A DAY WITH KARA DIOGUARDI

On Friday, Gary, Kaylyn, Chris and I (on official Sixteen Blue business) went over to Kara's house up in the Hollywood Hills to shoot the open of a show they are working on about her life. Kara is an incredibly talented singer and songwriter and although she has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard, she chose instead to make her mark by writing hit songs for other people...like Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, Enrique Iglesias, Hillary Duff, Katherine McPhee and tons of others. She was on the cover of People Magazine last year but she would never actually tell you that but I took this picture of a poster her dad had made from it.

This is Kara being really embarassed by some old home movies we got to see. I think this one is going to end up as another one of dad's posters for the office. :)

We spent the first hour or so playing with Stephen's new puppy, Kirby. Stephen is Kara's business partner in their publishing company, Art House Entertainment. www.arthouseentertainment.com

And from the back seat of the car on our way to the studio...


After a few hours at the house, we headed over to meet Nick Lachey and Mitch who were working on some songs with Kara.






Kaylyn and I actually managed to get locked in the building somehow but in separate areas. She was stuck inside the parking lot while I was trapped on the upstairs balcony. Luckily Mitch came to our rescue to let us out. Thanks Mitch!
