Episode 8 - A Conversation With Ty Juan

As she developed her voice and craft over the years, she has set her sights on releasing an album that reflects her musical style—smooth and pop jazz, with a mix of bossa nova and Latin jazz, plus R&B. Heidi is no stranger to performing in international venues. After completing her bachelor’s degree from Manila at age 22, she immediately chased her dream, embarking on solo gigs throughout Asia. This path saw her performing in musical venues in Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Guam. Life was not always smooth sailing in Heidi’s earlier years of entertaining. As a single mother, singing provided her with the strength she needed to carry on; oftentimes performing as much as 5x a week, to provide for her daughter and set an example on the values of hard work and perseverance. This experience also intensified her resolve as an artist. Today, she is a proud mother to that same daughter, Hannah, who, as a scholar, graduated Summa cum Laude from the University of Southern California’s Annenberg School. What makes Heidi different? “My cultural heritage and my experience. Even when I sing these songs in my chosen genre, my FilAm roots are palpable in my delivery and the feel and tone of my songs. The sum total of my experience enables me to bring depth to the songs I perform”.

Episode #9 - A Conversation With Heidi Tann

Join my conversation with singer/songwriter Geary Beals. Gary is from a small, predominantly black rural community of Cherry Brook, Nova Scotia, Gary's involvement in the local church choir, and as part of the gospel group Light of Day, helped develop his soulful voice. Influenced by velvet-voiced crooners Al Green and Marvin Gaye and universally admired vocalists like Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson, Beals continues to create a sound all his own. Beal's 2005 self-titled debut album, and follow-up release "The Rebirth of...", earned him widespread praise, along with a Juno nomination for "Best R&B/Soul Recording," and East Coast Music Award, and nominations for an Urban Music Award and a Canadian Radio Music Award. 

Despite his successes, Gary felt confined by traditional constructs of music written, recorded and performed for the masses, and wasn't able to identify with stereotypical love songs (boy likes girl; boy pursues girl, or vice versa). Feeling like he had hidden parts of himself for so long, Gary felt like he had lost sight of who he was. Periods of healing and self discovery eventually led to self-love, growth, power and happiness. 

Now stronger than ever, Gary Beals introduces us to more refined and conscious version of himself. From track opener and lead single "Me For Me", which tackles vulnerability in relationships to the confident and aggressive "Why Not" about Gary pursing a long interest.
