Singing began early in life, at around eighteen months old, according to her mother. By the time she started Kindergarten, her teacher, a music major, told Wendy s parents that she had perfect pitch . That, coupled with the fact that Wendy was not shy about getting up in front of people, gave her a head start in the entertainment world.

This, compiled with all the vast experience of these road musicians, turned out to be one of the most valuable periods of Wendy s life. What a treat!
