She performed at Zevenbergen Festival in Holland and went on to tour in 6 other countries. Her album and songs stayed on the European charts, that included mostly major artists, all summer.

Judy released a Christian album titled GRACE in January 2001. The first song on that album, a patriotic duet, (ONE NATION), co-written and sung with PHIL COLEY, from Bowden, GA, was dedicated to the new President of the US and the new Millennium. She received a thank you note from the White House, signed by GEORGE W. BUSH. It became another #1 song for her in March, 2001.

CHASING A DREAM, a country album released in the spring of 2001, also includes ONE NATION and 16 other original songs. The songs received abundant airplay, especially in Europe. Even though it has been several years since the last album release, various songs are still being played on worldwide radio. All of Ms. Welden's songs are

available online for digital downloads.

Over the years Judy has received many awards and nominations. A few of her awards are: International Female Recording Artist of the Year 1999, Album of the Year, (New Country, 1999), Song of the Year (FISHING FOR A NEW LOVE), co-written with Tom Littleby, American Horizon

Award and Co-Writer of the Year, with DJ Mia Heylen and Terrance Alan. In addition...Judy was nominated for 6 awards for the year 2001, including Artist of the 20th Century and Artist/Songwriter of the Year. Her most recent award was being awarded a HALL OF FAME trophy at the CCMA (Colorado Country Music Assn) Award ceremony in June, 2006. Judy was honored mainly for helping so many artist/songwriters get heard on worldwide radio from '93 to '99, publishing their original songs, and also starting the Treasure Coast Songwriter Assn.

With over 350 original songs to her credit, Judy has recorded 70 of them and most all have charted on the Independent charts, with 6 of them reaching #1. Those were I'M HITTIN' THE ROAD, LOVE CONQUERS ALL, SHELTER IN THE RAIN and ONE NATION (with co-writers Tina Billias, Tom Littleby and Phil Coley respectively), ABSTAIN- DON’T PLAY THE GAME (co-written with Rhonnie Scheuerman) and CHURCH CALLED THE RISEN SON (Judy’s lyrics to the public domain tune HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN). Dozens of her original songs have reached top 10 of the Independent charts. Fourteen (14) artists have recorded 32 of her songs.

Dubbed “WONDER WOMAN OF THE 90’S” by her then PR man, the late Gene Bear, after Judy released 10 compilation CDs with multiple artists/songwriters (including her own composed /recorded songs) in a 12 month period, she has since stopped releasing the compilations. Her focus now is on publishing songs written by herself and other songwriters she publishes in order to find suitable songs for talented artists. Like all Independent artists, she would love to have a major “hit” herself, thus the title of her latest album “CHASING A DREAM”.

Judy started the TREASURE COAST SONGWRITERS ASSN. (TCSA) in 1993, was the director for 4 years, later serving as Advisor. In 1995 she started FIRP (FAIRNESS IN ROYALTY PAYMENTS) to appeal to BMI and ASCAP concerning equality in royalty payments, requesting that their radio monitoring be updated to modern technology to assure that all songwriters be paid fairly, not just the major ones.

Since early 2003 Judy has been a resident in Gainesville, GA where she is still involved in musical endeavors.

With a successful career that spans more than 35 years, and having been nominated and accepted for inclusion in International Who’s Who In Music and Marquis Who’s Who In Entertainment & Who‘s Who Worldwide, Judy Welden’s musical star continues to shine!
