    By day, Eileen Francisco is a mum of two boys and marketing officer. At night she is an artist, songwriter and occasionally performs under Midnight – a musical alter ego formed after a year of lockdowns, heartache, and grief. As a way to process complex emotions, Eileen spent many nights in front of the piano and Midnight was born in 2021.
