THERE ARE MANY ARTISTS OUT THERE IN THIS WORLD WHO MAKE EXCELLENT MUSIC AND IT IS THEIR TIME, OUR TIME, SMILE HEY THANK GOD THIS WONDERFUL TECHNOLOGY HAPPENED IN OUR LIFE TIME OR OUR MUSIC WOULD BE GATHERING DUST ON OUR SHELVES AND WE WOULD DISAPPEAR INTO OBSCURITY.Pauly Ortiz was born in the quiet county village in Essex, UK and at an early age she had already began showing a keen interest in music. She started piano lessons at the age of 6 and loved every minute of it. Her original dream was to be classical pianist. By age 13 onwards she was shyly composing songs on her piano combining her poetry with vocals as quietly as possible in her parents little front room of their humble council house. Pauly loved to play and sing in the dark, and she still loves that to this day. She devoted her life to honing her talents as pianist /vocalist. She sessioned for some TV adverts and pursued her path by recording some of her songs in various studios. She then visited various record companies and gained a lot of interest with her music. Pauly went to various tutors, one of them being Eric Gilder who taught at the Trinity College of Music in London and also had some singing lessons with Arnold Rose, also taking a few drama lessons from another tutor in London. Pauly is the embodiment of many great singers with the abandon of Joplin, the drama of streisand, the vib of Randy Crawford, the Soul of Aretha and the unmistakeable voice of Heaven on Earth!She then met John Hamilton at EQ Studios who then ran a studio in Watford and they recorded some songs. He had a strong belief in her talent and took her to a UK independant (Eagle Records) where she was signed to an album deal under the name of Jo Anna Forte, and released an album called Lady's Fire. This was released through CBS Europe. There were also two single releases from that album 'One of the Chosen Few' and 'Jimi's Hi-Fi'. Through her manager she would meet Joe and he was the producer and session musician on Lady's Fire, and the two have been inseparable ever since marrying in 1982 and in 1984 giving birth to their son Paul Antonio Ortiz - a multi-instrumentalist now widely known throughout the Internet as Chimpspanner.Joe (Jose') Ortiz was born and raised in the Bronx in New York as the son of a radio personality and veteran composer and began playing music at age 4. By age 14, he was a multi-instrumentalist playing bass, piano, guitar and percussion as well as lead and background vocalist for many of the soul bands in Queens NYC. Joe also honed his talents as an awesome musician and producer, having gigged and sessioned with such luminaries as Dave Grusin, Dave Valentin, Ruben Blades, Steve Gadd, Anthony Jackson and many more. He also toured Europe for two years with Inner Circle as their lead and rhythm guitarist, so he was more than ready to meet the challenge of producing Pauly's first LP - Lady's Fire which was released on CBS Europe. Some really great musicians worked on this project such as Pino Palladino (bass), Arrun Ahmun (Drums), Joe Ortiz ..boards, guitar and backing vocals, and Pauly on piano and vocals. This time was to be some of the happiest days for Joe and Pauly. Two two singles were released- One Of The Chozen Few and Jimmy's HiFi from her debut Album ...Lady's Fire.In 1988, Ahmet Ertegen, one of the founders of Atlantic Records got to hear them through someone who worked at WEA UK and asked that they be signed up. Thanks to the belief of Bruce Carbone (now at Universal) Pauly and Joe were signed. the two were label mates with Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, YES, Led Zepplin and ACDC as they signed up to the world famous Atlantic Records in the USA which saw the release of their first joint LP 'Dedication'. The single 'On An Angel's Wing' continues to receive recognition to this day as one of the classiest and well crafted soul/pop songs of the eighties billing with such names as Will Downing, Evelyn Champagne King and Karen White.They have continued to carry out numerous assignments over the years, and always writing and recording their latest compositions. With both of them, their hearts are music and music is always in their hearts. Cant get away from it even if they tried !!!!!!!
