Sex and Love

The lights increased from their faded state and the seats began to clear as a slight murmur rumbled into a louder chatter throughout the auditorium. Crawling through the rows of poinsettias that lined the steps to the stage, she couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of excitement as the crimson forest brushed across her cheeks. Breaking through the line of Christmas shrubbery, she arrived at the home stretch. The wooden platform was laden with cracks and chips from church performances past, choirs stepping gaily to the praises that their voices emitted - hardly noticing the chips of paint that their shoes took with them as souvenirs; and children performing the annual renditions of the birth of baby Jesus as they shuffled across the stage in familiar wearing patterns. Adding to the old stage’s roster, Phee took her place behind the microphone and, seeing that it was still on, allowed her lungs to belt forth whatever they saw fit – which, being that she was five, probably consisted of every church song she could think of with a dash of Mary Had a Little Lamb mixed in there… adorable non-the-less. This is Phee. She has a goal and will stop at nothing until her goal of becoming a top tier performer is reached, and exceeded. She aims to have her album completed by the fall of 2014 in order to begin live performances. Through multiple live performances, wide distribution of the completed music, press releases and social networking, Phee will market her personal brand. Phee is turning herself inside out and giving all that she has to the world so that people might be entertained. Inside of this world is old school glamour with punk edge and ideals which meet the new world modernism found in Hollywood today. Phee is an energetic and magnetic bundle full of sparkles, lace and plucky comic relief. She has a message of hope and reprieve and inspiration for the world but in order to inspire people to move mountains, she feels it is important that she show them that it can be done – and show them she will. As a child, Phee was banned from listening to ‘secular’ music aside from the B52’s, The Carpenters, The Spice Girls and the soundtrack to Titanic – which explains a lot about her looking back. Every Sunday she looked forward to going to church because she got to sing for the first half of the service. She would then go home and study every artist’s information that she had access to in order to find out just how they did what they did so that she might be able to do it too. By the time Phee was 12, she was writing songs with her best friend creating under-appreciated Billboard toppers. Then, at the age of 14, she scoured the backs of her CD collection, writing down the names of producers so that she could tape record herself and send out samples to all of them in hopes that someone would pick her up so she could make an album. Upon making her plan known, she was told that she had a character voice and that the producers would not even look twice at what Phee had to offer, that she would just be wasting her time. So, she shifted her sights on acting. While studying acting in middle and high school, she learned dance through three years of cheerleading. If the cheerleaders had it their way, she would have never made the squad but she was a determined little freshman and when she didn’t make the team, she collected signatures and started a junior varsity team that month. Needless to say, she made varsity the next year. She likes to leave a legacy when she accomplishes goals, and now she knows how to dance - Win, win… right? Immediately after high school, Phee moved to Los Angeles where she studied acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts on Sunset and LaBrea. Phee then sought out World Audience Management upon receiving notice that they were taking on an intern a mere couple of months after moving to Hollywood. When she heard no word back after submitting her resume, she drove the hour and a half to Santa Monica with her Chihuahua, Mushu, bought some coffee and walked into World Audience. Meeting Kazy Brown and Larry Jacobson she explained that she happened to be in the area with her dog and thought they might want some coffee and another copy of her resume. She got the position and after a year and a half of interning with World Audience, Phee went on to intern for Warner Brothers Records in the New Media department. In that time, Phee transferred to the Musicians Institute where she majored in Vocals and Music Business. Moving back to her hometown of Denver, she focused on honing her writing skills in addition to her live performance and overall vocal ability through her involvement in musical projects Reunion Drive and Smallz the Cat. Phee is still involved with Smallz the Cat, the four piece post-punk band. Being that Smallz is an extension of Phee, herself, she aims to continue the nurturing of Smallz in the future, alongside her solo pop-oriented musical endeavors. In addition to music, Phee is heavily involved with NAMI and ending the negative stigma against mental illness and bringing awareness to the realities that mental health is physical health. A geek to the core, she is a host for a sci-fi fantasy talk radio show called Master Control and is an avid supporter of alternative lifestyles. This is Phee. She is serious. She is funny. She is awesome. She is crazy, but always in a fun way. She is sexy. She tells her own story and the stories of those around her. She provokes thought and brings reprieve. This is Phee and the world will be hearing from her.
