Star Search Winner Launches Star Rock for Kids

Online, July 26, 2010 (Newswire.com) - After winning Best Teen Vocalist on Ed McMahon's Star Search 1989, Lisa Damiani went on to record with some of the most famous and award winning song writers and producers in the music industry including Clivilles and Cole of C&C Music Factory, Billy Steinberg and Guy Roche

After a life threatening illness took her out of the "performance arena", Lisa dedicated her career to the development of young singing talent. The launch of the Star Rock CD series enables parents to purchase amazing music with award winning songs, all sung by Lisa's highly trained students, and allows future talent to submit an audio application to become a "Star Rock Kid" and appear on the next Star Rock CD. Star Rock CD's will be released every four months and available through major retailers and the Star Rock website, www.StarRockforKids.com. Now for the ï¬rst time, young singers who don't have resources of their own, have opportunity to receive training showcase their talent.

Lisa has become the number one voice teacher in New York City and has proven to be a true Star Maker. Lisa trains over 40 kids per week and has not only released successful CD's with her students which have sold in Wal Mart, but her students have gone on to stars on Broadway and elsewhere.

However, critical to Lisa's success is her ability to instill values in her singers and requires Star Rock Kids to deliver performances in hospitals that Lisa has selected for them. Most recently, Lisa has had the Star Rock Kids perform in the Children's Center of Mt. Sinai Hospital and The Hope Lodge for cancer patients and their families. The Mt. Sinai Hospital performances have been broadcast on The Kid Zone network where sick children can watch the Star Rock Kids perform, call in from their rooms, and interact with the Star Rock Kids serving as inspiration to children suffering with life-threatening illnesses.

Lisa has created the only opportunity in the U.S. for singing talent in the 5 to 16 year old range. Her unique talent and release of the Star Rock CD series has inspired thousands of young singers and has given them a platform to record and release music for the ï¬rst time. Her ability to discover and train young singers has enabled her to become a true success story and has given young stars the ï¬rst platform in the music business geared towards this age group. The Star Rock CD Series is not only a chart topping music CD, but it is also an opportunity for young starts to showcase their talent and fulï¬ll their own dreams.

The ï¬rst Star Rock features 18 songs from all the decades in including; S.O.S (Rihanna) Holiday (Madonna), It's a Beautiful Life (Ace of Base), Girlfriend (Avril Levigne), Makes me wonder (Maroon 5), You make me feel so young (Frank Sinatra), If I can't have you (Yvonne Elliman,), and L-O-V-E (Nat King Cole).
