About Me

MY NEW CD IS AVAILABLE AT LOTS OF DIFFERENT DOWNLOAD SITES for example...itunes,puretracks.com, cdbaby.com HMV.ca, bestbuy etc etc its not hard to find.........support an INDIE!!! I am presently working with HMG records of Nashville who are looking after my radio campaign for the USA. I will also be working with Paul loggins of California who will be working my new release in March 2008. www.judykanyo.com !!!!!! Check it out!!! Well lets see where do I begin to tell you about myself...... I was born in Brantford Ontario Canada in the same room as "the great one" N.H.L. hockey star WAYNE GRETSKY!!! So... I guess I,m the" great one" number two!!! LOL!! I had 5 sisters so there was lots of fights when I was growing up and occasionally we still have the odd tiff... my one brother ran away to join the army just to escape us girls!! I was gifted with all the artistic talents starting with art ... drawing, painting, sculpture,etc and won a art schlarship in high school to attend art college. Then the airlines called and I quit college in pursuit of fun and travel as a stewardess !!! My first time in an airplane was as a "stew" and I had a nervous passenger on their first flight that asked me "what will it be like??' I was so honest I said I didnt know cause it was my first time too!! But through all this, my big love was singing but I was just so darn shy!!... I didnt want people to think I was showing off, so I didnt sing publically til 4 years ago at a karaoke bar. That led to a radio sponsered competition and the making of a debut cd . That cd did well on secondary radio and award nominations in Europe including song of the year, top artist, top female vocalist, future star....www.europeancma.com click on awards 2006. Soon it was time to start cd number two. Release of my new cd NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND was in the summer 2007 and was nominated for album of the year 8 weeks later! Also my band is coming together quickly THE JUDY KANYO BAND . For more info check out my website www.judykanyo.com Thanks to my fans and everyone who has supported me . Lots of exciting things are coming up on the horizon. Stay tuned !!!! Also I will be performing at the annual radio seminar at the Nashville Convention Centre on Mar 4, 5, and 6 2008. IN the early summer I will be on a musical tour of Europe (Holland Belgium and France) and have tentative plans on an Australian tour in September!!! As details become available to me I will pass them on to you here and on my website! Love and happiness to you all!!!! Big Hug! Judy
