About Me |
|
| I was born in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, England- My mother began having me in Hadleigh Castle- that way I'd be a princess (!). My father played piano in a rhythm and blues band in the style of Jerry Lee Lewis. Mum relocated us to Australia when I was four- she became a model and we moved all over the place- we even hiked a lift over the Nullabor of Australia (complete desert). We lived in tents by the ocean and moved often. When we lived in a hotel opposite Bondi Beach in Sydney we sang (with my sister Saffron) in the bath tub and learned all the songs from an easy guitar book (Eagles etc.) an octave higher than the actual key. We'd sing all the songs my mother taught us, "Where have all the flowers Gone" and "Sing Haleluja to the Lord". We had no radio and no tv so I knew nothing about current music- just the few tapes my mum played on a battery operated tape player like Joni Mitchell's Blue Album and Blondie.
At 15 I won a competition on TV for singing and a model agency "Elite" called. I joined them, made excellent money and moved to California at 17. I flew to London to surprise my Father who I had not seen since I was four and we began writing songs together. I then went to UCLA to study acting and film and graduated with a BA. Then off to London to sing! I sang every Sunday in a London bar (with my Dad sometimes joining me on piano) and got a good following- I then met Nick Heyward and we made an album together called The Mermaid and the Lighthouse Keeper. The style was ethereal, melodic, and beautiful.
I couldn't handle another FREEZING winter so I moved back to California. I did a few gigs locally and also sang on Rocco Deluca's new album I Trust You to Kill Me and performed live with him around Los Angeles.
I did a series for VH1 called Home James which is out all over Europe.
I love writing songs, singing songs and singing on other musicians' records. I want to record a solo album and hear The Mermaid and The Lighthouse Keeper songs in gorgeous films... This is the link to buy the album on ITUNES!India Dupre |
