Such competition is the only religious songwriting contest in the Philippines. Also, such country has 95% Christians of more than 70 million population.
* He is one of the fastest songwriters alive! He can write "3 songs per day" and to refresh your memory, Lennon-McCartney wrote "a song per day" at their prime.
*Member of the amazing Wildwood Trade Winds who plays music every summer in Wildwood, NJ.
* Performs his original songs at Border's Cafe in Mays Landing in NJ, together with the Garden State singer-songwriters.
* Performed during the 100th anniversary of "Atlantic City". He wrote tribute songs for the city and the famous boardwalk.
* Former member of "Perlas Ng Silangan" (Pearl of the Orient).
* Performs during parties and in nursing homes.
* Nominated as one of the top Indie singer-songwriters in the world.
His unique vocals and music styles include folk, rock, rock 'n roll, country, reggae, calypso, gospel, inspirational, tribal/ethnic and etc.
He coined the music category called "Alterna-ethnic music" which is a tag of war between ethnic-cultural and alternative music.
Some say that only handful of artists have unique styles which stand out... and pretty sure, he's one of them.
The logics are... if you go to a school of classical music, the world expects the students to be future conductors or members of orchestra. If you go to a vocal school, the world expects the students to be powerful and trained vocalists. If you go to a school which teaches songwriting, the world expects the students to be great songwriters. If you go to the school which teaches musical instruments, the world expects the students to be great guitarists, keyboardists, pianists, drummers and etc. Those are expected outcomes...
... But EDDIE FLORANO didn't go to any of those schools. He calls it a way of life... just like B.B. King. Those are the reasons why Eddie Florano and B.B. King are different from others musicwise. They call it "gifts" than "skills".
Sometimes, you have to pay attention to the unusual stuffs... like, for example, a hermit who can fix a supercomputer or something:) ... or a young and uneducated man who can break the genetic code or something:) …or a young guy who solves mathematical problems without even following the mathematical rules and theorem:)
Plus, his songwriting abilities range from parable-like lyrics of Bob Dylan to the "party with lobster, shrimp and Margarita" kind of tunes like Jimmy Buffet's.
You can always find great musicians… but you cannot always find unique ones.
