Details:
Pi has been singing since the tender age of 3, when she sang her first solo in her preschool choir. Pi left high school @ 16 to begin a music degree at her local Junior College. After graduating with a double major in Jazz bass, and voice, she spent the next few years playing as a top tier studio and touring musician in the San Francisco Bay area.
In 2001, bored with the sideman/ backup singer role, Pi teamed up with Tommy Boy artist/ producer Pfilbryte and recorded her first cd, âIrrationalâ. The response to Irrational was overwhelming, leading Pi to a Management deal with NYCâs Alabina Entertainment, a European record deal with the French Atoll Music label, and the placement of all 12 of Irrationalâs tracks on various TV shows.
In 2004, Pi moved to Los Angeles to be with the love of her life, and released her second CD ââbeat mining in dark placesâ. The cd was highly acclaimed by critics, and licensed to independent films and TV shows, (see PRESS and TV/FILM below).
On her newest cd, âthe curse of the songwriterâ, Pi began crafting a new sound, which Veteran Engineer Randy Wine (U2, Springsteen, Melissa Etheredge) has called âtotally uniqueâ. A blend of reggae, hip-hop, funk and New Orleans grooves, with super-organic acoustic instruments, âcurseâ has all the âfeel goodâ elements of these random styles, while first and foremost, delivering Piâs powerfully emotional voice and lyrics. âThe curse of the songwriterâ will be released in Feb. 2007, on Piâs label, âThatCrazyChick Musicâ.

Press
Her crystal-clear voice is flexible and flawless, rising to the call put forth by her lyrics and instrumentation. With great bass lines and interesting beats, Beat Mining in Dark Places is undoubtedly the most fun you can have this winter. Singer Magazine- March 2005

Catchy riffs and vocals, "Beat Mining In Dark Places" blends harmonic vocals with groovy beats that make the body move. Having a sound that seems to blend country-like pop rock sounds, PI tells a story with her voice. Sing-a-longs are a must with this CD. Learn the lyrics and sing along and I guarantee it will boost your spirit. Michele Palulis â Space Junkies Magazine- March 2005

My hippy-trippy groove girl is back. About time. I reviewed Pi's debut album way too long ago, and now she sends me a CD even better than that one. Pi is one of those artists who can sing a song about depression and make you want to do an Ashlee Simpson jig around the room. You come away from this CD with a smile in your soul. It's cheaper than actual therapy and a lot more fun. Indie-music.com -Jennifer Layton - March 2005 Featured Artist
