Mary Grew up with the entertainment spoon in her mouth touring since she was 7 with her singer father. She knew thats all she wanted to do, being exposed to all types of music she developed her own style. There were many barriers she overcame coming from a very strict culture despite her father being a famous singer she had no support and often kept it a secret. Which is how she developed Venus, Edith, Rockann, and Donia they are all facets of Mary and parts of who she is musically her style is as unique as her life. She combines the fantasy and reality and its something never seen or done before. All inspired by her life and what she has gone through both good and bad. very interesting stay tuned!

Warren Michaels Interviews UK Talent Donna Fullman

Click to Listen Live or Archive

Based in the sunniest spot of the United Kingdom, lives independent singer songwriter Donna Fullman. Quietly penning songs for her next release: a full length album ‘Inner World’ which follows her debut EP ‘Happiness + Victory’.

Whilst working as a graphic designer she honed her writing skills developing personal accounts of prose, poetry and lyrics. With only vocal melody to lean on she was urged to find her instrument, eventual...ly picking up the guitar. She continued to develop her voice and guitar playing whilst resisting performing for many years. In 2004 she applied to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music to study Songwriting and was offered a place based purely on the lyrics she presented.

“I still prefer to use vocal melody. It’s more honest” . Donna Fullman discussing her writing techniques in September 2010.

She graduated with distinction, a few ‘bedroom’ recordings and new band members in tow, collectively hitting the gigging circuit of London and the South.

“I realized that performing was vital to getting my music out there, to connect, which is at the heart of everything I do.”

With musical influences steeped in the heady 60s and 70s she notes John Lennon, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan as key influences. Inspired by the epic creations of Ennio Morricone and lyrical works of Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen and Jim Morrison. The combination is a powerful blend of poetry and artistry she is dedicated to.

Playing bass since he was 17 years old, recording in original bands since 1983. From 1976-1983, Von worked with special effects crews for Universal Studios on such films as Airport '77 and '79, Jaws II,

The Incredible Shrinking Woman, and John Carpenter's The Thing. Also as a screen credited Grip on the movie, La Bamba. '83-'86, Von was under a
recording contract with a band called Uranus, with an indie label who also signed me as... the production manager/director of their music video division.

In 1986, Von started a new band with guitarist Robb Howell called the RH Factor, who Von was with for a decade. They released two albums, wrote, recorded and performed the movie soundtrack for the film "Forever: A Ghost of a Love Story", and even opened the first annual Long Beach Jazz Festival.
When that group broke up, the drummer, Dave
Goode, and Von joined with guitarist Don Lake to form ONOFFON, who he has been with for the last 14 years. They have released three critically
acclaimed albums, with our most recent, Bridge to Presage, earning the Best Album honors at the 2006 International Online Music Awards.

Concurrently,Von has been in pre-production on a documentary film he is producing about his father called, Harry Babasin's Jazz In Hollywood. He was one of the greatest bassist/producers in jazz history and one of the major definers of the west coast jazz movement of the 40's and 50's.

Mickey Cash Stylizes Mr Bo Jangles

The Making of the Video

Genre	Alternative Country/ Americana
Members	Mickey Cash
Hometown	Richmond,VA
Record Label	Indie
About	Now Mickey’s working on a new album. She’s traveling America’s east coast with her song and spirit. Her music – a blend of Americana, country and Motown - tells the story of a tough life, dreams loved and lost, and making big decisions.

Description	A little Bit of Country, a little bit of Motown and a little bit of Bluegrass
Biography	Mickey Cash’s tambourine flutters down in a shake, just above her hip. She raises her other hand to the microphone and sings. “On the backwoods from the bottom of the south, there’s a place called Pleasant Grove. There’s a young man there who never did grow up. Some say he’s 100 years old.” There’s something about her deep, soulful voice, the strong, sexy jawline and pensively set eyes that hint to bluegrass and country fans where her family history lies. Cousin to The Man in Black, Johnny Cash, and daughter to The Osbourne Brother’s guitarist Gordon Cash, Mickey sings the same way she lives her life: with everything she’s got. Now Mickey’s working on a new album. She’s traveling America’s east coast with her song and spirit. Her music – a blend of Americana, country and rock n’ roll - tells the story of a tough life, dreams loved and lost, and making big decisions. Mickey grew up in a swampy, small town near Richmond, Virginia. After graduating from New Kent High School, she married her sweetheart, traveling as far as California for her husband’s job. Fate would eventually lead Mickey and music manager/vocal coach Leonard Reed (producer for Marvin Gaye and inventor of the Shim Sham Shimmy dance) to the same hotel poolside in Los Angeles, where Mickey sang. Reed asked the young songstress if he could put her to work, and so her story with fame began. She was reaching new heights quickly and raising her girls Rachel and Samantha. But times were still hard, and so when her husband said, it’s the music or me, Mickey chose her family. She became an interior designer and started her own business, only to end up in divorce years later. A single mom, she sent one child to college, and settled down with the other on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Diagnosed with blood cancer soon after, Mickey fought for her life with the help of her mother Dorothy, who introduced the singer to organic foods and healthy eating. Mickey recovered, looking and feeling better than ever. “I know my future doesn’t have to be my history,” said Mickey, who sees herself as a believer in God, a mother, a musician, and a survivor.
