The Fabulous Miss Wendy- Life Of A Rock Star


 

wendyThe Fabulous Miss Wendy is a punk-inspired rock princess from Hollywood. She has come a long way since picking up a guitar at the age of ten and becoming a virtuoso two years later.

The Fabulous Miss Wendy went on to beat hundreds of girls to nab the lead spot in a Nickelodeon all-girl rock band and later carried her rock-n-roll message to American troops stationed in Bagdad on two musical tours-of-duty. Upon returning, Wendy finished third in the United States’ “World Battle of the Bands Competition” and won a “VH-1 Recommended Artist” award.

Wendy became one of ten finalists to become Gibson Guitars’ “SG Gal” and her video “I Like Boys” was nominated for LOGO’s “Ultimate Sexiest Videos” weekly contest beside videos from artists including Ciara, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and The Pussycat Dolls.

In 2011, The Fabulous Miss Wendy successfully released her debut, self-titled, full length CD produced by Devo’s Gerald Casale, engineered by Goo Goo Dolls’ wizard, Paul David Hagar, also of Avril Levine and All American Rejects fame, and driven by the fierce pounding of super-drummer Josh Freese. VH-1 used six of the tracks on the successful hit reality television shows “The Pick-Up Artist” and “Tough Love”.

Slash later invited her to join him on tour and, following the tour, she hit the road before working with legendary producer Kim Fowley on her next album.

Today she talks us through a day in the life of a rock star. “I wake up at like 5 a.m. because I like to, work out, do my guitar exercises, do my vocal exercises, do my creative exercises, answer my fan mail and my email and all that, then go to sound check, do an interview some days, then go to the club and play,” she said. “I’ve learned things from mentors, I’ve learned things from the Musician’s Institute, from taking guitar lessons for ten years, working with amazing producers, but a lot of it I had to invent myself.

“I’ve always heard music in my head, ever since I was a little kid, and if I just relax and focus and feel the quiet, I feel like I can sense the music. I’m very fortunate that I can write songs quickly, it just sort of bubbles out of me. I can’t really stop it, it’s just who I am. I write a good mix of happy and sad songs but I tend to only release the feel-good ones. I want to give people the entertainment that I want to see and generally the type of entertainment I want to see is uplifting. I want something that’s going to make me happy, not bum me out.”
