by Jonathan WidranA professional recording artist since the age of 13, the Florida based teen vocal powerhouse --who began singing as early as age two--has been a familiar sight on the Adult Contemporary charts since the release of Funkology XIII in the summer of 2005. "It Takes Two," her duet with Survivor lead singer Jimi Jamison from her debut Funkology XIII (which was co-produced by Motown Funk Brother, bassist Bob Babbitt), hit #9 on FMQB's AC40 Chart, was a #1 most added, and spent 20 weeks on the chart. Wolanin's teen empowerment anthem "Good" stayed on the same chart for 47 weeks, hitting #7. The song was featured on the Eye of the Tiger' CD that was sold at the University of Memphis NCAA Mens Basketball Games to help raise money for the team's ill former coach Larry Finch. The collection also featured such Memphis based greats as Al Green and the Bo-Keys. During the holiday season 2006, her cover of "Frosty The Snowman" from the follow-up release Christmasology hit #11 on Radio & Records' AC chart.

While Wolanin's previous recordings showcased her strengths as an interpreter of outside material, "Loud And Clear"--and the other songs she was working on for a multi-track EP release in late 2008-- represent for the first time her strengths as a songwriter. Turning to a unique marketing strategy involving various single track releases, "Loud And Clear" was released in various versions to DJs to create their own mixes; the extended remix hit #20 on the record pool charts. Over eight million people heard the radio edit of the same song in movie theatres in 2007 before and after Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. "Loud And Clear" was also licensed by MTV for use and has played on the TV shows "The Hills" and "Newport Harbor"; later that year, her version of "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" was broadcast in 140 countries on the EWTN network.

Wolanin has performed live with her band since age 12 as part of her annual Christmasology Show. which raises funds for children in need and also helps fund a permanently endowed college scholarship fund called the Rockin' Christmas Fund. In addition to visiting children's hospitals and providing personally signed CDs to children at the Shriners Hospitals nationwide, the singer is also a spokesperson for Youth Crime Watch of America, helping young people avoid problems on the internet; her online safety tips are featured in various languages on the YCWA website. A graduate of an international baccalaureate (IB World School) high school, Wolanin will be a full time student in the Fall of 2008 as she continues her career as a songwriter, recording artist and live performer.
