I am Bullyproof

I served as vocal, keyboard and songwriting coach, choir director and informal counselor to a colorful teen choir known as "Lessia's Crew" for many years. During this sweet adventure, I penned songs with insightful lyrics to help my songbirds cope with emotional challenges of all kinds. My gifted teens eventually recorded my SEL songs in a top-notch studio. Backed by an amazing band that included Justin Timerlake's drummer, we had a blast and learned so much. It melts my heart that the songs and materials I created for my own kids are now helping other young people around the world discover their own voices both inside and out!

Yet to be added

I was truly humbled when a tween chose my songs as her "hero" for a big school project. One of the Beach Boys asked me to write with him. Obviously, I was tickled pink! Not long ago, a TV series was slated to be written based on my songs and choir. One never knows... Oh, and this is cute... Not long ago, I got a hug from Weird Al. He's very shy. Who'd have guessed? I must admit, most of my 'honors' have been surprises.

Lead vocals on these tracks include the voice of Jessie Bridges - daughter of actor, Jeff, and Viva Gore - daughter of Martin of the band Depeche Mode. I have co-produced with Alan Thicke and worked in the studio with his youngest son. BP material was featured in a social justice documentary previewed at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. I produced the popular SBTV show, "Enlightenment Stew," often inviting my songbirds on to sing and pontificate. Being a mom to amazing sons has been my favorite adventure. Bullyproof is my way of giving back.
