Folk, rock, rhythm, mystic mixed up in a cup of spicy tea and a raspy voice would give you a taste of this inspiring, positive blend of folk meets intelligent lyricism, meets the sweetness of the girl next door.
Dusty old vinyl records from the Spring Green library. Whatever she could get her hands on, Judy Garland, The Carpenters, Puff the Magic Dragon, you know the typical choices from the 1980’s children’s collection. Widad would copy the songs, singing all the time, and then make up songs about anything she could think of. Then some weekends below the talking of her parent’s and their friends she could hear the melancholy harmonies of the old 1950’s and 1960’s country singers, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers and Roy Orbison. Then she would sneak out of bed to sit on the stairs to memorize the songs while no one was watching.
It was always the artists who were able to pull at your heart, that attracted Widad to music and performing. The ability to dig deep into some unknown, unspeakable place, take people with you and bring them back renewed, inspired and changed somehow even if it was subtle.
She left home, to start a career in the entertainment business but instead of music she studied theatre. She learned the art of performance and communicating to a wide audience a theme, a lesson, that piece of inspiration that gives to the them that experience of refection. Then in 1995, as a favor to friends she was working with at a theatre company, she helped complete the writing for the song, Council of the Sun. Driving rhythms, sweet harmonies and positive lyrics met with rave reviews and questions of when the next songs were coming.
She left college with a guy and a guitar to San Francisco where they played the difficult coffeehouse and tavern open mics learning the craft of songwriting and performing for hard won audiences. Keeping the marriage of theatre and music, she would perform shows with theatre companies and then music in between. Her passion for acting took her to North Carolina putting the music on hiatus until she was taken to Columbus, Ohio with another theatre company.
While in Ohio in 1999 her peformances on stage with a live band brought rave reviews from die hard supporters and out of this came her first solo songwriting. This is when she wrote her first album Eve. This took her to Austin, TX with radio, T.V. to follow and a weekly gig on Sixth Street. Then she went deeper into her solo songwriting and traveled to Los Angeles to learn more about the craft and entertainment of music.
That is when EAST met WEST ...
