure Sincerity helps so I'll put in plenty of that Add a lot of love, and Laughs One big batch of that, while I'm at it Let's throw away these tired worn out cliches Never was to fond of them anyway Humm, this might take a while So I guess you'd best keep doing what you've got to do While I keep working on this, Love Glue Because I really feel I need to Like a glad scientist who knows How deep some holes can go"
And I like you just the way you are ..., And A harp The way I saw you When you walked though that door
Before you started thinking That good things don't last Very long
Before you started shrinking Because of things that have happened in your past
Let them pass
So you can stop repeating Placing your own traps We're just sharing a laugh While the drums are beating And if we want to dance Some moves are worth repeating Under different Circumstances
So if you'll leave me a loan
Just a little smile from your heart I will show you A love worth seeking And that some things really are Better than they appear to be Just leave me a loan A little hint of your thoughts And I will Show you How much more fun your life can be
Then you'll know..., You're sweeter than a harp And I like you just the way you are And A harp The way I saw you When you walked though that door
From the "Gang City Blues" Poem and Song Collection
The day people started demanding one thing Facts Before we act Or react Facts The people demanded
The deceivers' apprentices had none to hand them So again sought To pull the string of the people's emotions By flooding their thoughts With a river of well conceived lies Only to become surprised
The people had grown Too wise for their lies No longer gullible puppets They refused and flooded them back With deep probing questions The liars could not answer
The people soon lived in harmony once more Free from the source of their mind cancer
To make a long story short That is why you've never heard of the ancient teaching Scroll called
The Art Of Facts
It was also known as a great protector of spiritual harmony" Said King Lots before returning to his meditative state
"If only the truth can make them free Why are they living in such great misery?"
