Skarlet Brown

Myra David , who would later be known also as Skarlet Brown, is one of the amazing artist that came out for Malabon. an exceptional singer and stage performer , fronted seminal bands like Ardourn Delirium, Put3Ska and The Brownbeat Allstars. and is acknowledged as The Queen of Philippine Ska music.

My Kap. Marvel in the music Industry... Personally the most captivating performer ever to set foot on a local stage . saw her first time sometime in '95 as the flamboyant frontwoman of the Ska band, Put3Ska. who would not only gain significant commercial success, but would later develop a cult following up to this day.

I have been a witness how the band set standards for a live performance., The music, the band, and Myra is just an overwhelming presence on the stage : The way she presented herself (and the rest of the band for that matter) , be it on a 2Tone Mohair suit or a pretty rude girl is such a classy act to watch

plus her compelling Persona onstage. She knows how to utilize her gift of music , the spunk, the charisma , the energy.

an amazing spectacle, and definitely a showstopper.

As one of the band's song goes.. She'll make you "rip you off your seats" with whatever beats she plays compellingly...

Her departure from the band, was initially a sad news, but artist like Ska , still need to grow musically . she did great in Put3ska, but i guess it only proved one thing... She's definitely something more

we have seen her capability as a performer , her post P3K ventures would show her more diverse side of her artistry, from the spunky, electrifying performer , to a more complex sound ( Neo Jump swing, Samba, Mambo Afro Latin sound of The Brownbeat All Stars, and Skarlet Swing Machine , and the classy Skarlet the jazz artist

Crossing genres and expanding the horizon in her artistry just make this woman such an exceptional one... the "more than that" i believe would attributes better on her advocacies.

Perhaps her personal sad experiences carved a deep longing of helping others , especially women which inspired her to be a strong advocate of "Women's Rights"

..

I have been fortunate to follow her career even after P3K: exchange of emails during that period; her IKon stint, Ten02 Bar opening, Her advocacy and information regarding "Women's Right" and her "Powder Room Stories" Album..

which i was one of the fortunate first to hear the song "Babae Ako" with the attached MP3 she sent along with the promo/invitation. during my time away from the scene ( incarceration /manufacturing years)… i would slip once or twice just to catch my ultimate Heroine.

with the recent brief reunion of Put3ska, and the reformation of Browbeat All-stars.. or Ska the Jazz artist..

after all these years i still look forward of seeing Skarlet on stage, and would always get the goosebumps as if it's the first time.....
