 MEET THE TEAM June 16, 2006 
 
Now that I’m back from across the Pond, I thought you might like to know a wee bit about the great people I’ve been working with in New York!!

RUSS DESALVO : Song-writer/producer extraordinaire, who has helped me to find my own voice and to have confidence in my ability to write some great songs. Signed to Sir Paul McCartney’s publishing company, Russ’s workload is massive, but he still manages to find time for me, thank you, Russ!! He's also a ridiculously talented guitarist and has played all the guitar parts on the Album. Check out his web page at : http://www.mplcommunications.com/fw_desalvo/index.htm

PATRICK CARROLL : Programmes the drum samples, percussion, does the edits et al and also, luckily enough, he's a brilliant bass player... as well as official session photographer, sender of amusing E-mails and all round great guy!! Thanks, Pat!

FRANK VILARDI : Awesome drummer, who's worked with a lotta people! Highly respected and great fun to work with and watch beat the crap outta his kit!! You can have a closer look at Frank here : http://www.pearldrum.com/f_valardi.asp

PETER SCHWARZ : Programmer, remixer and orchestral arranger on songs for U2, Madonna, Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey, he has been musical director for David Bowie, Madonna, Enya and Cher and has also worked with Luther Vandross, Kraftwerk, N Sync, Gloria Estefan and Jamiroquai, to name but a few! Playing keyboards, programming and writing string arrangements on my Album, his contribution has been amazing and lifted the whole thing to another level.

DUG MCGUIRK : Amazing sound engineer and all-round crazy guy who totally rocks!! As well as making the music sound awesome he also looks out for me ... picking me up from the airport, lending me his mum's house and car (!) and generally makes sure I have all the things a travelling girl needs!! Thanks Honeyb!! Check out his work at : http://www.thruthedin.com/

ARNIE ROMAN : Arnie is an incredible pianist, a great lyricist and has written so many great songs it’s impossible to know where to start. Having come along to check me out, he stayed, wrote some kick-ass songs with me and even wrote a great song especially for me – Thanks so much, Arnie!

TANYA LEAH : Tanya is also an amazing lyricist and song writer who I've had the pleasure to write some uber-cool songs with. She also sings some of the BVs on the Album – she’s a really great singer with a beautiful voice and a huge heart... I love her!! Look her up at : http://www.tanyaleah.com/

MARTIN BRILEY : Martin is your actual “Englishman in New York”! Guitarist, arranger, vocalist and hit Single writer, Martin has done it all and is now one of the most prominent writers on the New York scene. He and Dana Calitri wrote a really great song with me – which you'll hear very soon! Martin’s website is at http://www.martinbriley.com/

DANA CALITRI : Dana is very much in demand as a singer and has performed with Celine Dion, Elton John and Cher, among others, as well as touring under her own name. She has many hit songs to her credit and wrote Beauty In The Silence with me and Martin. http://www.fearlessdreamer.com/ct_musicians_climb.shtml#dana_calitri

AIMEE BERGER : Russ and Dug’s Manager and a crazy, CRAZY lady!! She's your typical New Yorker, except she's from Florida!!! She's hilariously funny and if she says she'll do something, she'll make it happen!! A great person to have on your team in the New York and LA music scenes. She lets me sleep on her sofa, takes me to gigs and is generally very cool! Aimee’s website is at : http://www.2generations.com/site.html
