Barbara George was born in the City of Birmingham, Alabama. Her father was the Manager of the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Associate Conductor of the Alabama Pops Orchestra. President of the Birmingham Opera Company and Vice President of the Southern Regional Opera Company. Her mother hosted a live jazz radio and television program for the NBC affiliate.
Consequently Barbara's introduction to music was quite diverse and this direction continued as she began writing her own compositions at the age of nine. To date, Barbara has written over 100 songs, in a variety of styles; pop, rock, jazz, country, blues, R&B, symphonic, reggae and calypso.
Of particular note is a song Barbara composed in 1990 titled, "The Earth Anthem". This song was adopted by Orange Environment of Orange County, New York as their official Earth Day Anthem. Barbara's song was also nominated for a United Earth/Nobel Prize that same year in May along with her children's book, "Kiss The World Goodnight", written and illustrated by Barbara.
Barbara is currently recording her new CD which includes a major symphonic rock ballad titled, "Beyond Still Waters". This song has the attention of one of opera's greatest stars!
