I have worked on and off with Rob Works for years.
He is a natural, has appeared in many musical productions. Recently, I sent him to the brilliant pianist Billy Taggessor. The result iss breathtaking.
I have been working with Jessica for 3 years, She came to me as a soprano, had made a CD of Italian and Spanish Josh Groban-type tunes.
It started out with a party for my dear fellow vocal coach, Ronni Fabre. Ronni is a singer I have known and admired for… welll… more-than-a-few years. She walked over to me with this man on her arm and said, “You two MUST meet.”
When I first heard Katie sing, I thought of Nashville, and Eric Bikales, my friend, pianist/produce/arranger for Neil Sedaka.
Eric moved to the south 7 years ago from L A where he did quite well. Knowing, and trusting him to get me the best originals from award winning writers.
In the 70′s I was in groups, traveling all over the country. Living out of a trunk. I was in “Commonwealth” with my then boyfriend, Jorge Casas, and friend Maurice Moore.
Our Playboy Club contracts were over and we had been at the Lions Den at the original MGM and the Blue Room at the Tropicana.
When Michael Selinsky wrote me via Facebook, about being inducted into the Las Vegas Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I was very excited. Not only would I see my band-mates again, but we would play, together again, on stage.
My biggest sorrow about my guy Cee Lo is when he choose cute over talent. He chose Sisters Tori and Taylor, over Kelsey.The song, “Unwritten”. Kelsey knocked it out of the park.
I now realize how you can really think someone has a good voice, at first, and then, the more you listen, the more you hear, and the more you can change your mind. I had some early favorites who are still my favorites.
