3. Filipino band
4. American MC from Arsonists.
5. Korean band - use this tag - ν리μ€νμΌ
6. Canadian skate punk band in the late '90s.
1. A Swedish synthpop group from the early 1980s. Their most popular hits were "Vill Ha Dig" and "Fantasi". Members: Tommy Ekman, Christer Sandelin, Gigi Hamilton, Joakim Hagleitner, Anders Uddberg and Diane Corinne SΓΆderholm. When the group split up in 1983, Sandelin, Ekman and Hamilton formed Style. Freestyle briefly reunited in 1998, re-recording a few old songs.
2. One of the '80s electro artists, Miami-based producer Tony Butler recorded a string of club tracks on Power/Jam Packed and his own Music Specialist label in the mid-'80s, helping build the Miami-style bass music and freestyle (named after Butler's primary pseudonym), as well as influence '90s post-techno artists such as Autechre and Biochip C. Butler's earlier tracks under his own name includes singles such as "Fix It in the Mix," "Jam the Box," and "Get Some" exploring a thinner, more stripped-down sound similar to Man Parrish and Cybotron. Butler's tracks with Freestyle are perhaps the more well known, and include such club staples as "It's Automatic," "Don't Stop the Rock," and "The Party Has Begun." His more commercial, pop-oriented writing and production work with Trinere, Debbie Deb, and Shannon, however, remain his claim to fame. Butler continued to live and record in Miami thereafter.
3. A Filipino band, formed by Top Suzara and Jinky Vidal in 1996. When Freestyle hit the Manila bar scene in 1998, it was a case of young musicians being at the right place at the right time, with the right sound. Those five guys and a girl had then what Manila was looking for- a new band with vast appeal and the knack for filling venues with their blend of pop, R&B and original hits. After seven years of doing what they do best, Freestyle has grown into an OPM heavyweight with four studio-recorded albums (two of which made platinum), a string of local and international concerts, and industry accolades under their belts, thus making them one of the countryβs best-loved and most sought-after group.
Last year, a new leaf turned for Freestyle. Freestyle learned that change is vital for any band seeking quality and longevity in the music biz. Ushering a new era for Freestyle are the fresh voices of Mike Luis (former Brand New Funk, Next Level), and Joshua Desiderio (former Kindred Garden, Art & Soul), themselves seasoned musicians. Also, since the migration of one of the founding members, Carlo Tapia, Freestyle is proud to welcome Rommel de la Cruz on bass, formerly of Barbieβs Cradle. Continuing members are Gerald Banzon (drums), Nikki Cabardo (keyboards), Tat Suzara (guitar), and Jinky Vidal (vocals).
Seven seems to be a good number for the group who, after only a few rehearsals have blended together seamlessly. The addition of Mike and Joshua (who each play synths on stage) has revitalized Freestyleβs sound to a level of funk and soul that builds upon Jinkyβs solid vocals and the bandβs tight playing. The result is a powerhouse of rich harmonies and robust music, flavoring their cool mix of old and new school R&B, Hip Hop, funk, neo soul and ballads.
Freestyle is positive of the path they are taking. A new vibe was introduced by the new members. From watching their gigs, itβs clear that Freestyle is happy to be where they are now, and is very much here to stay.

Til I Found You
Freestyle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was afraid and thought it wasn't meant for me
I didn't need anybody else
That was what I would tell myself
And I believe that that was how it would be
I used to think that I was fine
Oh, that I was doing ok
I just went all along my way
I didn't know what I was missing
'Til I felt your tender lips kissing my fears away
I'm so glad you're here today
chorus:
I never had somebody I could lean on,
I never had a shoulder I could cry on
'Til I found you babe, 'til I found you, oohh...
And I never had somebody I would think about
I never had someone I couldn't do without
'Til I found you babe, 'til I found you, oohh...
I had been badly hurt before
Ever since then, I would ignore every chance for love
I thought it was a lie
I learned to rely upon myself and
I thought that I was doin well, until you came
With something I just can't deny....
I used to think that I was fine, oh
That I was doing alright
I would go on and do my thing, everyday and every night,
I didn't know what I was missing
'Til I felt you tender love fillin' me up inside
I love you with all my might
chorus 2x
and i never knew the way that love could feel
till i found you babe..
and i never thought that love could be so real
till i found you...
The lyrics of 'Til I Found You by Freestyle tell a story of how the singer had resigned themselves to a life without love, thinking it wasn't meant for them, after experiencing heartbreak in the past. They didn't believe they needed anyone else and that was how it would be. They went on with life thinking they were okay and didn't realize they were missing something until they met someone who filled a void they didn't know existed. The singer had learned to rely on themselves and thought they were doing well alone until the other person came along and offered something they couldn't deny. The chorus emphasises how the singer had never had someone to lean on or someone they couldn't do without until they found the person they are singing about.
The lyrics convey a common struggle that many face, which is learning to open up and trust again after experiencing heartbreak. The singer's story of how they had essentially shut themselves off from love and convinced themselves that they didn't need anyone else is a relatable theme to many. The lyrics express how overwhelming love can be when you finally find the right person, and how it can fill the void that was previously felt.
