MUSIC IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE…
A successful singer, songwriter, actress, model, and television host, Beverley Mahood is truly a dynamic entertainer.
Though in many respects a seasoned veteran of the entertainment industry, Mahood’s career is set for a new beginning in 2013. An exclusive management deal with Nashville-based All Entertainment promises a new foray for Mahood into the competitive US market, a step she has been preparing for since the release of her award-winning debut album in 1998.
"There was something so exciting about releasing that first album," says Mahood of her debut CD Girl Out of the Ordinary. "Dreams were big and possibilities seemed endless. That excitement is back. With my new partnership with Brad Allen (of All Entertainment) it’s like starting out all over again, beginning a brand new chapter in my life and my career."
Successful chapters of Mahood’s past musical journey include Lace (1999), Moody Blue (2004), and Unmistakable (2009), each album as diverse and acclaimed as the entertainer herself.
"Each album I’ve done is reflective of the time of my life in which I recorded it," says Mahood. "My music is the story of my life. It’s honest and real. I don’t ever hide behind misleading lyrics. As a performer and individual, I have my own style and would like to be considered a strong woman with something intelligent to say through a heartfelt sound."
Beverley’s firm belief that everything in music starts with the song enables her to approach her songwriting with an unequalled passion and appreciation for the craft. (Mahood penned "Come to Me," a song recorded by Celine Dion for her platinum-selling "Miracle" album in 2004.) Lessons about love, loss, and personal growth are all part of Beverley’s musical mix, issues that she has explored as much for her own sake as for the sake of her audience.
That loyal listening audience broadened in 2004 when Beverley began hosting CityTV’s BT Television in Vancouver. Beverley has since become one of CMT Canada’s most popular personalities, hosting several series for the network, including CMT Central, Karaoke Star, Ultimate, Project Mom/Project Dad and now, the runaway hit Pick A Puppy, a family-oriented series heading into its third season on CMT, YTV and The W Network.
"Hosting television has brought me closer to what people really care about," says Beverley. "I’ve found that the more you share with them, the more they will grow with you." Beverley’s latest foray on the small screen is a made-for-television movie that was filmed in Nashville earlier this year. She plays Anneliese, the lead character in Changing Seasons, an emotional and heartfelt story of a devoted single mom looking for a fresh start. The movie, directed by Jason Dallas and co-starring Dan Cortese, will air in late 2013.
If there’s anything that rivals Beverley’s passion for entertaining, it’s her dedication to community. Closest to Beverley’s heart are initiatives for children. She is a devoted supporter of Juvenile Diabetes, the Alberta Children’s Hospital, and the David Foster Foundation. She is currently the national spokesperson for the Pink Mitten Campaign (www.pinkmitten.com) in support of breast cancer research. And remarkably, 2013 will mark Beverley’s 16th year hosting the Kinsmen Foundation’s annual Telemiracle Telethon ( www.telemiracle.com), which raises millions for those in need in the province of Saskatchewan.
In the past couple of years, Mahood has performed for some very exclusive audiences, including the G8 World Leaders in Toronto, British Royals William and Kate (on their first official trip to North America,) for the men and women of the Canadian military during a two-week tour of Afghanistan, and most recently for a crowd of hundreds of thousands as host of the CBC Canada Day Celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
Beverley now resides full time in Nashville, Tennessee, and is putting the final touches on an album set for release early this year.
"The music is definitely me," says Mahood. "It is honest, it is real, it is inspired and I think people will appreciate that. I am beginning a new chapter in my life and career. Have you ever had a dream come true? I have! Now, dreams and opportunities seem endless and achievable."
