Details:
Born on August 6, 1988, Heather found her passion for music at a very early age. She was born blind, and listening to a variety of music provided her with a rich and diverse musical experience. At five years of age, she enrolled in piano lessons, and at seven, joined a local choir where she discovered her affinity for singing. She began voice lessons at thirteen, and during that year, wrote the CD title song "Hello" - a raw and haunting piece that still brings audience members to tears. Heather's musicality grew, and she grabbed every opportunity to perform.

In the summer of 2004, Heather entered the Klondike Days Talent Explosion, (one of the largest talent competitions in the province of Alberta), for the first time. From over three hundred acts by performers aged twelve to twenty-one, from across Northern and Central Alberta, Heather was selected as one of the eighteen finalists. However it was during the semi-finals that she met one of her judges, producer Brock Skywalker, (formerly of the popular band Captain Tractor), and together they headed into the studio to showcase her writing, singing and piano abilities. Her CD, "Hello" was released on April 24, 2005. Since the release of her CD, Heather has performed in many popular venues in and around her home town of Edmonton, Alberta, and has shared the stage with some of Alberta's finest musicians.

Heather credits artists Amy Lee of Evanescence, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan and Vienna Teng as some of her most inspiring musical influences.

A wise soul, at seventeen years, Heather has many dreams and plans for her music; it is her passion. Her ability to reach audience members, young and old, speaks to the universality of her message, and to a performer who touches the hearts of many. Heather Hutchison is a gifted artist with a very promising future.
