Marc Jordan & Amy Sky

Hi everybody, I have two wonderful guests on for this episode as I’m thrilled to welcome both AMY SKY and MARC JORDAN!This fun chat dives deep into Amy and Marc's beginnings and how they both grew up in Toronto, how Marc, in 1978, got a US record deal with WARNER Music, and that culminated in the hit song “Marina del Rey." Fast forward and Marc has now released 16 solo albums to date, including his most recent, two brilliant jazz themed albums “Both Sides” and “Waiting for the Sun to Rise." He has also written for such artists as Bette Midler, Joe Cocker, Josh Groban and Manhattan Transfer, but is arguably best known for his worldwide #1 hit Rhythm of My Heart made famous by ROD STEWART who went on to record more of Marc's work, including Tears of Hercules and Charlie Parker Loves Me. Marc's songs have been on 35 MILLION CDs and he was recently inducted into the CANADIAN SONGWRITER’S HALL OF FAME. Marc also performs as a member of the quartet “Lunch at Allen’s."Amy began her career as a staff songwriter for MCA, subsequently moving on to Warner-Chappell and EMI. She has written for many international artists, including Diana Ross, Anne Murray and Roch Voisine, and is also renown for her collaborations with Oliva Newton-John. Since the release of her debut album Cool Rain in 1996, Amy has recorded 13 albums. She has been nominated for four Junos, is the recipient of three Socan awards, an International Songwriter's Award and the Canadian Smooth Jazz Award.
