Musician - Illustrator - Writer - Creative Thinker - Explorer - Mental Sk'illness Ambassador..
Hello there! My name is Heidi and as the front woman and songworker of Hotel Echo, a fantastic band moving stodgy old boundries one show at a time, I am proud to say that with schizophrenia I have become the best person I could ever have set out to be.
After appearing on Andrew Denton's excellent documentary about mental health called 'Angels & Demons', I have met an extraordinary amount of people around the world, all finding their way through this tangled disease. All of us share a similar thread, we are all creative genius!
I hope to keep meeting everyday people who are living like Christopher Columbus, all charting new territory in each new day we wake up.

Please take a moment to say 'HI', I love hearing from you..
Hi Heidi,
You are a gifted siner and songwriter and I listened to the interviews and your music on the link to "Angels and Demons."
Would love to hear more music from you.
Feel free to write SharePosts any time.
Best wishes,
Christina
Hi Christina,
I thought that was funny how you wrote siner/singer. I think to be a good songwriter, you do need to have sinned! Or did you mean signer? I can do that too, when Im really angry..
Ive still got to get the hang of the SharePosts, so I will take your suggestion and have a go.
As for my music, Im just about to go into the studio and record some songs for a new release, so Im really excited about that. Here's a song for you now: La La lala la laaa (please insert your own melody)

Hi Heidi,
Your comment notice was sent to my junk folder so I didn't see it until now.
Would love you to let us know when the DVD comes out for purchase.
Cheers,
Christina
Hi Christina, Thankyou for all your lovely comments, they really mean a lot to help keep away all those bad ol' mean ones that seem to always outweigh the good ones! Can i put them in my pocket?
This is a link to view the Angels & Demons doco (not the film);

Its an Aussie release, but if you ask at your entertainment outlets, they will get it in for you (its an ABC/Roadshow release) either that, or just ask your local library to put it on their catalogue.
Hope you are going well, do you have any pets?
Cheers to you too, Heidi
Hi Heidi,
Well, I have no pets, though my niece and nephew got a "real cat" from Santa as a Christmas present last year. They named her, guess what, Sandy because she is sand-colored.
Alas, I couldn't afford to take care of a cat or dog and I'm not fond of pets in general.
Sorry.
You must love pets, if you have them.
Cheers,
Chris
