Heather Schmid debuts her latest CD ‘The Goddess Within’ on her China Tour
You may not know the name Heather Schmid as well as many Chinese now
do. Recording Artist Heather Schmid has just returned from a 3 week
tour of China where she kicked off the first leg of the tour with
her latest CD ‘The Goddess Within’. Ms. Schmid is breaking
boundaries as a pop/rock artist being the first ever international
artist to perform in YueYang China. In a county that is widely known
for being closed to foreign artist, Heather received a very
different reception. MTV China, Hunan TV, over 200 radio stations,
several magazines and 2 newspapers covered Heathers performances and
events. MTV China and Hunan TV both will air 30 minute shows
covering Heather’s live show as well as the week’s activities. Ms.
Schmid was honored for her tour and donation of 10,000 dollars to an
orphanage in YueYang. The central government, China’s own CCTV, and
China Youth Development Organization welcomed Heather to Beijing
where she extended her stay an extra week to discuss future business
wit
h the top leaders in Beijing.
Heather Schmid traveled to China to premier her new album ‘The
Goddess Within’ for the opening of the new Intercontinental 5 star
hotel Holiday Inn YueYang. YueYang’s over 2 million people were set
a buzz with the news that the first pop/rock American star was
coming to their city. There were billboards in three cities, two
full banners ran the length of the building from top to bottom and
all the radio and television stations ran the story of Heather’s
arrival. The mayor of YueYang even added another night of
performance to be sure all the top government officials would catch
the rock show. There were many press conferences, a ribbon cutting
ceremony, meet and greets with VIP business leaders that flew in
from all over the country, fireworks, and two live performance
nights. Heather did not disappoint with her all live performances
featuring her 4 member band orchestrated by her tour manager and
executive producer- 5 time Grammy nominated producer Rich Balmer.
Heather Schmid is a classically trained singer graduated from Boston
University, who turned to pop after becoming ‘Miss Millennium
International’ Heather has toured both nationally and
internationally. Heather’s recent performances were in Lahore
Pakistan to benefit earthquake relief. She was even requested by
President Musharraf for a special live show at the governors’
mansion. The liner notes of Heather’s second album read: ‘The
Goddess Within has one purpose: To shrink the boundaries between us,
so many things are possible now that never were before. For an album
that has only been out for three weeks, it seems that Heather Schmid
is well on her way to filling her goal.
