Who is talking to your heart these days?
That’s funny! That would be my husband.

What’s he saying?
He’s telling me that I need to take care of the laundry.

Did your husband inspire you to record “Tell It To My Heart”?
No, this entire project was the brainchild of Peace Bisquit owner Bill Coleman. I have wanted to work with Bill for a very long time. He’s just so good at what he does, and
his artists are always on the cutting edge. This was all his idea!

“Tell It To My Heart” is a forceful track. Are you dominant in relationships?
I like to think that I am, but I’m not. It depends on the situation.

What specific demands do you place on your partner?
Only one. That he love me for me. Nothing else.

Is it more important that your hubby tell you he loves you or show you?
It’s always nice to hear, but if you can’t back that up with some action, the words are useless.

What’s up with ‘80s music coming back?
It seems all music eventually comes around again. There’s really no rhyme or reason to it. It ebbs and flows and charts its own course.

What did you love best about the ‘80s?
Prince, Madonna and Taylor Dayne, oh yeah!

Have you performed with Dayne at any of the Pride events?
I have never performed with her. That would be a dream come true!

How do you imagine she will feel about your covering her song?
I hope that she likes it. It’s meant as a complete homage to her.

What would you rather: her lips or hair?
Lips, definitely. I have enough hair. Everywhere! Even in places I don’t want it. I have my mom’s lips. They are a little on the thin side. So I’ll take the full lips. Sorry, mom!

Will this be your first time performing BPM?
BPM, yes, but I have performed the venue a few times when it was XL. It’s a great space with a killer sound.

How will you rock the house?
Vocals baby. Vocals!

Chad Jack will be spinning.
I love Chad! He’s so damn cute.

How long have you known each other?
We have known each other for over 10 years. I met him right after signing with JVM Records in 2004. Chad has been kind of a fixture in my musical life.

He has remixed almost every record I have done. He is super talented and has an incredible music sensibility.

Chad’s single. Do you know the type of guy that speaks to his heart?
I have meddled in friends’ love lives before, and it’s never gone well. I think I’ll leave the matchmaking to him. He’s successful in every aspect of his world. Chad can handle himself.
