Heidi Marie Pillion is an inspirational singer from Georgia, USA, who shows age is just a number. Having undergone a life-changing transformation, losing 145lbs, Heidi is more confident than ever and it shows. Her voice possesses raw talent with a soulful tone and impressive range that compliment her ‘country girl’ feel.
When Heidi isn’t performing with The Troubadour Heart Band and working on new music, she likes to sing with her son – singer-songwriter Preston Pillion. Preston’s grandfather gifted him a guitar at the age of three and he was writing his own songs at nine. Although Preston wasn’t big enough to hold the instrument properly, his grandfather suspected he would follow in his mother’s footsteps and possess the same musical prowess – and thankfully he did.
Heidi grew up with a love for music. As a youngster, she would spend hours listening to her father’s record collection; The Beatles, The Carpenters, Abba, Barbara Streisand. Although Heidi had an uncharted love for music she felt as though she didn’t fit the ideological image of pop stars on the radio. Now wiser and more confident in herself, Heidi believes that if she had the chance to meet her adolescent self she would tell her: “you audition for whatever the hell you want“.
She yields nothing but the utmost encouragement for her talented son Preston boasting her overtly positive message – always assuring Preston to believe in himself and his music and to be comfortable in his own skin. Heidi Pillion beams positivity and light – and it’s prevalent in the way she sings. Her warm and heartfelt vocals deliver a lasting feeling that’s hard to shake. “Don’t try to impress them, try to impress yourself and that way you will always stay true to who you are.”
