It all started with Santa bringing her Mr. Microphone forChristmas one year. She was highly involved in both community and schoolmusicals as well as taking dance lessons throughout childhood and high school,including choir and show choir. After being a musical theater major at ColumbiaCollege in Chicago she dived into a commercial pop singing career. Tokick-start it she made a demo of cover songs in 2000 and started displaying herabilities and talents at Chicago radio station, B96 on the morning show withEddie and Jobo. After creating the concept for her record label in 2001,Volcanic Records, she began work on her first CD sampler EP of her ownoriginally written songs. She was blessed with many opportunities at that timeat B96 and gaining encouraging words of wisdom and support from her musical"big brothers" sort of speak in 98 Degrees. Heather's musicalinfluences are in the whole ray of the pop genre. Several of which being 98Degrees, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Christina Aguilera, MariahCarey, Madonna, and Janet Jackson, but her biggest influence comes from a placemore personally within. She writes her own songs, so each song could be said tobe a chapter right out of her own life. No need for personal questions for her,just refer to the music. She thanks not only her musical influences but alsofriends, family, and real life. That gives her the material and strength forsuch a cutthroat business. And in saving the best for last she gives credit toinfluence and mostly gives thanks to Jesus Christ.
