Alles über mich...

Ofcourse you'll expect an english-german confession from me (vorerst!) Ist doch voll in Ordnung, oder?:-)

I am a pure Filipina born on the 24th of April (wann sonst?!), APRIL CANLAS LUTHER is my whole name and been living here in Germany since September 2005. Well, as much as I want to share much about my private life, please consider if I just leave it "behind the scenes".

Ich war nur 3, geschminkt und gestylt, ganz im Stil der 80er Jahre, als meine Mutter mich auf den Tisch gestellt hat u. ein Lied von "Madonna" singen lassen hat. Ich konnte noch keine richtige Sätze bauen aber schon deutlich habe ich den Text damals "Material Girl" gesungen. That was the first signs!

Dancing was my first love though, it didn't matter if it was  jazz ballet, pop, modern, hiphop, folk, foxtrot, tango, cha-cha, jive, interpretative... (I could go on and on and on....) Until I realized my love for singing is just as complex as my dancing.

Ich habe damals statt Kinderlieder, ABBA, BEATLES, FRANK SINATRA, MATT MONRO, BARBARA STREISAND, TINA TURNER und WHITNEY HOUSTON gehört. Statt Barbie und Puppen, hatte ich Mikrofon und "Walkman" in der Hand.

It was College days, when singing started to become a profession and a financial support. Stage became instantly my second home from then on. Singing in Hotels woke up the classic, jazz, soul, gospel and blues blood in me, it hit me like an arrow. I came to know and fell in love with STEVIE WONDER, DIONNE WARWICK, ARETHA FRANKLIN, NATALIE and NAT KING COLE, MILES DAVIS, RAY CHARLES, JANIS JOPLIN and NORAH JONES. 

Das deutsche Publikum hat mich zum Rock, Pop, Country und Schlager eingeführt. Es hat mir nichts ausgemacht Andrea Berg, Marianne Rosenberg oder Helene Fischer zu singen. Mir war von Anfang an am wichtigsten Wünsche meines Publikum nachzugeben (getreu dem Motto: "Name it,you got it!"). Ich bin genauso gewillt TINA TURNER, MELISSA ETHERIDGE, NENA, SILBERMOND, ALANIS MORISSETTE, CRANBERRIES, QUEEN und ACDC zu performen. My audience are my boss! No more, no less! So if they say they want to hear BEYONCE, ALICIA KEYS, MARIAH CAREY, SARAH CONNOR or YVONNE CATTERFIELD, their wishes are my command!

After a 3-year break, limelight pulled me again, this time with much more passion, hunger and spirit for music! I am just so grateful that I came to know some music "warhorses" of this country. Ich bin einfach sehr dankbar!
