Sondra Mitchell - It Starts Here
Sondra Mitchell - It Starts Here
Sultry and soulful was Sondra Mitchell’s mode of expression with her debut EP
release of It Starts Here. Mitchell began her love affair with music at the age of
three in her native Long Island, NY. It was in grammar school that her teachers
motivated her into participating in the choir and perform in many of the school
plays. Classically trained yet, very creative she felt she had something to offer to
the public. At 12 years old, she started her own pop all-girl group called Boy
Krazy. The group received interest from major record labels like Atlantic records.
This encouraged Sondra more than ever. She began attending Stony brook University
for music and continued to hone her voice through session singing and doing
background for other countless professional musicians in the industry. She started
writing her own material and cut a demo. Mitchell moved to Los Angeles in early
2000. Upon relocating she landed into a setting of supportive management and a
fantastic bunch of musicians, including bassist of the year nominee Alex Al
(previously worked with Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and Shakira), guitarist
Michael O’Neill ( Aretha Franklin, Santana), and pianist J. Michael O’Neal (Chaka
Kahn, Teena Marie), to help her in the recording of It Starts Here Mitchell began
playing festivals and some of Hollywood’s hottest clubs. She receivied press from
some of Hollywood's major prestigious music and entertainment magazines, such As The
Music Connection and Noho LA. Recently Sondra started embracing writing for
television, too. One of her most recent projects was writing the theme song for
Adelphia Cables TV show Senior Heroes Of America. The song currently gets heard in
one million homes a day in Southern California.
