LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Luck Media & Marketing) - Every rising star deserves an angel in their corner, offering just the right amount of encouragement and guidance-and Laurie Andrewsen has lovingly played that role for Kaylah Marin since the emerging R&B singer/songwriter and dance club sensation was just 16. Laurie's four-year commitment to Kaylah as head of Epiphany Productions has helped propel the singer to emerging stardom. Her multi-faceted support includes a major investment of time and financial resources, and being Executive Producer of Kaylah's critically-acclaimed debut album Loving Life. All of this led the singer to become a major breakout artist in 2009. A recent nominee at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) for her hit 'Green Caddie,' Kaylah-who wrote the song 'Angel' in Laurie's honor-is quickly becoming a dance floor sensation. A remix of her track 'On The Floor (Oh Baby Please)' recently debuted at No 47 on Billboard's Dance-Club Play chart where Kaylah was the No 3 breakout artist on the chart. Top producers Josh Harris (The Killers, Madonna, Seal), Tracy Young (Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears), Rod Carrillo, and Billboard's top charting DJs The Perry Twins created the dance mixes, and are available on iTunes and PerfectBeat.com where Kaylah is currently the No 1 download. 'I always supported Kaylah and encouraged her to follow her dream,' says Laurie. 'A few years ago when her mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I said, 'quit your job. Be with her during this painful process. Later when things settle, I will get you produced.' Fortunately her mom beat the cancer, and I went on with Kaylah with various promotions and productions, dipping into my savings to help develop her as an artist. Some have portrayed me as just an 'investor,' but this truly started from the heart.' 'Laurie always believed in me and loved my music,' says Kaylah, 'but I wasn't able to turn my dream a reality until she raised money for my first recording project. Right now, I am enjoying all that's coming my way and am grateful there are so many people who want to hear my music. I am truly Loving Life.'
