Dana Parish - Not My Problem


Back


I am an old fashioned girl. I still want music to be transporting and meaningful like it was for me as a child. I knew as a three-year-old, and announced to my family, that I would be a singer when I grew up. A girl on a mission, some things never change. My earliest memories are of playing records on my first little stereo with these giant headphones. I was barely eight when I was singing my lungs out to Pat Benatar not realizing everyone in the house could hear me. I'd wait till I thought they were asleep, and every night I got into trouble for being up singing past midnight. I wrote and recorded my first song, brilliantly entitled "Only You and Me", when I was thirteen. Looking back, it's actually a good little pop song. I am forever grateful to my eternally supportive voice teacher, Paul Adkins, for seeing to it that I got into the studio and made that recording. He even sang back-up. I have never looked back, and although I am flattered to be asked to write for some very well-known artists, I am happiest writing for myself. I hope there's a little girl out there tonight who is blasting my CD into her headphones way past her bedtime. A few highlights for me are: making this record with amazing musicians/engineers whose collective credits include: Sheryl Crow, David Bowie, Counting Crows, Fefe Dobson, Paul Simon, NY Dolls etc. My song, Watch Me Fly, being the end title cut for the feature film Gray Matters starring Heather Graham and Sissy Spacek. It will also be featured in the trailer of Fox Feature film The Redemption of Sarah Caine due out this fall. Singing backgrounds for Michael Jackson at Madison Square Garden --- I got to play at the legendary Bottom Line in NYC right before they closed, it was so cool!
