Album Notes from Cali Lili’s Debut Album ThisFemaleIsNotYetRated™ ©Cali Lili all rights reserved
” I don’t know where my songs come from but they always told me where to go. I rode the songs in like a wave. I wrote my first lyrics on NYC subways, planning to almost “rap” them, like poetry. My childhood home was troubled + even my choice of music was an act of rebellion against a family that considered “classical” music to be the “only” music. NYC was like my playground and I spent as much time away from home as possible … listened to alternative music stations like NPR – and discovered that my “odd” ideas about music weren’t so odd after all. My teachers were always amazing to me. I was like a “runaway with a scholarship” – escaping the challenges of an abusive childhood home, while embracing the wonders of learning new things every day. I got skipped several grades, so I was always the youngest in the class and a bit of a “lone wolf.” Training as a dancer and actress, I had no “instrument,” beyond my body, my voice and “percussion-words.” I “took dictation” from where-ever these lyrics seemed to “originate.” Sometimes they showed up in dreams, fully written. I’m a multi-cultural “Island Child Gone Wild in the City” ™ so “the beats” were there for me in every syllable, soaring guitars underneath. Beats, heartbeats, indigenous roots soul beats, syncopations from global girls in global cities – global streets – NYC, City Of Angels / L.A. , Sao Paolo / Brazil, Japanese Taiko – and – always, always on my mind and in my heart : Africa. Bits of alternative chords and multi-cultural percussions accompanied definitive words, but I can’t read/write music, so I was “locked out” of what i call the “musician’s locker room.” Baffled and intimidated by the idea of writing music to my lyrics, sometimes “triggered” by traumatic childhood incidents, I sought “music” for my lyrics. I knew that water was my “hood,” I was born on the water, as much as i adore NYC, my soul longed for water . So, I “caught a wave” for Cali. As I began working with my “buddy” in Los Angeles (iconic actor/musician Wings Hauser) my NYC notebooks filled with lyrics, hints of music, fragments – found their home with his melodies. Sometimes I read him the lyrics first and other times he played melodies that were instantly recognizable to me, as the destined partner for certain songs. My primitive fumblings for musical concepts “haunting” these lyrics were now finally “accessible.” As we developed the songs, I could “channel” ideas for which I previously had no vocabulary. “Shaping” the songs – my voice followed. The beats showed up again and they brought me home on my “Island Child Wild™ ” Wave.
From my high-school design, my tiny, sustainable, ecologically responsible IndiGoGreen™ studio in Venice Beach was hand-built . Cali Lili Indies ™ Pictures Words Music in Motion™ feMt0™studi0 VenusBeach ™ Cutting Edge Of The Pacific ™ is an enchanted “green space” in harmony with BluePlanetGreenSpaces™ where my team and I create “Fempowered™” “Socially Responsive ™” films, albums, and books. My aim is to “nourish” through my “pictures words music in motion ™” The screenplay for my movie ” eVe N’god this female is not yet rated ™ ” was “born” as a “twin” to the album. I knew these songs would become the Soundtrack for the motion picture. I’d never produced any music before so I was super nervous about that responsibility. Once Wings Hauser and I got these songs up and running – once again, the songs told me where to go. I just seemed to “know” in my body – and in my heart – exactly how to produce this album. Orchestrations and arrangements seemed to be clear to me in my own newly found “language” … but still I’d need to find my ideal team. Magically, my team showed up right on time. AWESOME Ohio Engineer, #ReidRice seemed to magically appear in L.A for me ! Thank You So Much Reid – I couldn’t have imagined better. The AMAZING musicians who joined us on this journey, seemed to also magically just “show up.” Each one of these artists connected with every song and brought me something from the heart of their brilliant abilities : PaulTokarz from Headless Robot Band – showed up in L.A. with his Baltimore Knock Down Brilliance / Heart and Soul Brilliance on Guitars – acoustic and electric EdiRoque, In Rage Entertainment, Master Guitarist from #Brazil, now in L.A. with his beautiful and super-smart wife Julie, had originally contacted me thru facebook when he was still in Brazil ! He had seen my music video ” ElectionTrain ” and we began corresponding for two years … magically and just in time for this Album – Edi was in Los Angeles with his Virtuoso Genius on Guitars – acoustic and electric. Kristen Gleeson Prata from BORNS band, was thrilled that I told her I wanted to experiment with multi-cultural global rhythms and when I said I wanted to create my unique “TrashKit™” ( my drum kit made with Trash Cans and Plastic pails) she was transported back to being a kid – which is what I am when it comes to Rhythm – I’m hooked. We had a blast – I am so grateful to Kris not only for being so open to my crazy ideas but of course – for providing us with her Spectacular Drums and Hand Percussion Mark Cassidy from the Get Down Boys and Hillbenders , I promised him “ham sandwiches” with every session and he brought his Jawdropping brilliance on Banjo and Mandolin as well as his tremendous style to every moment of this work. Donna Schwartz Master / genius – showed up just in time from NYC – and we were all floored by her Extraordinary Sax and Horn. Sean Nelson – Truly a Master on Keys – his rig was three times the size of our space and it was worth it ! Steve Shuster – was kind enough to join us with his deep soul on Bass at a time when he had just become a new father … and we so appreciate that soul in this album ! The songs told us where to go. We rode the songs in like a wave. ” © CaliLili™ Album Notes all rights reserved

Informal Biography + Anecdotes :
"I'm still that teenage runaway with a scholarship ... lol, I got a Masters' Degree from NYU, but no high school diploma ... "
Actress * Director * Singer * Songwriter Cali Lili skipped several grades (having been tested as reading at college level in grade school) took her first college course in the entire works of Shakespeare, at age 13, never graduated high-school, never even went to a prom, was swooped up, landing at NYU, then completed her Masters' Degree on full scholarship with awards / stellar reviews for early works.
The Cali Lili ™ Band recorded a completely original stand-alone "Urban / World / Rock © " styled Singer-Songwriter Debut Album which forms the core of the soundtrack for her debut feature film :
'eVe N'god ™ this female is not yet rated ™ ' now streaming on demand on iTunes 🍎Apple TV etc…
She made the feature length narrative motion picture with an ALL FEMALE production team.
'eVe N'god this female is not yet rated ™ ' is perhaps, the first ( or one of the first ) production of it's kind : a theatrical feature length motion picture, in which the technical production roles employed only women during principal photography. She began pre-pre-production on this "fempoword™" project in 2010, including rehearsal footage.
Cali is told that she was born "early" and "on the water." Having experienced an extremely difficult childhood, she does not revisit those days, and often speaks out against abuse.
Born of multi-cultural heritage, Cali is keenly aware and concerned with what she sees as a form of "tribalism" too often employed as "nationalism." Cali writes about these issues and acts accordingly when it comes to her public image.
Cali adores being an actor and takes that craft very seriously, but found herself turning down 3 acting offers, that she felt were disempowering to women, in order to "turn up" what she calls fempower (TM) by scraping together "half a shoestring budget" to build her "green" "off-grid," upcycled "surfshack" feMt0™studi0 in the "floating" neighborhood of Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California where she makes "Signature" auteur Motion Pictures, Albums and Books, "TinyMultiMedia™️ HandMade2MakeADifference™”©
Based on the quality of her work as an artist, and her uncompromising dedication to excellence, she then raised modest financing for her upcoming Slate of Motion Pictures, Albums, and Books.
She works from the Cutting Edge Of The Pacific ™" @ The Cali Lili Indies ™ " where she stays "afloat" connected with her love and devotion to "rippling waters of the world"
Cali's degree included extensive studies in anthropology as well as performance techniques from all over the globe. She holds an added background of intense New York studies in dance /choreography.
Cali is proud to share her deep connection with "Mother Africa." She is greatly inspired by African culture, the cultures of Oceania, and that of her other diverse intercultural studies.
Cali's quote :
"We all originate from one mother in Africa, the Ocean is our collective unconscious, so let us honor each other, our mutual mother, our waters, and our blue mothership, earth. In doing so, we save ourselves "©
Cali's films are inclusive of lgbtq characters and the authentic real lives of these characters. She also delves into the reality of "being female" and a "multi-cultural blend" who "appears to be white," in a biased world.
Cali's career in movies began as a teenager, flying back and forth from NY to LA, while working as an "au pair."
As a kid, she "raised herself" in spite of an abusive childhood and vowed she would never marry, but she married her male partner in 2012, contrary to gossip that they were married earlier.
The partnership between Cali and Wings is unique and her work / films reflect upon relationships and gender / orientation / politics in culture and society in the 21st Century .
Womens' Rights, Human Rights, Feminist, Lesbian, LGBTQ and Bi-Sexual matters are included, along with other Social Justice and Environmental Justice as part of her projects, sharing stories about the authentic lives of characters navigating the "waters" of the 21st Century.
With legendary 'Edward G. Robinson as one of the distinguished members of her ancestry, Cali dedicates herself to honoring a tradition of excellence and earning her "place" as an up-and-coming young artist.
She has been granted the rights to the favorite novel of legendary 'Zane Grey (I) by Grey's son Loren Grey ( writer and educator) for a film adaptation in which she will co-star.
As a young Indie Performer and Creator, Cali and her partner, veteran actor 'Wings Hauser' along with Cali's team of handpicked skilled film and music professionals, are producing a growing catalogue of original films and songs.
Cali is already busy in preps for the next green-lighted project, using her proprietary methodologies as described in her book "The Declaration of IndiePenDance™"
In the past, Cali previously worked in a collaboration agreement deal with Academy Award winning Dutch producer, 'Hans de Weers' (Antonia's Line) which ended when Cali realized it was time to build her own tiny studio, in order to make projects that empower Women, LGBTQIA , Civil Rights and Climate Science communities.
Her wish is to continue sharing her heart with the hearts of the beautiful fans she hears from, daily.
We here at GTA Management, hope you will take some time to support her works.
