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 | |||
