Welcome Back to NMT!
Today I have two artist that not only sing but also dabble a bit in acting. I stumbled across this first artist about a year ago. If any of you know of Joshua Radin, then you know her voice, Schuyler Fisk (pronounced Sky-l-er). She toured for a while with Joshua and sang back up for him on a few songs on the “We Were Here” album. After a long wait she finally released her own debut album “The Good Stuff”.
Daughter of actress Sissy Spacek, Schuyler started out following in her mothers footsteps as an actress up until her early twenties. Then she shifted her focus to songwriting, and began actively pursuing her music career. Around this time is when she meet up with Radin and the two began a songwriting partnership and got a contract with Universal Records. Their most notable song “Paperweight” was chosen for the motion picture soundtrack for “The Last Kiss” in 2006.
The second artist is Glen Hansard. I first heard his music a few years back during the Academy Awards when his song from the movie “Once” was nominated and received the award for Best Song written for a Motion Picture. I fell in love with this Dublin born artist at the very moment I heard the song. I found the movie, watched it, and then bought the music. He didn’t only write the music for the movie but stared in it as well along side Czech sonstress Marketa Irglova. Hansard was once the founder and front man for the Irish band The Frames.
