who is magic powers?

a little bit about magic...

Magic Powers discovered the piano at nine and by eleven had soloed with her first symphony. In 2004, she recorded a 5-song EP, Pianist Envy, with Grammy nominees Derek Nakamoto and Craig Burbidge, and went on to win the Los Angeles Music Award for Composer of the Year by a unanimous vote. With a tremendous catalogue of original material, an extensive repertoire of classical masterpieces, and a keen ability to compose hilarious songs about random people in the audience, right on the spot, Magic began gigging steadily around Los Angeles, playing to diverse crowds of enraptured music lovers, professional musicians, and curious rock stars, who had never seen anything like her. She quickly earned a reputation for giving sensational live performances and passionately "serving up her soul on a plate of piano." It was the idea of capturing this emotionally charged live vibe that led to the making of Live Summer Session. Half written on the fly and recorded live in a single gut wrenching take, the album is hailed by critics as "creative brilliance," "as raw and real as music gets." With a red hot stage presence and the credibility that comes with writing all her own music - live and impromptu - the former child prodigy is amassing a passionate following with her soulful voice, heartbreaking songwriting, and world class piano playing. She has appeared in special features on ABC, MTV, and Much Music, but has turned away traditionally coveted "record deals" to remain independent and in complete artistic control of her music. Following seven years of silence, Magic has reemerged as a producer and engineer with new music set to drop December 21, 2012. Stay tuned for photos, videos and more.
