Ann Mincieli's Interview for WOMEN BEHIND THE CONSOLE: Inside The Process

On January 14, 2011, Making Music Herstory presented the panel WOMEN BEHIND THE CONSOLE: Inside the process, live at the NAMM show. Ann Mincieli, one of the 5 panelists, was not able to attend due to the snowstorms on the East Coast. Fortunately Lisa Chamblee Hampton asked some questions so that we could still gain some insight from Ann.

LCH: Working as an assistant engineer you have a lot of responsibility but you also have time to observe. Can you tell us what you learned from being an assistant engineer for Mariah Carey?

AM: I learned so much about vocals- how to stack, EQ, and blend. Also learned about the vocal mechanics and the physics of how you can place your tone- whether it’s in your chest, your head tone or how to make your tone fuller. It helped me as an engineer be able to teach microphone technique to artists that I record or show them how to round their vocal tones off so they are fuller and more airy by switching to head tone.

I also learned how to lock two 3348′s up using the remote controls. That machine was the coolest machine! You could digitally copy from one track to another, trim your punches and it had a cross fade switch. Back then we would be running 96 tracks at one time. Then the engineer would blend the stacks down to 2 channels and then you would increment up with vocal slaves. So essentially you can have 150 tracks running all blended down to 96 tracks. Nowadays Pro Tools has spoils us! Back in the day it was so much harder to record. At least with the 3348 you had a rehearse key in case you messed up a punch; you could undo it. I also learned how to be very organized. Her engineer at the time, Dana Jon Chappelle, was very organized with recalls, writing up track sheets and tape labels. Wow! We don’t even have that anymore!

LCH: Can you sum up/describe all the things you do with Alicia Keys?

AM: Wow! On any given day I can do just about anything and everything for Alicia. From Engineer to Album Coordinator, Studio Director to Programming, Tour Programming and Editing, Studio Designing, Piano Plug-in Design (Alicia’s Keys, Native Instruments)…the list goes on and on. During the last tour I stood out there on the bus and helped with so many things.

The most gratifying thing is that we HEAR COLORS and SEE SOUNDS. We aren’t recording just to record, we are gear-heads and we manipulate our sample libraries and gear to color the sounds, theme and vibe of the songs. Whether it’s a gritty guitar part, finding gear on eBay to recreate a tone- just being able to research and make those choices are just as rewarding; as well as being able to hire all the session musicians. At the end of the day we are painting a picture and a theme for each song.

LCH: You just had the Grand Opening of Jungle City Studios in NYC. How does it feel to be a studio owner?

AM: It feels incredible! It’s just one GOAL that I had for many years. I wanted it to be way more than just a generic studio. I wanted a piece of ART. You guys will see a lot of the studio unveiling in the coming weeks.

Cordell Jackson: America’s Female Music Pioneer By Sakae Kidd

Rock and Roll lovers all over Memphis Tennessee know Cordell Jackson. But Jackson is most famous for paving the way for women in the music industry. She was born in Pontotoc, Mississippi on July 15, 1923 as Cordell Miller. Cordell took an interest in music when her father encouraged her to play. Young Cordell learned how to play the guitar, piano, and upright bass. At the age of twelve she was performing on her father’s radio show with his band the “Pontotoc Ridge Runners”. Later she added the mandolin, banjo, and harmonica to her list of instruments. But she's known for playing her trademark Hagstrom electric guitar. She married William Jackson in 1943 and started a new life in Memphis. In 1947 with the purchase of her recording equipment, Cordell became a woman of many firsts. Jackson wanted to sign with Sun Records label, but was unable to break into the label's established group of male artists. With the advice and assistance from RCA Records' Chet Atkins, he suggested she form her own record label to release her music under. In 1956 Jackson founded Moon Records and released her first single under her Moon label, "Bebopper's Christmas." In her home studio she served as an engineer, producer, and arranger, releasing and promoting singles. Artists under Cordell’s label consisted of herself and a small group of rock and roll, rockabilly, and country performers that she recruited from several Southern states. Jackson made music history as the first female recording engineer in the United States. She is counted as the first woman to write, sing, accompany, record, engineer, produce and manufacture a record. Throughout the 70’s and 80’s Jackson remained active in the music scene. Discovering her Moon singles were collector's items, Jackson revived Moon Records in 1980. In the early 80's she released a compilation album on vinyl with the labels 1950's singles titled “The 50's Rock on the Moon of Memphis Tennessee: An Oddity.” In 1983 under Moon she released a four song EP of instrumentals called “Knockin’ at 60.” Throughout the 80's she began to do more solo performances in Hoboken, Memphis, Chicago, and New York City nightclubs. New material was recorded on her label with Memphis musicians Colonel Robert Morris and Bob Holden. Morris and Holden coined her the nickname "Rock-and-Roll Granny." "If I want to wang dang rock 'n' roll at 69 years old dressed up in an antebellum dress, it ain't nobody's business but mine." says Cordell. Jackson released her last album in the late 90's titled “Cordell Jackson: Live in Chicago," on Bughouse Records. Jackson’s Moon Records label was the oldest continuously operating label in Memphis at the time of her death on October 14, 2004. Her original 1950s vinyl singles compiled on “The 50's Rock on the Moon of Memphis Tennessee: An Oddity” album have been displayed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. Cordell is a heroine to any woman who has or wants to pursue a career in the music industry. She knocked down the barriers of a profession that was seen as a “Mans World.” Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordell_Jackson http://www.steamiron.com/cgrrl/cordell.html

Making Music Herstory: Artist Profile, Jennah Bell

Los Angeles CA, USA, July 22, 2009 -


Making Music Herstory centers around the art of the sing-songwriters. They create original music to record with other female musicians, engineers, and producers. The Indie artists involved with the project are unique with clear artistry, great lyricists, strong vocalists, and are steering their careers with pure business savvy. One of the artists that encapsulates all of those things is Jennah Bell.

“Jennah was introduced to me by Paris Strother. I heard her voice, her lyrics, her music and I almost stopped breathing! exclaims Executive Producer Lisa Chamblee-Hampton. She paints these pictures in your mind through your ears and you are transported to a magical place. It sounds corny, but it’s true. Being pleased that she is involved is an understatement.”

Hailing from Sunny-season less Northern California, Jennah Bell’s style incorporates her Liberal/Bohemian upbringing. At a young age everyone could tell she would be an artist, of what kind? No one knew. She dabbles in the culinary arts, painting & amp, photography, dancing, and last but not least, music.

She began learning to play the piano, followed by the flute, had a brief stint with the drums, and finally found her muse in the guitar. Music was never a serious career choice until she was blessed with the opportunity to attend a wonderful summer program affiliated with the Grammy Foundation. A competitive audition process placed her as one of 11 singer/songwriters from around the U.S. Her peers, elders, and music business professionals (Paul Williams, Jimmy Jam, INXS) embraced her unorthodox writing style (writing songs about fish, and the Wizard of Oz), alternative/folk/soul song melodies, and endearing honest vocals.

This gave her the courage and motivation she needed to apply to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. Now at 19 in her 4th semester at Berklee, Jennah is ready to spread sunshine, the fresh smell of laundry, and daisies to the rest of the world.




Developed by Black Fox Entertainment Company (BFEC), the main objective of the Making Music Herstory brand is to inspire the world’s people with great music and to display the success of the efforts of women in entertainment.

Making Music Herstory: Musician Profile, Sheila E

Los Angeles CA, USA, July 22, 2009 -


The music of Making Music Herstory is that much better because of the level of musicianship involved. “We strive to hold on to many of the traditional production techniques, and that includes having musicians play live for tracking, says Executive Producer, Lisa Chamblee-Hampton. When I asked myself, who will be able to hold down the rhythm section for any type of music we throw at her? Immediately there was only one answer: Sheila E!” The answer was clear because Sheila is completely multi-faceted and so deeply integrated into all aspects of the entertainment industry that her involvement is highly welcomed.

From age 17, Sheila has recorded and toured extensively with renowned artists such as Babyface, Billy Cobham, Natalie Cole, George Duke, Pete Escovedo, Gloria Estefan, Marvin Gaye, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Nicks, Patti LaBelle, Cyndi Lauper, Prince, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Ringo Starr, Tito Puente, Don Was, Stevie Wonder and countless others, but to name a few.

In 1983, Sheila caught the attention of Prince and changed her name to "Sheila E.," and Prince helped her record her first solo album, "The Glamorous Life." The first single from the album, "The Glamorous Life," written, performed, and directed by Sheila E., was released in the spring of 1984 and earned popular and critical acclaim. This single went on to receive multiple Grammy and American Music Award nominations, and won MTV's Best Video Award. "The Glamorous Life" yielded a hit single in the title track, and another hit for its follow-up single, "The Belle of St. Mark."

In 2004 Sheila joined Prince on the "Musicology" tour, which was seen by 1.5 million people. She also performed "The Glamorous Life" at the 7th Annual VH1 Divas, a benefit concert for the VH1 Save the Music Foundation that was televised worldwide, and appeared on the TBN network show "Praise The Lord" that received the highest ratings of the season. In 2005 Sheila was a Featured Artist and Musical Director for her first gospel tour "Sisters In The Spirit" featuring Yolanda Adams, Martha Munizzi, Kelly Price, Juanita Bynum and RiZen. In the summer of 2006 Sheila returned for the third time and toured in concert with the legendary Ringo Starr. In 2006 Sheila founded her all girl group C.O.E.D. (Chronicles Of Every Diva) featuring Sheila E., Rhonda Smith, Kat Dyson, and Cassandra O'Neal, who went on their highly acclaimed first European tour in March 2007 with special guest Dutch sax player Candy Dulfer. In 2007, Sheila was chosen as one of the celebrity judges for American Idol Spin-Off "The Next Great American Band."

Founder and president of HEAVEN PRODUCTIONS MUSIC, a music production company, Sheila and company has been hired to direct and arrange music for the ALMA Awards (1998 & 1999), The 1998 WoW Awards, 1998 Gospel Music Association's annual event, and the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. She co-hosted ABC's Countdown To the American Music Awards with Wayne Brady, hosted 10 episodes of VH1's Arsenio Jams, and appeared as a celebrity judge for NBCs Americas Most Talented Kids Finals. In 2003 she wrote, recorded and taped a montage for the World Series in Baseball.

Currently, Sheila, a philanthropist, continues to devote her talents and time to the Elevate Hope Foundation (EHF), a charitable organization (which she is co-founder and co-chair) that assists the needs of abused and abandoned children through music therapy. Despite the demands of her commitment to making music, she maintains a heavy involvement in the organization. "There are so many kids who need our help," she says, "And we're trying to help them get their lives together by building their confidence through music and the arts. It's just another way for me to do God's will, another reason for living. I believe we are here to help people in this lifetime. We must give something of ourselves to truly live." Sheila E. and EHF have presented countless events to raise money for the foundation.

Most recently, Sheila E. participated in the third season of CMT's hit show, "Gone Country." She was the Grand Prize Winner and has gone on to release her first country single & video for her song, "Glorious Train."

Sheila E. is indeed a multi-faceted drummer, percussionist, vocalist, songwriter, performer, arranger, producer, composer, instrumentalist and humanitarian. Her gifts have brought joy on the world and have made her one of today's brightest talents, and she continues to be one of our most treasured stars.

Making Music Herstory: Musician Profile, Paris Strother

Los Angeles CA, USA, May 11, 2009 -


Making Music Herstory has some very talented musicians and songwriters collaborating on this project. This week’s profile is on an incredible musician and songwriter, Paris Strother. She is an extremely talented pianist, songwriter, arranger, and composer that we are proud to have on the project and are excited to be working with. “Paris always brings me back to the music. It is such a thrill to hear her play, to hear her songs. The music is what this whole project is about so I’m so happy to have so many talented women in music,” comments Executive Producer Lisa Chamblee-Hampton.

By the age of 13, Paris began to play professionally around Minneapolis for such events as mayoral inaugurations and fundraisers, and soon graduated to playing the most renowned jazz clubs in the Twin Cities by age 15. By the time she finished high school, Paris had already performed with some of the Twin Cities’ best performers and musicians. She then took the most practical step towards turning her passion into a career; she decided to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music.

Berklee proved to be a challenge for Paris, but a challenge she welcomed. The encouraging yet intimidating climate pushed her to better her craft, and by the end of her second year had graced every stage, big and small, at Berklee. She easily adapted to the different styles that all of these opportunities called for, ultimately transforming her into a talented artist in many different genres.

In May of 2008 Paris graduated with Bachelor's degree in Contemporary Writing and Production, and continued her education by working in production and development for the historic Monterey Jazz Festival, and as the Special Programs Coordinator for the Thelonious Monk Institute.
