Kristy Lee's parents put her under Marty's training and care at 16 years of age moving her from her log cabin home in Oregon to Dallas where Marty gave her the best training in the industry. I remember Marty's first showcase with Kristy Lee right after she brought her to Texas.

It was at Joe T. Garcia's restaurant in Fort Worth. The mayor of Fort Worth was there, and even Belinda Rimes, Le Ann's mom. They all wanted to hear Kristy Lee and knew that if she was backed by Marty that she had to be incredible. She was and still is.

That night I asked Kristy Lee about her singing career. She admitted to being excited about singing but also confessed that she might want to be a professional softball player as well.

Marty put her through the ropes grooming her to be a star from vocal training, to stage presence, professionalism, style, and even financial guidance. Kristy worked hard and sang everywhere and anywhere. She even performed for my kiddo's middle school. She has a PHENOMENAL voice. So it's no surprise to any of us that Kristy Lee would wow the judges on American Idol.

Marty is not only a star maker but also someone with high standards and integrity, which is pretty rare to find in such a cut throat industry like the entertainment world. It's no wonder why parents are flocking to her asking for advice and seeking guidance on their child's singing and career possibilities.

Good luck, Kristy Lee!
