We recently connected with Renee Edd and have shared our conversation below.
Renee, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?
I actually sang before I spoke. So my earliest memories are hearing my dad sing (he was a fabulous tenor) and singing along myself – to Caruso of all things. A little later, I’d find Judy Garland then move on to Olivia Newton John! So while I started early creatively, I wasn’t allowed to pursue it professionally as a child or young woman. My dad wouldn’t let me. Mom and I tried to sneak me to a Broadway audition but dad found out and nixed that right away. I do regret it, absolutely. But what can I do?
