Los Angeles:
My vocal student and co-writer Jordyn Mallory won a Myspace contest to become part of the cast for several episodes in the interactive TV show called "If I Can Dream"! Created by Simon Fuller, it follows aspiring performers (singers, actors, models, athletes, etc) as they attempt to succeed in their chosen field. Cast members included Justin Gaston (Nashville Star contestant, co-star of Taylor Swift's 'Love Story' video) and Alex Lambert (Am Idol semifinalist). Congratulations, girl!!

Lyndsey Highlander and her band made it to the finals for the Wildhorse Saloon house band contest! She's also been chosen Spotlight #1 for NACA South showcase college tour. Rock, on Lynds!
Singer/songwriter/author/speaker Jenni Schaefer was in town this week giving a presentation about eating disorders and book signing (her second book is called "Hello Me") at Vanderbilt University. The mix is being finished on her first album project, in which I am very happy to say I have two co-writes with her.
Marlee Scott was in from Canada and played Nashville's "Listening Room". She was recently nominated as "Rising Star" by the CCMA. Congrats, Marlee!
My friend and vocal student Salem Jones and her powerful band "One Soul Thrust" have just released their FABULOUS new rock album. Rock icon Glenn Hughes does a duet on one of the cuts with her. If you need to wake up, support them and buy this.Oh... and they are looking for seriously lucky management.

Studio:
I produced vocals on two new acts as part of the production team of Mike Borchetta and Darren Smith (who also happens to lead Tim McGraw's band "Dance Hall Doctors" and co-produces Tim with Byron Gallimore). The two new artists are Kelly Parkes and a great new young sister-duo "Jenny and Ashley".
