Working With Composer, Bryce Jacobs at Hans's Remote Control.

Sat, 20 Aug 2011 00:00:00 -0700

This month I launched into a new body of work with one of L.A's hottest new, young film composers, Bryce Jacobs. Bryce has a tricked out suite down at Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Studios and has a really interesting background, being both a classically trained guitarist and rock sideman. Together we bring an eclectic range of influences to our co writes and it's proving to be great fun! I'll post links to our new tunes soon. To check out some of what Bryce is known for here's a link to his IMDB page ~

Signing With Extreme Music!

Wed, 13 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I signed on with the "The Bad Boys Of Production Music" and perhaps the world's most influential production music company today! I'm psyched to say the least that Sony/ATV's Extreme Music are working my stuff - and am in excellent company as they represent the music of Hans Zimmer, Quincy Jones, Snoop Dogg, John Powell and Robbie Nevil to name a few.

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I'm really excited about this beautiful little song I wrote with J.J Farris and Nashville based artist, Anthony Snape! Earlier in the year the ABC TV network licensed it for use and it's already popped up in General Hospital and The World News With Diane Sawyer.

Anthony shone performing live on the PBS Network's Summer Pledge Drive Concert Special, "Tommy Emmanuel & Friends"! The show airs nation wide all summer long then regionally for the next three years and our co write, "Everlasting", is featured on the show's CD and DVD release recorded live at The Balboa Theater in San Diego!

Amazing Session at Remote Control Productions!

Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:00:00 -0700

Today my recording engineer husband, Daniel Kresco, and I got to work together on an incredible session. Recently we wrote a song for an amazing U.K based charity called Walking With The Wounded - who work in support of ex Service People. The session was GREAT FUN and the production of our ripper tune, "Don't Know How To Back Down" included vocals from Captain Martin Hewitt, Private Jacco Van Gass, Polar Explorer Henry Cookson and even composer and producer Magnus Fiennes! Wow!

On A Roll With Film Composer, Kristen Baum...

Thu, 26 May 2011 00:00:00 -0700

This month I began work on a very enchanted and "otherworldly" musical with one of my favorite collaborators, film score composer Kristen Baum. Congrats to KB on being a part of the exclusive Sundance Film Composer's Lab this Summer!

I've also been in the studio writing with another amazing film score composer and songwriter, Bryce Jacobs. Bryce works from Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions in Santa Monica and congratulations go out to him, too for his great work recently on Rango, Clash Of The Titans and Prates Of The Caribbean!

Writing the theme song to the feature documentary "A Change Is In The Wind" ...

Thu, 07 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I'm happy as a dog with ten tails to be back at "work" in the City Of Angels! I just wrote the theme song to a terrific feature documentary film called "Change Is In The Wind" which showcases communities around the world uniting to build a carbon neutral future. We'll be recording the track in the coming months and seeing Divine World's latest film up on the big screen in 2012. Can't wait!

Orchestras & Oysters on The Apple Isle

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:00:00 -0700

I'm back home in L.A after an epic journey over to Oz - visiting family and getting up to a few interesting things... I was asked to be a guest speaker at the Tasmanian Conservatorium Of Music and spoke to students about songwriting and artist/writer relationships in particular. That's led to a new song of mine being recorded by the Conservatorium's orchestra ~ which will be a thrill! It's a song my artist sister, Tania and I wrote to benefit a medical emergency charity group servicing outback Australia and will be bonused onto Tan's "Greatest Hits" cd coming out in the next few months.

My sister also hosts a major network travel and lifestyle tv show called "What's Up Down Under?" and as we were traveling together down there one thing led to another and I ended up co hosting the most recent episode with her! That was quite a laugh and we got to do some amazing stuff, shooting on a world heritage listed historic railway, eating incredible fresh seafood in Strahan (a stone's throw from Antarctica!) and getting totally spoiled aboard a luxury river cruise through some of the world's most pristine rainforest. It was a great experience and I certainly got the chance to get over any camera shyness I might have had!

"EVERLASTING" on ABC USA!

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:00:00 -0800

One of my long time co writers, J.J Farris, and I just signed off on a deal with the ABC TV network here in the States! I'm psyched that they'll be using a killer new little new tune of ours called "Everlasting" in their programming! Our artist and co writer on that song is an amazing talent I really believe in! Check out Anthony Snape.
