TESTIMONIALS.

  Isabelle Bridges Boesch

Isabelle Bridges, oldest daughter of Oscar award winning actor Jeff Bridges, has been teaching yoga to all ages for many years. Her company, Cool Karma Kids, helps young people in the San Francisco Bay Area develop strong, flexible bodies, deep healthy breathing, and focused peaceful minds. She also regularly travels with her father to present talks on socially engaged Buddhism. Isabelle is active in a variety of civic and cultural organizations including Doctors Without Borders, YogaKids, the Art of Yoga Project, and the Fighting Back organization. Before joining forces with Lessia Bonn, Izzy had searched (often in vain) for songs to play during her classes that would help instill healthy living and thinking into her students. She often noted she was not alone in her struggle to find quality faire as she constantly bumped into other teachers and frustrated parents caught in the same endless search.

Now that this dynamic duo have come together, Isabelle and Lessia are skillfully producing material to fill the void; creating mindful mainstream music that speaks to all ages, that can be enjoyed while driving around in the family van, doing yoga, anywhere or anytime a person or entire family just wants to be uplifted. Being surrounded by young people and their families on a daily basis gives Isabelle a unique perspective and the great opportunity to witness what works within family dynamics and what does not. And what she gleans she pours right into Bridges and Bonn.

Outside of professional interests, Isabelle travels widely, reads, writes, does yoga, and enjoys living in Oakland with her own family and dog. When Isabelle was little, some serious medical issues cropped up in her young life making her childhood experiences quite different than that of the average kid. The bright side? These experiences taught her from a very early age how truly important it is to be sensetive to other people's foibles and dilemmas and also, how it's so very important to stay centered and true to oneself. She caught on that life is unpredictable; it can be full of unusual surprises. She also fell in love with yoga and music because they both centered her when she was stressed and kept her sane. That's why she now adores teaching yoga to young and not-so-young kids and feels music is a vital component to her classes. More details on the Cool Karma Kids page

    Lessia Bonn

Lessia Bonn has been penning songs for and producing gifted young singers for many years. On her roster; Viva Gore (dad's Martin Gore of Depeche Mode), Jessie Bridges (middle daughter of actor, Jeff) and Rachel Sand, a young actor sharing a manager with Hillary Duff. Lessia recently served as songwriting/producing consultant helping create the award-winning up-and-coming rock band Loomis and the Lust (MTV/Billboard magazine). She has co-produced material along-side Alan Thicke for Alan's son, R&B singer Robin Thicke. Her current focus is an exciting new website; www.IamBullyproofMusic.org which provides teachers with an empowerment through music program for their students. Thought inspiring songs and classroom discussion are offered up--aimed at helping young people become more bully-resistant and also kinder and gentler themselves.

For years Lessia served as songstress, ringleader and informal guru to a giant Santa Barbara crew of tweens and teens knicknamed Vocals By Locals. (see www.vocalsbylocals.com). She also created and produced the popular SBTV show Enlightenment Stew--a delightful mix of Laugh In, common sense and Zen.

On the side, Lessia consults for entertainers helping them refine their songwriting and vocal skills-- her most amusing client so far being David Rasche of Sledge Hammer. Her Christmas tune Flicker Little Candle is a holiday favorite in schools thoughout the country. Girl's Inc. continally uses Lessia's material for their tween pop choirs ("the kids want to sing nothing else!") seeing as it so naturally reflects the organzation's point of view.

Now based in northern California, Lessia continues to produce and record young singers, penning them tunes with titles like Fearless, Whatever, and Johnny Depp. Her catchy commercial material is packed with intriguing observations, irreverent humor and an abundance of heart.

BACK STORY: Lessia was a child prodigy with perfect pitch. Receiving her entire musical education on full scholarship, she won a city-wide essay contest at ten, a state-wide talent contest at eleven, and soloed with her first symphony orchestra at twelve. While still a tween, her lyric poetry was chosen to be published in a national magazine. Choosing Curtis Institute over Julliard because it was more intimate, Lessia was awarded a grand piano of her choice for simply gaining admittance. Her songs became so popular at the school she became the only contemporary singer/songwriter to this day asked to perform her material on the school's reknowned classical stage.

While searching out new talent in LA, The Larry Thompson Organization discovered Lessia. Deciding to sign her immediately referring to her as "the entire package" the powers that be renigged when they got to know her better. "You're simply too happy" was their complaint. "You're not driven."

Fair enough. Lessia has always been easy-going about her talents. Producing and writing for other people, especially young people, gives her much more pleasure than just fiddling with her own fingers and toes. As a producer and writer for others she pens the song, creates the arrangement, puts down the keyboard parts, sings most the back-up vocals and then makes her singers sound amazing. Her vocal coaching style has been compared to that of the famed Seth Riggs. She adores her work.
