My Interests

Member Since: 12/20/2006
Band Members: All song written and played by: Chelsea LatimerChelsea Latimer is a 21 year old singer/songwriter who comes by her passion for music naturally. Growing up in Colorado, her mother owned a successful dance studio that not only gave her the background of dance, but the foundation upon which she would build her influences around. Being inspired daily by all types of music, Chelsea began to piece together her influences from old soul singers, and lyrics of Elton John and James Taylor, the commercial aspects from the pop stars of her generation and meld her own sound. After deciding her arts high school was too restricting, not supporting her in her dream of being a â€œpop starâ€, she home schooled at the age of 15, teaching herself, and eventually graduated a year early, quickly moving to Los Angeles. Though she has a strong foundation in dance, theater, writing, and acting, arriving in L.A. meant one thing, the pursuit of music. After living and struggling for a year she attended Musicians Institute, where she very first touched the keys of a piano, only in Oct of 2005, and began writing her own songs putting her success in her own hands. This was not her first attempt of writing; in fact, she has sung and written in different genres, ultimately leading to her true sound. Now Chelsea hopes to continue that success of the mere beginning of her career, as an all around artist. Hoping to land a record deal, and expand on from the foundation and vision she has laid out.
Influences: Life in general but people: Bonnie Raitt, Susan Tedeschi, Missy Higgins, Patty Griffin, Joss Stone, Amel Larrieux, Lauryn Hill, Goapele, India Arie, Gavin Degraw, Dolly Parton, Amos Lee, Stevie Nicks, Jill Scott, Elton John, James Taylor, Al Green, Aretha,Janis Joplin, Sarah MacLachlan, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Erykah Badu, Damien Rice, Counting Crows, Jeff Buckley, Imogen Heap, Fionna Apple, :) aah there's too many....Everything I've ever heard has shaped the way I listen, create and feel music.

Record Label: unsigned

Target, Abercrombie and rockin out.

A wailing teeny bopper singing some sort of homage to summer and nail polish blasted through the speakers in Abercrombie loud of enough to bring me back to earth with a painful jolt. And most likely a...
