Deedee O'Malley

I have been writing songs since I was thirteen years old and have had a great performance life opening for some of my favorite artists including The Bus Boys, Al Stewart, Stephen Bishop, Chris Cagel and Glen Campbell. I started singing commercials in my teens and racked up a nice resume' singing for Heinz Ketchup, Avis Rent-a Car, Toshiba and IBM to name a few. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music and Theatre. I have sung with Patti LaBelle, Jermaine Jackson, Willie Nelson, and Kenny Rogers. I recently played the mandolin with LeAnn Rhimes in her band at the Rose Bowl Parade. I am a Lilith Fair winner, and a recipient of The Los Angeles Singer/Songwriter of the year award as well as The John Lennon Songwriting Contest. My first Cd, entitled, "Simple" won Best Female Indy Cd of the year by Music Connection Magazine. The second album/cd entiitled, "Beautful L.A.", won me Singer/Songwriter of the year. Some of my television placements include Strong Medicine, Party of Five, Dawson's Creek and Beautiful People. I love helping artists perfect the art of songwriting.

I have a studio in my home that was in the movie, The Last Waltz. It originally came from a studio called Shangri-la in Malibu where Bonnie Rait, Karla Bonoff and Mark Knoffler recorded their albums. I write, arrange and produce out of my studio with my partner veteran engineer Richard P. Robinson.....(his credits include some small guys like Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones.)

I collaborate with other great singer/songwriters and have helped them with their musical projects.

I have helped many artists by producing and arranging their music. I have a great new book I've written called "10 Steps To Writing a Song" You can communicate with my on myspace.com/deedeeomalley anytme!

I'm also an Actress and my resume' is full of all kinds of Films, Voice-Overs, Television Commercials and off Broadway performances.
