MILLIONAIRES IN THE MAKING
ENTERTAINER, MUSICIAN, MOTIVATOR: DEBRA FIORE

Debra Fiore is an accomplished and elegant singer/songwriter/pianist who's earned a reputation as one of Chicago's finest performers for corporate, weddings, and special events. The Chicago vocalist/pianist has been performing since she was 18. Her exquisite singing and 3-octave range is often compared to that of Barbra Streisand. Her 3-octave range will soar you into new heights as she sings many diverse genres of music including classical, jazz, show tunes, and country. 
Debra started learning the music business about the same time she began to walk and talk from her parents. Her mother toured with Elvis Presley and her father was a notable musical conductor for the highly acclaimed singer Ann Jillian.

Debra began her musical career singing jingles and recorded her first demo for client Bigsby and Kruthers Shoes when she was 22. She has entertained at the Italian Fest, the Arcada Theatre, co-hosted on a weekly cable tv show titled "Powers Hour" with comedian host John Powers, and has performed at many up-scale country clubs and hotels including Medinah, Inverness, Barrington Hills, Ruth Lake, Oak Park, Naperville, Ritz Carlton, Hyatt, Trump International, and the Hilton Hotels. 

ABOUT

Why do you do what you do?
I do what I do because I find a sense of inner fulfillment and gratification which comes with performing for people. 

What are some projects you are currently working on?
Currently I'm in the process of writing some new songs to complete my cd.  
I'm very excited about the CD which will be a compilation of standard showtunes as well as some of my own originals. 

What are your goals for the short-term and long-term?
My goals for the next year would be to continue performing for corporate events and weddings. The next 5-10 years I would ultimately love to be performing and giving concerts to my supportive fans and audience in a large arena. I also strive to get back into singing jingles and hope to one day be singing commercials for your favorite products!

Who or what inspires you?
I'm inspired to write music from events that have touched my life and are impressionable to me. My parents have always been my biggest inspiration growing up. Considering my Mom's connection to Elvis and my Dad's outstanding piano skills, as a child I knew that music was all I wanted to do when I grew up! I also feel a sense of inspiration from Kenny Loggins who personally wrote me a letter from a cd I sent him and stated "You've definitely got chops!" 

If you could change anything about your industry what would it be?
I would like to see more Private Country Clubs allow a performer to invite their fan base so they can showcase their talents not only to the members of the club but the people who love and support them as well. 

What do you plan to do once you cross the millionaire mark?
I would continue to do the thing I love the most...MUSIC and be grateful and thankful to everyone who believed in my talents and supported me to get me to that point!

38 UNDERREPRESENTED WORLD WIDE TALENTS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!

What do you do and why do you do it? 
I am a professional singer/pianist/songwriter and I’ve chosen to do this because it is my innermost strength and being expressing myself creatively through music as its outlet. It brings me a self-gratification that no other vocation could possibly compare to.

What inspires you or motivates you to succeed?
I’ve always been most inspired by my parents who were both professional musicians. A huge impact is attributed to the fact that my mother was the opening singer for Elvis Presley when he toured in 1956. I started singing simultaneously with the time I started to talk. Music was something I would take with me. I’d sing with whatever was on the radio. It always was that release for me!
What are your goals in the next 5 years?
I aspire to be headlining to a crowd of 50,000 or more!
What are some struggles you have encountered in the process and how did you overcome them? 
I’ve encountered struggles which can be reflected in the insincerity of agents/producers in the music business. This led me to produce my own material and book my own shows. I became a stronger individual on account of this. 
How do you feel about the Fresh Faces Project
I am very excited about the Fresh Faces Project which allows opportunity and exposure though promotion for new talent and businesses to thrive on. It is a wonderful way for talent and new businesses which are developing in the Chicago area to take on the public relations and advertising media it offers. Fresh Faces is a genuinely authentic approach to promoting new talent and businesses. Creator, Calynn M. Lawrence is an aspiring woman to all!
