http://www.cindyoneil.comI have many projects on my to do list, including recording music I've written in the last few years, more co-writing and collaboration on projects with/for other artists. I'm also getting back into doing voice over work.1."Lookin At Love" vocals, co-write Parder/O'Neil. "Love Scene" vocals.
Influences: - i always have a hard time with that question. the way a song affects me is more of an influence (for me) than who recorded/wrote it. i've always enjoyed listening to all styles of music. artists that i particularly like are: Sting, Melissa Etheridge, Billie Holiday, Lyle Lovett, Glen Miller, Sara Vaughn, Bonnie Raitt, Della Reese, Billy Joel, Benny Goodman, Bruce Coburn, the Gipsy Kings, the Tragically Hip and John Mellencamp. for classical i would have to say Rachmaninoff.
Sounds Like: Described vocally as a cross between Janis Joplin and Nana Mouskouri.
