"The story of my life can be summed up in one anecdote from high school. I was selected to be a part of a beauty pageant for teen girls. Really bad idea. I went, and participated, and won the award for being the smartest girl at the beauty pageant."
-Normandie Wilson
Normandie Wilson is a composer and songwriter who sings, speaks, and lives in Los Angeles. Her songs range across all styles and genres of music, focusing mostly on vintage sounding pop, instrumental, and soul sounds. She's known to drop a fine story here and there in the middle of an otherwise all-musical album.She is an avid multi-instrumentalist and plays the piano, organ, Rhodes, mallet instruments, trumpet, French horn, clarinet, and is working on ukulele, guitar, viola, cello, flute and ... wait, we're running out of space.Normandie loves to collaborate with fellow artists from all disciplines and is available to write songs for you. She is also available for session piano work in the greater Los Angeles area. You can contact her through MySpace with questions.Originally from West Virginia, Normandie spent some time bouncing around the country, eventually ending up in New York City. Blah blah blah. She moved to Los Angeles at the very end of 2005 (New Year's Eve, to be exact) and is very happy to be a California girl.
An avid visual artist, her artwork can be seen on her own merchandise and also that of The Facets. She prefers to work in watercolors and colored pencil, and has shown her photography at the Brewery Artwalk in Los Angeles. Normandie also models from time to time, mostly for the scores of photographer friends she has.
In her spare time (ha), Normandie enjoys long walks on the beach. She's a complete jock, and cares waaay more about sports than you ever will. Normandie LOVES fashion and sneakers, almost more than food. (Hard feat for an Italian girl) She is generally considered one extremely hardcore motherfucker and is known to Throw It Down from time to time. Normandie is one fierce bitch on a pair of roller skates, and is also a proud member of the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific.
