Exciting news!
Valerie's podcast for singers, Living A Vocal Life, has launched! We know, there are enough podcasts out there already. But this one's different! It's a podcast for and about singers.
Whether you're a singer or not, the stories you'll hear on Living A Vocal Life are one of a kind. Valerie interviews vocalists of all genres, in different stages of their careers, including singers who've been on the Billboard charts and those teaching the next generation. What do they have in common? They're all performers with incredible stories to tell and experiences to share.
In the first episode, Valerie talks with Moana Wolfgramm from the 80s band The Jets.
““I first met Moana when we were on tour together in 1986. She was just 12 years old, traveling around the country in a tour bus with her seven siblings. The Jets were on their first world tour, which had started in 1985 after the release of their platinum-selling record on MCA “The Jets.” From 1985 to 1990 the band accumulated eight top 10 singles. “Crush On You” — which peaked at number three in July of 1986, probably bumped our song off the charts!”
”
In their conversation, you'll learn what being in a band with your seven siblings is like, and how losing a gig and being stranded in Minneapolis led to the group landing a record deal. In the early 90s, The Jets fell off the charts. It was then that Moana re-discovered herself through the love of family and simple living in Hawaii, and discovered what success means to her.
