Bringing a fresh, edgy vibe to mainstream pop and unafraid to boldly speak her mind, 18-year-old vocal powerhouse Manika is set to release her upcoming debut single “Just Can’t Let You Go” this May. Working with some of music industry’s highest caliber management, songwriting and production talent, Manika (pronounced Ma-NEE-ka) was discovered by Frank DiLeo, Michael Jackson’s long-time manager, and television personality and revered vocal performance coach CeCe Sammy (U.K.’s “Pop Idol” ).
“Just Can’t Let You Go,” which Manika debuted live at the 2010 Hollywood Style Awards was written and produced by Tearce Kizzo and Francci (Keyshia Cole, Patti LaBelle, Adina Howard and JoJo). The duo is also working with Manika on numerous other tracks for the artist’s full length forthcoming debut album, alongside such heavy hitters as Qura Rankin and Evan Bogart (Beyonce, Rihanna, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Jennifer Lopez). Manika is also prepping for her debut tour later in 2011 with Travis Payne, best known for working with Michael Jackson as the choreographer for the proposed “This Is It” tour and the associate producer for the subsequent film “This Is It.”
Inspired by such artists as Avril Lavigne, Pink and Alanis Morrisette, Manika is working on modern Top 40 tracks with a rock edge featuring attitude and fiery rock guitars. Says Manika, “I’ve always loved both writing and songwriting,” she adds. “The journey is fascinating to me.
When I watch a live performance back on video, I think about how everything started from a simple emotion, feeling or story I wanted to tell. The next step is to play with song ideas, and then lay down instruments and vocals. Then it all takes shape and suddenly that simple spark has blossomed into something huge and powerful that people can enjoy.”
Manika—whose mixed heritage includes Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Malaysian and Spanish–brings intelligence, wit and tons of emotional life experiences to her songs. Early on, she won the “Outstanding Performance Award” three years straight at the National Performing Arts Festival in New York City. At age 15, she wrote and published The Exciting Adventures of Boo , a fictional children’s book and donated proceeds from the first 750 copies to the Nevada SPCA animal shelter. Manika also participated in writing workshops for children and went to visited children’s hospitals to read it to young cancer patients and their families. These activities are just the beginning of the many philanthropic goals that Manika intends to pursue as her musical career takes off.
“When CeCe was first approached me I told her that I was fully committed to my music and performing career , and that is my passion… to me it’s always been about being an all around creative person. Both live and on studio recordings, there’s nothing more important to me than touching people with my music and connecting with them through the stories I’m privileged to tell.”

She's out of my life - Piano Solo
[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 10:28:08 03/26/11
"She's Out of My Life was written by Tom Bahler after Karen Carpenter broke up with him. This song became famous as the fourth single to be released by singer Michael Jackson from his successful Off the Wall album in 1980. The song has been covered numerous times by many artists including Patti LaBelle, Ginuwine, 98 Degrees, Jon Lee, Barbara Mandrell, Willie Nelson, and Josh Groban. The unforgetable moment in the song occurs near its end when Jackson begins to break down in tears as he sings the word ""life"". This is my tribute to singer Michael Jackson for the amazing legacy he left in the music industry. This was requested by subscriber Julietvillar Lyrics She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life And I Don't Know Whether To Laugh Or Cry I Don't Know Whether To Live Or Die And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life It's Out Of My Hands It's Out Of My Hands To Think For Two Years She Was Here And I Took Her For Granted I Was So Cavalier Now The Way That It Stands She's Out Of My Hands [Bridge] So I've Learned That Love's Not Possession And I've Learned That Love Won't Wait Now I've Learned That Love Needs Expression But I Learned Too Late She's Out Of My Life She's Out Of My Life Damned Indecision And Cursed Pride Kept My Love For Her Locked Deep Inside And It Cuts Like A Knife She's Out Of My Life"

BIO:
Here's my story. I'm sticking to it. So listen up.
I grew up in the deep, deep south where we eat fried catfish and grits and drink sweet tea -- not iced tea, sweetened -- but sweet tea. It is basically one word, split into two for you non-southerners.
My barbie dolls sang musicals, and I sang along with the various pop princesses of the time -- Tiffany, Paula, Janet, Madonna -- dancing around the living room with my friends. I also liked to climb trees, create secret clubs with the neighborhood kids, and sell seashells from the driveway.
Fast forward to 1999: I took my little Yamaha off to college, to the mini-music-mecca of Athens, GA, where I met a friend who helped me form my first band. Terrified and shy and lacking confidence, I played some open mics and my very first full-band shows to responsive crowds. For the very first time in my life, I felt like I knew where my place was in the world. After a couple years, I made my first album and built up a little following.
In the fall of 2004, I sold my stuff at a flea market and headed west. It was the best decision of my life. I started up my own band again - lucking out by finding Mike Stevens and John Howland. It was like reuniting with old friends. We meshed together like peanut butter and jelly and wonderbread. We played around the bay area, as an acoustic trio, eventually landing at Ex'pressions College for Digital Arts to record a demo we could sell at our shows. Here we met Jack Douglas (a producer with an impressive resume, including Aerosmith, John Lennon, Patti Smith, the Who). Seriously. He's even on wikipedia. Jack took an immediate liking to us, and sent us on to local producer Jim Greer, who adopted us like stray kittens. Hungry stray kittens.
After mixing our Expressions demo and getting to know us a bit, Jim decided to sign us to his local label, Fortune Records, and record a real full-length album. He helped transform our little baby songs into grown up songs, and in March of 2008, we had the experience of a lifetime, recording our album "The Night Turned to Song" in Caspar, California - in a studio by the sea. That album led us to be included on the bay area KFOG's Local Scene 5 CD and featured on their morning show, in addition to being played on Americana radio across the U.S. and Europe. We played San Fran's HUGE Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in October '08 and the Gilroy Garlic Festival in '09 (over 100,000 attendees!).
2010 began with the recording of our 2nd album together "From the Echo," back again at Old School Studios in Caspar. It's an album about freedom and release and moving away from the things that hold us back toward the things that give us hope. Real life stuff, folks.
