JUDI KERR
LEAD & BACK-UP VOCALS/
ACOUSTIC GUITAR/VIOLIN
Music and performing
arts are tradition in Judi's family. Brought up by parents who both sing and play
the guitar,
Judi recalls falling "in-love" with singing at a very early age. While born in Ann Arbor, Mi.,
she has lived most of her
life
as a Floridian.
She and her three sisters were raised in Pensacola, Florida,
which is where Judi began taking violin
lessons
and classical ballet at age seven. As a performing artist,
she played in her school orchestra and was a troupe
member
of
the Elvie Demarko Ballet Company for 9 years. Judi has a B.A. in Communications from Randolph-Macon
Woman's College, Lynchburg, Va.
and an AS in Computer Graphic Design from Valencia Community College, Orlando, Fl.
Still, singing has always been Judi's greatest passion. Some of her favorite
artists are: Joan Baez,
Ann Wilson ("Heart")
and John Fogerty (CCR). Judi has an avid love for folk music and
writes her music
in much the same style.
When asked, "What
is one of the greatest gifts you've ever received?",
she will say without resolve, "It is my ability
to tell the world
about experience through song."
For this reason, Judi did not hesitate to help establish Neon Dream band in 1999.
When
not making music, she works as an Publications Editor/Graphic Designer for
Orange County Government Communications in Orlando, FL.
