Bio
Girl Friday is a Houston based singer/ songwriter. Combining both traditional and contemporary acoustic sounds, her music is lyric driven, harmony infused, and designed to draw the listener into the story and the emotion. In true singer/songwriter fashion, all songs are crafted to be performed either solo-acoustically or with a full band, making them versatile enough for a relaxing coffee house vibe or an energy-filled festival stage. Her first EP, "Light of the Moon," was produced by Dan Workman, President and Owner of Sugar Hill Studios in Houston and member of the governing board of The Recording Academy. Her second EP, "Songbird" was co-produced and engineered by Brian Baker of Sound Arts Studios in Houston and was released on July 19, 2011. Girl Friday is a member of both The Recording Academy and ASCAP and has played at notable acoustic venues including NYC's landmark Bitter End, Dallas' House of Blues, Momo's on Austin's world famous 6th Street, The Woodlands' popular Dosey Doe Coffee House, and Houston's nationally recognized McGonigel's Mucky Duck. As an advocate of services designed to improve the lives of children, Girl Friday is also a musician volunteer in the Houston community with Love Street Light Circus, a non-profit musicians on call program that brings live music to the bedsides of pediatric cancer, renal, and orthopedic patients. She also supports The Y's Partners of Youth Program donating performances and portions of her EP sales to raise money to scholarship children into programs that promote a healthy spirit, mind, and body. Forever in My Heart, a track from her Light of the Moon EP, was used as background music for a JDRF fundraiser video. Girl Friday encourages everyone to consider donating a little of their time, talent, or treasure to schools, hospitals, or programs in their communities that assist children who are in need of healing, love, and assistance. No deed is too small. Every child counts. -
