 Kole

 

       Ten years ago another Jane Doe was dumped at a hospital emergency room after a drug overdose. Her real name was Nicole Hansen, and when she awoke from her coma she knew she desperately needed to turn her life around. A few months later, she won the Miss Utah Teen USA pageant (2001), and so began her journey around the world.             
     Now Kole moves audiences with her story and her music. As an indie artist, she’s obsessed with social networking and the ability to reach her fan base and people who need help in all corners of the globe. In the past year Kole has combined her desire to inspire and the technology at her disposal to engage audiences live and online. As an international speaker, she’s appeared at colleges, universities, national talk shows and military installations. Most recently at Texas A&M and the 2010 Politics Online Conference in Washington DC. Kole also toured Kosovo as a guest of the United Nations and a guest performer on their national Pop Idol singing competition.

 

 
     Through all this Kole has learned that she keeps her life moving in the right direction by helping others turn theirs around.

This day is especially great because I am waist deep in recording my album with a big move from …

The questions began as to why/how they write the songs—As the moderator turns to Bill Whithers with the same question Bill replies “I was waiting to see if your question was as long as Justin Timberlake’s Answer”.. Both elude to the need to set aside expectations and do you. Bill says it best “What you eat, don’t make me …

Linda Perry LIVE at ASCAP 2010

Wow, there are those moments in life you wait for..just this morning I said all I wanted was to hear Linda Perry sing “Beautiful”. To hear the song as it was meant to be heard in all of its authenticity was beyond “beautiful”. You can see it in her eyes, you can feel it in her tone. This has only begun and she has already stated “it is just an opinion” Her fly by the seat of your pants mentality is my kind of woman….honestly, she is just as insane and she is a …
