The show isn’t very singer-friendly, but she figured that she’d use the audition as a practice run in case she ever wanted to try out for “The Voice.”
When she was just a little girl, she loved the ornaments on the Christmas tree even more than the presents below. To her, they were miniature microphones just waiting for her to sing into them.
Much later when we moved to California, she started High School in Coronado and then finished up in Nancy, France, before going on to college at NYU and UCLA.
While going to High School in Coronado, not only was she the “Freshman Of The Year” but she was also the lead in the school musicals. (See photo below). After graduating from UCLA, she began singing her songs at the Troubadour, Roxy, and Whiskey in Hollywood. (Pictured above)
Not only was she singing at all the clubs on the strip, she was also the Licensing Director for Warner Bros, Atlantic, Asylum, and Rhino Records. Then one day her baby clock went off and the next thing I knew, she became “Supermom.”
However, I remember when I met her for the first time many years ago at the St. Boniface Hospital in Winnipeg, she definitely made the cut with me.
She was predicted to be a he, so when the nurse brought her to me in the waiting room, she was a total surprise, which she continues to be today.
As you can probably tell, I am a very proud Dad, so I can’t resist sharing a few of her tunes with you. Enjoy. Geo
