A "Random" Career - Sheena Easton
Thursday, April 12, 2012
A far cry from the overscheduled
musical career she experienced in the 80s, Sheena Easton, now 52, is enjoying a
slowed down, well-paced life. Easton's rise to fame began when she was
showcased on the TV Series "The Big Time”, a documentary which gave amateur
artists the opportunity to achieve professional ambitions. Subsequently, she
was offered a multi-album deal from EMI Records and soon rose to the top of the
pop charts with her singles "Morning Train (9 to 5)" and "For
Your Eyes Only".
Easton also had the privilege to
work with world renowned Artist/Writer/Producer, Prince. He saw Easton on The
Tonight Show and asked her to lay down a vocal track for his song
"Sugar Walls". From there, they became good friends. "He would
come into town and say 'Come down and hear something I'm doing' and I'd listen
to a track," Easton recalls in the April-May edition of Odeum. Click here to check out the full article.
