Folky-Pop-Rock songs for a romantically challenged audience. Eclectic, witty and Beatle-esque in her approach, it's a continuing soundtrack of enchanting optimism and intoxicating possibility. A "must-have" for the single (& looking) woman.
Bio / Background
"An insanely original singer/songwriter. While listening to Deborah, all one can do is just sit back and enjoy the ride through her wickedly imaginative, joyfully creative and always entertaining mind."
-Phil Swann
songwriter/ Dreamworks skg
With compelling songs as her compass, Deborah Poppink navigates the tricky
terrain between love and commitment. "If he's married or an insomniac/If he's
a flat broken, chain smoking work-a-holic/If he's a loser that's for me," she
sings in "Chasing Lunatics." Although the wedding band gleams in another
song, "That Married Man," "Sagittarian Girl" takes her to the other side
altogether for a playful one-nighter ("The next morning in front of my
car/She kissed me good-bye on the lips.")
These bittersweet tales connect Poppink directly to her romantically-challenged audience. Accordingly, network hits including Jack and Jill and The X-Files, utilize these songs for dramatic effect.

Deborah grew up with parents who embraced the mind-expanding culture of the Left Coast. At three years of age, Deb and Mom would boogie in matching white go-go boots before mother departed to dance professionally. Deborah's first musical instrument was a plastic organ; even at three, she
could effortlessly pick out melodies by ear. Soon after, she began studying
piano.
Her family lived, for a spell, in the tainted heart of Hollywood. "On Friday
nights we'd drive down and look at the prostitutes," Deborah recalls. "The
male ones were on Selma." When the family moved to the staid Pacific
Palisades ("Where I was the weird hippie kid"). Deborah's father, in his PR
gig, represented Washburn guitars. One day he brought home a guitar and
Deborah was entranced.
As a young teenager, her destiny was foretold when she sat through
Beatlemania a total of thirteen times. Soon, she was constructing fragments
of her own songs and multi-tracking vocals. After graduation, accepted into
the prestigious music program at the University of California at Berkeley,
African drumming and dancing were tandem revelations.
World culture became real life as Deborah began traveling to Greece and
Italy, and to Bali, where she studied gamelan. "Once a week I would walk down this trail through the jungle for my lesson," she recalls. Subsequent
destinations included Malaysia and Thailand. She has since performed in the
bus station at Budapest, sung in the streets of Hanoi, teamed up with the rug
dealers in Istanbul, entertained in the fragrant coffeeshops of Amsterdam,
and harmonized around campfires on the Isle of Lesbos. She has written songs on 12-hour bus trips across the Laotian frontier and on empty planes across endless oceans.
In Los Angeles, Deborah established her music career with a series of high
profile bands including Cafe Samba and Pop Inc., huge groups with horn
sections and batteries of percussionists. These days, it's a simpler sound.
"I'm stripping it down to just the guitar," she says, "because of the songs.
I whittle away at what's extraneous: if it works in this format, it works."
Deborah Poppink and her songs, both eminently accessible, resonate with
marked dichotomies as humor balances vulnerability and joy checks sadness.
"This is me without my charisma/Do you love me anyway?" she inquires with
poignant frankness. Obviously, her songs are a soundtrack to a continuing
journey of enchanting optimism and intoxicating possibility. "I feel very
vibrant and very here," she confirms, "there's nobody else I'm trying to be."
