Info from her Website.
I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1964.
My mother said i was a happy baby and that´s why she named me "Felicia".
I was the middle child. One of 5 girls raised by her (Ann Marie Ford) in Toledo Ohio.
She insisted that we all learn a musical instrument. I, unlike the rest of my siblings
had been drawn to the arts at the age of 9 when i wrote my first book of poetry,
so to me it was a pleasure and an opportunity to express myself, not just something "mama-made-us-do".
She watched me carefully and when she noticed that I was serious,
she started paying for me to have my first music lessons.
So I practiced, and practiced, and practiced.
I even ended up composing for  the junior orchestra in my high school.
When I was 16, I was sent to Mexico to play with the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra.
I learned no spanish, but i did learn a lot about people, music and culture.
Even though I loved classical music, I was sure by the age of 18 I didn´t fit in the "Classical world" so i made a new career choice.
I joined the US army to become a Motion Picture Specialist, but continued to play my viola in wine cellars in San Fransisco.
After leaving the Army, I married Harald Heiselbetz, had two children (Denice and Tashan) and divorced.
Later I decided to revive my career.
I went from writing songs for others to writing and singing for myself.
I recorded my first CD "That´s all I want" in 1992. This was the beginning of my singing career.
I started working as a cook to support my children,
but continued to look for opportunities to write songs
for other artists and perform when ever I had the time.
As my children grew less dependent on me, I decided to try a career in music.
I learned quickly that I had more opportunites to perform when doing cover songs,
than just original so I decided to become a Cover Singer, but also performing some of my songs...
...and it worked!
I prefer to sing soul, pop and gospel, but have learned to accommodate specific musical requirements,
by stretching my style through many differnent areas: including, rock, pop, reggae, jazz and blues.
Since then I have had 1000 live performances,
over 200 registered songs and made various contacts to studio producers,
record companies, live clubs.
And now?
Now, my children are grown and I am still writing,
performing, and will be producing my 4th CD within the next year!
If you are interested in hearing a demo from either of my projects,
please write me and I will send it to you as mp3.
If you are interested in buying any of my CDs please do the same.
If you would just like to purchase individual songs, please contact me under

Thanx for your time  and remember...
....life just doesn´t work without music!
Sincerely,
Felicia Peters
