Originally from Australia and with Mediterranean heritage, Heidi has been living in the UK for over 2 years. She has been involved in music most of her life-studying music and the classical piano, performing in bands, choirs, solo and in dance productions.
Instead of concentrating on her own singing career however, she worked in the marketing division of Sony Music and the publicity division of Universal Music, Australia making the dreams of others happen. She helped break major acts such as Travis, Destinys Child, Roger Sanchez, Shakira and Ricky Martin. Her days were spent representing these artists to the media and her nights were filled with song writing sessions and rehearsals!
With this exciting lifestyle Heidi's own dreams of being a singer and songwriter took a back seat. Only temporarily!
Heidi spent her time songwriting, performing and recording her material and arming herself with the knowledge and experience to become the artist she has now evolved into.
WHO I BE is her debut album which reflects her journey of life over a 3 year period. The pain, the growth, her fears of breaking free and pursuing her dreamsand as all journeys are faced with a mix of emotions and love, Heidi paints her personal picture of her journey and the love and pain she felt along the way.
