How was the transition from Switzerland to America? Do you travel back & forth?

It’s really different. It’s a slightly difficult change, although I welcome that change. In Switzerland everything is safe and comfortable, and you don’t get encouraged to pursue big accomplishments in music or entertainment. In America, it’s all about how everything is possible. You can reach your wildest dreams and win big. This also means that, unfortunately, you can lose big too, but it makes you fight to chase those dreams even more.

I travel back and forth a lot. I do most of my major songwriting and recording in the US along with most of my photo shoots and press. But I do a lot of shows in Switzerland also, so I have to be back and forth right now.

When did you start singing?

I started singing when I was a little girl. My family is really musically gifted. All of my three brothers went to a boys choir, and I obviously couldn’t join them, so I went to the Zürich opera children’s choir. There, I learned how to sing and perform on stage. Over the next few years I sang in a gospel choir, played violin and piano, and rocked out with the coolest school band ever, but in reality we sucked, haha. Once, I sang with Celine Dion in front of 44,000 people. That was one of the most amazing experiences and actually the moment when I really wanted to become an artist. CONTINUE READING

Buzz Track: I Can Do Anything

Lovey got her start on the stage being a competitive dancer and participating in local competition. It was at the Portland Teen Idol competition where she hit the musical jackpot and met singer/songwriter/producer Geoff Byrd. Her first single “Right Now,” was co-written with John Oates, who is best known as an American rock, R&B, and soul musician of Hall & Oates. Lovey was later introduced to producer/writer Steve Sundholm (Carrie Underwood, Hall & Oates). They began to work with and develop Lovey and co-wrote her next single “Nothing Can Stop Me.” PJ Bianco (Demi Lovato, Fifth Harmony, Jonas Brothers) co-wrote and produced her third single “Stupid Boy,” to which Lovey recorded her first music video, picking up steam among her peers. She has also participated in the Kidzbop “Save Text or No Text” cyber-bullying campaign.
