Cindy Nelson is an
extraordinary talented singer/Songwriter with an
addition talent to be able to write songs on demand.
When given a task to write on a particular subject
matter she can compose a tasteful song in a short
amount of time that is strong structurally and commercially.
Some examples of this are;
Three days after 911 she was asked to write a song
about the crisis. Cindy wrote “We’re
Not Falling From Grace” which was featured
in New York City & Paris at their memorial concerts
the next year. Dozens of professional businesses
played it in their place of business, and several
families in California were sent a copy of the song
to play that year at Thanksgiving. Another example
of this is in a two week period of time she wrote
“Running with Scissors” for the soon
to be released motion picture. P.J Bloom the movies
music supervisor was impressed with her capability
to simply read the book, take 15 pages of notes,
and nail the lyrics perfectly.
After recording her first CD she garnered a distribution
contract with Tower Records. This same CD caught
the attention of a Nashville Music producer Neal
James (REM, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Bruce
Springfield, etc.). After Mr. James heard Cindy’s
voice, writing and arranging talents, he arranged
to produce her next CD “Hello” in Nashville.
This master quality CD featured the following professional
musicians; Bob Babbitt (Motown, Elton John, American
Idol, etc.), Byrd Burton (Amazing Rhythm Aces etc.),
Craig Krampf (Melissa Etheridge, Rod Stewart, Steve
Perry, etc.), Darin Favorite (Pam Tillis, Collin
Raye etc.), Jim Kirby (Roy Orbison), Joe Funderburk
(Emmylou Harris, the Judds etc.)
Other accomplishments of Cindy’s
include:
Her song “Running with Scissors” was
written based on the book, and the movie being released
in October 2006. The movie’s music supervisor
is quoted in saying “the songs lyrics are
dead on”.
Several of her songs are on top ten chart list
on internet radio stations.
Her music was selected for a reality-based TV show
that’s being developed, and has been featured
on the TV program, “El Dorado Sings Out”,
for the past four years. Her music is also featured
on the new internet reality show ‘our prisoner.com”.
She has performed for many years in her own band,
and featured in other’s. Stage credits include
Operas, musicals, and vaudeville shows.
Out of a selection of 9000 songs two of Cindy’s
songs were chosen to be featured on the TNT/Warner
Brothers TV series “WitchBlade”.
Loggins Promotions ranked 7 out of 11 of her songs
on her latest CD as top-rated radio Billboard commercial
material.
She now is hired by other musicians to write music
for them, and is emailed often to be part of national
complication CD’s.
Cindy graduated cum laude from college in three
years time with a BA in music, a minor in business,
and was in the top ten of her class. She is the
proprietor of a music teaching establishment in
which she has a waiting list at all times. One of
her own students has recently been approached by
record labels. Cindy is in the process of co-writing
music with this student.
Along with her talent, professionalism, incredible
efficiency, and relentless drive Cindy would and
does turn everything she works on to gold. She is
endeared by all who work with her, and constantly
surprises them with her musical abilities.
