Manis Studio is a YouTube bot channel that posts Indonesian celebrity gossip, and is the original poster of over a dozen other unidentified songs. Being a bot, it couldn’t provide any information about the songs.
The bot has not uploaded anything since 2022. Manis found these songs through a now deleted YouTube channel named "VHF Production Music", including demos from Gary Miller, Steve Lee, Lauraine McIntosh, etc.
Theories on how it got access to the songs
The person behind the account possibly discovered a source on the internet which directed to a bunch of portfolios belonging to artists, including their respecting songs. The person could possibly have hacked into some of the writers databases (that being Paul Barry, Gary Miller, Steve Torch or Peter Waterman).
The demos were possibly leaked by Vyacheslav Tyurin when he was an admin on Gary’s website in 2012. It’s theorized he leaked the demos due to there being a large piracy scene in Russia. He was contacted, but didn’t respond.
