Lynette Brehm
Lynette “Neddy” Brehm easily stands on the shoulders of many of the other musicians in San Antonio. This singer songwriter has accomplished much in her career and has no intention on slowing down anytime soon.
“Neddy’s” grandmother was a professional opera singer for the San Antonio Opera company and was one of the first Hispanic women to sing on the radio in Texas in the 20’s and 30’s. With such a musical background it was no surprise “Neddy” picked up her grandmothers love for music.
Some of her accomplishments include:
- Runner-up of the VH1 Song of the Year Contest, Adult Contemporary Category for “We’re Meant To Be Together”
- Recent production of Neddy’s original song “We’re Meant To Be Together” produced and arranged by Randy Cantor (Grammy award winning producer for Alejandra Guzman and Grammy nominee for his arrangement of “Living La Vida Loca” for Ricky Martin)
- Top 25 in the Clear Channel national Star 98.7 (Los Angeles) Rock Star Contest
- Official Selection of “Alone This Christmas” music video at the Texandance International Film Festival and Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival
- Co-wrote Neddy’s original song “Tentacion Que Me Domina” with Edgar Cortazar (Latin Grammy Award recipient who’s creations have been recorded by Luis Miguel)
With her soulful voice she can sing and write songs in English and also Spanish. Which in turn makes her a multiple threat and sets her apart from a lot of singers. One moment she could be singing a soulful ballad in English, while the next an uptempo musical number in Spanish. She also has love and respect for playing her own instruments, especially the guitar. She says quote “Picking up the guitar was as natural as could be, it compliments the energy within.” We could not agree more.
One of the most fulfilling things she has done in her career was create a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting public school music programs. The “Music In The Schools” program helps assist music programs by creating positive music activities for the youth and bringing financial aid to music programs in public schools. The funding for such musical programs are dwindling and “Music In The Schools” is such an organization that takes pride into providing at least some sort of relief.
