Anderson Fair presents Wendy Colonna.

Wendy Colonna is a Louisiana girl with a blend of Cajun and Italian ancestry; a perfectly sexy combo that translates well on her latest musical offering. A young woman who has decidedly come into her own, the dark-eyed Colonna fills up her musical space with deep-down retro roots and soul flavor on her newest album, We Are One. Produced by well-known & respected musical maestro Papa Mali, Louisiana native, once reggae come funk slash rock ‘n roll musician. Colonna’s album indeed showcases an easy- going manner with an strong, throaty voice, conjuring a distinctive & rich sound that sings volumes about her roots and her commitment to her love for creating music.

“This album is the culmination of a lot of hard years on and off the road sticking with what I know and love best – music,” says Colonna, who admits that the life of a musician isn’t an easy one to choose, but who also can’t imagine chucking her dream. “I’m fortunate to be doing something that I feel so committed to,” Colonna reiterates. “Everyone needs an accessible means and a language for caring for themselves. Making music and yoga are mine.”

Like a rock in hurricane, Colonna will continue to move through the music business with the wind behind her, a force of nature that is consistent, strong and rich, like her pipes and her stories.
