Beth Rudetsky began piano lessons at the age of 7 and continued her classical piano studies with concert pianist Morton Estrin receiving an advanced classical music degree at Hofstra University. She auditioned for the position of singer-pianist at composer Burt Bacharachs Restaurant in Oyster Bay, L.I. and for three years became the weekend house singer-pianist. There she met many entertainers such as Billy Joel and Neil Sedaka. She has sung on many pop-dance recordings and has written and performed her music for film, performed on Broadway and in many cabarets and blues clubs. Beth came up with the idea of combining her passion for reading crime-fiction novels along with her character-driven songwriting and created a new niche where she composes and sings original songs for authors novels. Her first venture was with UK author Zoe Sharp. The wonderful result is music/film videos featuring her original songs as opposed to the usual bland trailers that are out there and use only stock music and stock photographs.
