heatherG never chased a boy except to kick his butt. This rebellious, ADD tomboy played soccer as a toddler without her shirt on, and always pushed to the front to be the star in family movies. And she loved New Kids On The Block.
Heather's career began when she won the first place trophy in pop vocals at age nine, performing "Can You Read My Mind" with fevered pitch and received a pink electric Strat guitar for a birthday present. While enduring High School in rural Philadelphia she sang select choir and hung out in New York and hometown Doylestown, matching the roots of pop star Pink as well as American Idol's Justin Guarini. She practiced performance by wowing crowds at hometown karaoke while studying folk guitar, Opera vocals, and rocking out to Nine Inch Nails.
Heather finally hit the road after graduating, when she moved with a friend to New York City, and became a student of the 1990's Rave Scene. This amazing era of freedom and exploration introduced heather to the endless, exciting world of electronic music, drum n' bass, jungle, and hip-hop cultures. Heather and her friends lived to create and listen to beats and especially to dance and she heard electronica playing in her head day and night. heatherG decided there had to be a place in mainstream music where Jewel meets DJ Icey, and where breakbeats meet Britney.
After the craziness of New York, heather opted to clear her head a bit by heading out alone on foot for a solid year to travel throughout Europe, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, and Malaysia with her guitar and backpack, where she found her voice as a songwriter and folk-pop performer. She returned with unmatchable vision and seasoning in every aspect of character, well beyond her 22 years.
Heather quickly began performing throughout Philadelphia, where she was met with great reception. She has since signed numerous development and publishing deals, and has moved with the industry to Los Angeles, where she looks forward to a major label debut.
heatherG creates an empowering, intelligent sound in the vein of Nelly Furtado, Ani DiFranco, Gwen Steffani and Lauryn Hill. But it can only be defined as original Phillystyle Roots Pop, influenced by Drum N Bass, Ska, Jazz, Folk & Urban Life.
"Heather's songwriting, presence, and performance is a beautiful
enigma; puzzling to the pop world, beautiful to those who want to hear the
truth. She does not front or compromise, she knows what she is and knows how to use it and that is the future of things to come to our bland American idol wasteland. Let Her loose. Treat yourself to some heatherG you will be set free knowing you are not alone."
-Joey Mahoney Philadelphia promoter, booking agent, co-founder Songspot.org
Heather's extensive experience allows her to mastermind every angle of her music. She is well versed in guitar, vocals, hip-hop dance, as well as beat production. She produces and programs all of her own live beats on samplers. Her fans in Philly have coned heather's sampler, "The Box". Her fiercely original songs are a mixture of raw honesty, infectious hooks, and fun bouncy good times, oozing energy and positivity- songs which transcend and pervade popular music today.
"Unique and different is an understatement when it comes to heather
G. Her vibrant personality and outgoing style are just a few
characteristics that one notices when catching one of her
performances. The music is a breath of fresh air in a stagnant female
genre. If you are looking for a performer that does something a little
different than the others, then look no further."
-Michael John/Scrunch Recordings
Del Oro music and David Longoria anticipate the release of Fantasy Girl. heatherG presently tours regularly throughout the Los Angeles area.
