SPC Pollyanna ENPRO
Pollyanna is a multi-talented entertainer who writes, sings and dances to her own original songs.
Pollyanna discovered her song writing ability after loosing her sister Caroline from a disease called Lupus in 1998. It was then when she wrote her first song “Fly to Heaven,” which is now the theme song for the Dorough Lupus Foundation, a non-profit organization established by her family to promote lupus awareness, education and funds for research centers to help find a cure for Lupus.
Her faith and unconquerable spirit have given her the ability to see the best in life, as she beautifully demonstrates in her debut album “Wings of Hope.” This album brings together inspirational sentiments of comfort and faith, with universal melodies and rhythms. Already two of her songs, “Fly to Heaven” and “We Will Meet Again,” have been awarded “Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year” for 2004 and 2005 from the “UCMVA Unity Awards.” In addition her song “Fly to Heaven” was also picked and now appears on the compilation album “A Tribute to Pope John Paul II”.
Even before releasing her album, Pollyanna has always remained busy performing her music as a solo artist or partnering-up with her younger brother Howard a/k/a Howie D. of the Backstreet Boys in countless celebrations throughout the United States and internationally in Germany, Italy, Holland, Poland, South America, Puerto Rico and Japan. She has also gained thousands of Latin American fans while touring as an opening act for the Backstreet Boys’ “Black & Blue Tour” that filled stadiums throughout South America, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Panama.
Pollyanna is a unique artist whose inspiring message is clear in her music and spirit. “Life is a journey filled with love, loss, hope, fear and faith,” she says. “Through music I am able to portray such feelings and I thank God for giving me the talent and opportunity to do so.”
