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

Check out my conversation with Barry Fontenot of Barry and the Fountains. Barry J Fontenot is a Louisiana-born, Chicago-based musician whose endearing sound is dipped in mixtures of heartfelt neo-soul and alternative folk melodies. Raised and inspired by deep soul & delta blues sonic sensibilities, you can hear his channeling of legendary musicians such as Otis Redding, Sam Cook and other timeless crooners. That being said, in his original compositions, Barry reveals the more eclectic influences that have followed him throughout his musical journey — he strives, in his own words, to “write em’ like Jazz songs, play em’ like Rock songs, and sing em’ like Soul songs". Upon moving to Chicago, Barry developed a number of working relationships in the city’s independent music scene; with his closest musical collaborators, the 'The Fountains,’ he blended his distinctly smooth voice with the effortless contemporary (yet nostalgic) instrumentals of his comrades, to synthesize the group’s signature sound. Gracing the stages of the Chicago music scene, Barry pushes forward this year with his independently produced album, The Great Extreme, produced by keyboardist Amir Khay Nir, preceded by two singles: the recently released "Kleo," 8/26/2020, and the upcoming "Rose," debuting today 9/23/2020. Please enjoy these passionately crafted singles in anticipation of the full album on October 19th 2020.
