"HEIDI
is a refreshingly soulful jazzy pop singer songwriter who will smother you with
her warm tone, connect with your soul through her lyrics and dazzle you with her
infectious energy live on stage "
Originally
from Australia and with Mediterranean heritage, Heidi has been living in the UK
for 3 years. She has been involved in music most of her life-studying music and
the classical piano, performing in bands, choirs, as a soloist and in dance productions.
Instead of concentrating
on her own singing career however, she worked in the marketing division of Sony
Music and the publicity division of Universal Music, Australia making the dreams
of others happen. She helped break major acts such as Travis, Destiny's Child,
Roger Sanchez, Shakira and Ricky Martin. Her days were spent representing these
artists to the media and her nights were filled with song writing sessions and
rehearsals!
With
this exciting lifestyle Heidi's own dreams of being a singer and songwriter took
a back seat. Only temporarily!
Heidi
spent her time songwriting, performing and recording her material and arming herself
with the knowledge and experience to become the artist she has now evolved into.
WHO I BE was her
debut album which reflected her journey of life over a 3 year period. The pain,
the growth, her fears of breaking free and pursuing her dreams and as all journeys
are faced with a mix of emotions and love, Heidi paints her personal picture of
her journey and the love and pain she felt along the way. Heidi's sweet soulful
style and moving, touching lyrics reflect subject matters that are close to her
heart and all have a positive message.
WHO
I BE is distributed to all major online retailers including Itunes, AOL, Emusic,
Real Rhapsody, and more via IRIS Distribution & CD Baby (US), MJM (Europe)
& Astral Records/Blue Pie Productions (Southern hemisphere & licencing
opps)
