About Me

"April Start gives pop music a fresh feel with real songs and clever hooks."
A small town girl born in Pincher Creek, Alberta and raised in Spokane, Washington, April Start moved to NYC at the age of 18 to pursue a promising music career. She immediately immersed herself in writing and recording what would be her debut record, Changes, self-released in 2005. Several songs from that CD were featured in hit Disney movies, such as Eddies Million Dollar Cook-Off and Zenon Z3, Guiding Light and the popular television show Cheerleader Nation. April’s distinctive voice can be heard on the theme to TLC’s Makeover Train. Her live performances have taken her to Pensacola, Florida (to open for the legendary Little Feat), across the states for NACA showcases, and to many top stages in NY and NJ.
Right now, April is working on hit material for her upcoming CD, that is already getting accolades and placements:

• The positive, pop, teen-anthem, This is Me, was licensed for use as the opening song for a Hollywood theater production.
• Stupid Boy was placed in a Ricola video featuring ASCAP songwriters; the story is featured in the summer ’07 edition of ASCAP’s Playback Magazine.
• As the most downloaded artist on the UK based music website Amazing Tunes, April was whisked to London for a private BBC showcase in June 2007. The performance was deemed an outstanding triumph.
• April’s BBC performance was written up in London’s Metro Weekly, which boasts a readership of over 3 million.
• Start’s fan base spans the US and beyond, including over 36,000 MySpace friends and over 1,000,000 plays.
With a hot live band, showcases on the horizon, and no shortage of hit songs in the pipeline, April Start is changing the way people look at pop music. Irresistible, clever and perfectly executed, April proves pop is no longer a dirty word.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/19/2005
Band Website: aprilstart.com
Influences: There are so many artists that influence my music that I'm sure I'll leave out a few! From early on I listened to a lot of Whitney Houston, Barbara Streistand and Celine Dion.

As I got a little older I got into country music, Reba McEntire, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes and Bonnie Rait.

Now I listen to everything from Dave Matthews to Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrissette, Sarah McLachlan, Patty Griffin. I love, Carole King, Luther Vandross, Lisa Loeb, Mindy Smith, Jeremy Camp, Vanessa Carlton, Carly Simon, Eric Clapton, James Taylor, Shawn Colvin....

I could write a list that goes on forever when it comes to music!!! I enjoy and listen to so many different genres of music that I feel my own music reflects and is influenced by a little bit of everything that I've ever listened to!
