Influences
I grew up listening to classic 80's pop radio. ... you know the greats .. like Debbie Gibson, New Kids, Jon Bon Jovi, um Jem and the Holograms... the list just goes on and on. .. ha ha.
Okay, to be honest I really didn't have a great musical varity to choose from. I didn't grow up in this musical genius family or anything like that. But the radio did give me a sense of pop melody, and it did expose me to big voiced singers like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. I loved listening to their range. That would always stop me in my tracks. I remember the first time I heard Mariah Carey's "someday" when she sang that high note... I was floored and mesmerized. I took classical voice lessons from junior high on and I remember singing scales and vocal exercises 3 or 4 times a day.
I love how the human voice is unlike any other instrument... it has an unlimited capitiy to explore with .... You can play with textures and the expression of words to really bring them to life!

I'm adding to my bio until I get or write myself a new one.
Here's a brief update on life....
Right now. I'm off the road. Enjoying life on solid ground. Writing only when inspired.
Enjoying taking time to breathe. Doing many odd jobs... as many artists in Nashville do.
Reading some great books. Doing my yoga practice via help from some Rodney Yee video tapes... (yes I still watch tapes). I'm learning how to love more and fight less. (Kisses for y'all)
.... Taking "ME" less seriously. And educating the "ME" on adding more fun to my little plot in life.
Life is Simple and good.
and now for the official professional bio....... ;-)
xoxoxo ...Hi.d
A Fiery-spirit, Heidi Schwartz expresses pain and passion on her poignant debut record Firefighter. Heidi uniquely melds visual art with musical art as she creates an image for each song. This allows the listener to feel it both sonically and visually. With color and sound, Firefighter represents fighting the pain and the shameful things in the past in hopes of change. Like Heidi says in her lyrics on the title track, I dont know how I will ever let it go, I dont know when the red will not show, ashes of the past linger damage I can no longer mask. She continues with, Fight for love that will put out the flames, be a shield when the sparks start up my pain.
Firefighter is a highly personal record. Heidi deals lyrically with the skeletons in her closet from growing up with an unstable father and distorted family life. I think its been a process for me, seeing whats real and not real and not just sweep it under the rug, says the singer-songwriter. This record helped her deal with it, mourn it and move on. Art is a place to be honest about these ugly emotions that people dont want to acknowledge. Its a safe place to put it. Its the ultimate metamorphosis to make ugly things beautiful. And thats exactly what she does on her brilliant debut.
After a grueling, yet productive 2 years playing her guitar on the road, the singer/songwriter returned to her home in Nashville to record her first full-length album. She recorded her heartfelt debut with producer Tres Sasser (Will Hoge) and acclaimed engineer David Henry (Josh Rouse, Guster, David Mead). The result is a musical journey on lifes emotional roller coaster, beautifully capturing the depths of despair on the ambient Great Depression and the strength of restoration on the spirit-filled Falling Down. Heidi poured her soul into this record and delivers a full listening experience.
Each song on this record is a painting, but not just in the listeners head. Heidi actually created a visual work representing each song. As an artist she is a songwriter, singer and painter. She combines all of her talents as she sees them as a whole. In her paintings, lyrics from the songs whirl through the work combining the visual art with her sonic landscapes. Its a moving experience to listen to the songs and then see the paintings that they inspire. The artwork opens a different door into each song, expanding the album into a cinematic experience. Heidi explains why she merges the two arts, I think very visually when I write. The illustrated lyrics help me compose the melodies. They fuel each other. Firefighter confronts pain with passion and leaves one with a sense of hope in the midst of the angry flames of the human endeavor.
