We found Tracy Hamlin and both Catherine and Steve have since, spent time listening to her music and getting a sense of who she is. First, Tracy is a singer with an amazing resume and we learned in our discussion that she started singing and touring at a bery very young age, and that she was a backup singer for the disco queen, Gloria Gaynor. SInce, as a solo performer she's has honed her songwriting chops, has produced, and even started her own record label in addition to touring the world.
