Growing up, show business was in Audra Mae’s blood. Her
great grandmother, Virginia, was a member of the Gumm Sisters, whose youngest
member, Francis Ethel Gumm, grew up to be Judy Garland. Her paternal
grandmother turned her on to country and folk artists like Patsy Cline, Dolly
Parton and Woody Guthrie, while her maternal grandfather introduced her to
jazz.Since arriving in California nine years ago,
on Elvis Presley’s birthday no less, with the proverbial $20 in her pocket,
Audra Mae has done alright for herself. She landed a publishing deal with
Warner/Chappell, multiple TV placements on the hit F/X series, Sons of Anarchy,
The Good Wife, etc. and in 2009, wrote the lyrics to “Who I Was Born to Be,”
the only original track on Susan Boyle’s chart-topping, 9 million-selling I
Dreamed a Dream album.And now Audra Mae has seen her own dream come true.Listen Dreaming Of Me here:YouTube
