Since I havn’t found anyone literarily gifted to write my biography for me, I attempt it myself.
It begins in 1999. When I began my first kick at a solo songwriting and touring career. These hatchlings would turn into a self titled EP. Five songs, produced, recorded and mastered under the mentorship of Jason Plumb, formerly of The Walton’s with juno awards and gold records for songwriting in his recent past. The first single Cowboy, was picked up by numerous television series, independent films and proceeded to sell a couple thousand copies with only Saskatchewan and British Columbia supports, while enjoying some commercial and independent radio airplay, I am still receiving calls from people who want to use Cowboy five years later. Shortly thereafter I began booking more of western Canada, playing major folk festivals, and opening for the likes of Holly McNarland, The Northern Pikes, the Sky Diggers, The Wild Strawberries, Bill Bourne and Jason Plumb and the Walton’s. All the while a documentary called “Karaoke Night at the Plains was airing nationally on CTV and CBC. It showcases my earlier work, and the beginnings of my budding musical career. This show has been airing continuously for two years nationally on CTV and CBC, and most recently SCN television. I would spend the next few years touring, writing, obtaining my theatre performance B.F.A and writing some more. The best of these songs ended up being recorded and supported by CBC radio for there Gallery series, Christmas 2003 and has aired nationally as a whole program three times since. The CD is titled Live In A Shu Box. “A beautiful spiritual empowering and uplifting piece of work, I love every song” Susie B at 91.3 FM Tucson, AZ Radio. A record that showcases my love for vocal style and ability, coupled with my breadth and width as a pop/folk/rock songwriter. Since its release in February 2003, I have toured three countries. Mexico was the start of this tour and would spawn a new round of songs for the next Heidi Little record to be released for 2005, within two weeks in Mexico I had performed live on three television programs complete with a translator, You said was being played on five radio stations in the upper populated regions of Mexico and seven hundred copies of the disc were sold. What would follow that would be an eighteen date independent solo tour of a variety of venues throughout Texas, Arizona and California, in support of Live in a Shu Box and my new material. The web site of Heidi Little has gone up sixteen hundred hits since July. Radio stations across the US, Mexico, England, and Canada are playing various tracks. I recently returned to Regina to prepare for a showcase at the Blue Bird Café in Nashville TN. That ended up being supported by Saskatchewan Recording Industry Association and the Government of Saskatchewan. Currently I am in the pre production process for my next release, and preparing a band for various festivals in the spring/summer for 2005. The songwriting circuit has proven successful as of recently with "ANGEL" coming in 3rd runner up in the Windrift International Songwriting Contest, and a Regional win with "Movin On" off of the new record that came with a chance at a National win in Toronto for Canadian Music Week/Rock 94.5FM March 2-5. A music video is in the development stages for the new track off the upcoming record called “Movin On”. This will be released in March 05. Currently I am involved in a radio campaign for the US and Canada. And a one hour timeslot on the Artmusic Coffeehouses web site out of New Jersey was a prize from a songwriting contest that has spawned the planning stages of an Atlantic side tour to surround that slot. Headed back to rock the US of A for the Spring 2005.
