A UNIQUE & PRICELESS COMMISSIONED SONG by Portland singer/songwriter/pianist Naomi LaViolette! After consulting with you, Naomi will create a beautiful song to commemorate your event or as a gift for a special person you wish to honor in music. Naomi has composed songs for many occasions and purposes, including birthdays, anniversaries, funerals and for businesses. Listen to sample commissioned works at her website naomilmusic.com / She will send you two of her CD's. We will throw in everything from the "Power of Love" Reward plus some extras. More about Naomi: "Naomi LaViolette has found her niche between retro-style grooves and cool pop. Her smooth vocals span the sultry blues of Norah Jones to the ambience of Sarah McLachlan, and her inclusion of both vintage and current keyboard sounds are reminiscent of both the funky rhythms of Billy Preston and classic folk-rock of Carole King. Her songs strike a distinctive balance between sweet flirtation, soul-searching and gratitude. LaViolette’s roots are deep in classical music—she has a master’s degree in classical piano performance—but she has also immersed herself in jazz standards, folk songs, soul, pop and gospel." (Note: 1-3 months turnaround time for song depending on artist's performance schedule.)
