简介

Over the past three years, I have had the privilege of working with people who have not only shared with me their awe inspiring musical talent and experience, but their kind, generous and genuine character and friendship. They are the best example of what is Good in the music Industry today and I am so grateful to have had and still have them in my life. My two Albums, "Building Bridges" and "Up Top", would not have been possible without the following people: David Ari Leon: for the beautiful Piano adaptations, performances, and arrangements on Comfortably Numb, Dog and Butterfly, Steady On, It Don't Bring You as well as the lyrics on Voliamo. This Album began with CN followed by an unbelievable chain of events. It was Synchronicity and Serendipity right from the start and you brought peace, love and light through music and kindness to me and to everyone who has had the good fortune of working with you and your amazing talent as a Composer and Musical Supervisor. Saverio Principini "Sage" of Speakeasy Studios: for the the magic created by one of the greatest music producers in the business. Your guidance, patience, creativity and multitalented musical contributions as producer, musician and songwriter for So the Story Goes, Talk to Me, I Will Find You and Why Did I Dream, was a priceless blessing for which I shall be forever grateful. Oh, and your delicious Italian dishes are legendary. Marco Sonzini of Speakeasy Studios: for also graciously and flawlessly production work on It Don't Bring You as well as for your generous help and kindness through the final mixing of the songs. Mille Grazie. Simone Sello: for blessing my songs with your Guitar wizardry. In particular, I can recall forgetting to sing, because I was entranced listening to your guitar solo on Steady On. You are an amazing musician and yet so humble. I was so incredibly fortunate that you shared your talent with me. Infinite gratitude. Matt Laug: for proving to the world why an Acoustic drum can never be replaced by an electric or electronic version, because of your decades of experience, soul and skill, evidenced by your live performances on this Album. It was a privilege and honour for me to watch you perform, as well a pleasure to meet such a genuinely kind person. Gavin Lurssen and Nikki Nieves of Lurssen Mastering Studios: for Mastering the final versions of the songs with perfection. For the kindness, patience and professionalism extended to me so generously during the process. My sincerest gratitude to you both. Grant Taylor: my fearless manager and friend. Kurt Vaillancourt thankfully introduced me to you before this all began and I am grateful that you are a positive and inspirational guide in this very confusing and ever more complicated music industry. For your experience, energy, intelligence and patience to guide me through the process and take over in those many areas where I was out of my element, my heartfelt and dearest thank you for giving me "Chance". Ed Haydon and Alexander Hallberg: for blessing me since the early Soundcloud days with your beautiful instrumental tracks for The Breeze, Inner Core and Diggin It. I am your biggest fan and will always be up for making music with the Dynamic Musical Duo. Andreas Schumacher "Shoemansky" my Swiss neighbour who I have yet to meet: for your incredible talent as a songwriter and musician, and the gift to sing to your beautiful musical tracks. I have been a fan since the first time I heard "The Plan" and am honoured to have sung with you on "Spirits" and "On That First Day". Peter K. aka "The Subversive": for being a musical track factory of talent to choose from. Your generosity to me and to everyone on the Souncloud community is truly "Limitless". A big shout out to my Wild Orchid sisters Chris and Robyn, for all those powerful and positive musical vibes and never giving up on me over the years. To all the wizards and friends at Smule, for all they do to help the world to sing, play, create and share beautiful music with nothing more than a device in the palm of their hands.. You have played an important role in my life for the past four years, and without your applications and the community of wonderful musicians and friends I have met as a result of them, this incredible journey I have been on, might never have happened. I am honoured and proud to have played a small part in your mission. Last, but definitely not least, to my family for their love, support, honest critique and understanding over the years. It was so great for me to sing with my daughter Ally on "So the Story Goes". I am so proud of my three beautiful and uber talented children Alyson, Carleen and Colin, and I hope we will soon be recording their songs. These Albums are dedicated to my father, who is a true hero, and to the memory of my mother. I love you both so much. As an opera singer, my mom began my musical training before I was born, and never stopped encouraging me to pursue an Artistic career right up until her last breath. I know you have been pulling strings for me from above mom. I miss you.
