Bay Area Composer Fuses Classical Piano with Usher Track

San Francisco, CA, May 25, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Bay Area composer Wendy Loomis submitted her remix version of the Usher song "Climax" to the IndabaMusic.com contest. Her concept was to swirl an acoustic piano track around his beautiful voice. With many of the over 1400 submissions hip hop and funk-oriented with drum machines and bass, the unique quality of the piano creates a dreamy alternative.

The contest is vote-based. Fans can vote by visiting Wendy’s website and clicking the link to Indaba Music. www.wendyloomis.com
