INTERVIEW FRIDAY: Independent Recording Artist MINDY GLEDHILL

Interview Friday has been quite a hit!  We are so excited to be able to share with you all an interview with Mindy Gledhill about being an independent recording artist.  Our family owns all of the lullaby CD's that she was a part of and we absolutely LOVE her new album.  What a gorgeous voice!

A big thank you to Mindy for taking the time to give us all her experience and advice!  Enjoy!  (PS- Be sure to check out how to connect with Mindy at the end of the post and her LATEST MUSIC VIDEO POSTED AFTER THIS ONE!)

Interview Questions:

Q.  Please tell us about yourself and what people, influences, events or desires led you to your profession.

As a child, I noticed that music came naturally to me.  I loved lying on the ground under the piano when my sisters would practice Debussy and Rachmoninoff.  Soon, I began to hear harmonies in all things with an audible frequency, such as the microwave or the honking horn of the family van.  It wasn’t until I was 16 that I began any formal training with voice lessons.  But even then, I didn’t make auditions for the high school Chamber Choir or the school musical.  I sought for experience that would make me better.  I found an internship at a recording studio and went to every class I could find on improving myself musically.  After failing the written test three times to attend the school of music in college, I finally passed by the skin of my teeth.  Not long after that I signed a record deal with a faith centered record label in Salt Lake City.  Since that time, I released one record with them and two on my own.
