15 Year Old Whitney Wolanin's “It Takes Two” Featuring Jimi Jamison (Survivor) #1 Most Added on FMQB AC TOP 40 Radio Chart Alongside Superstars Madonna and Bon Jovi

Wolanin, Whose Anthemic Original “Good” Hit #7 on FMQB’s AC40 Chart And Remained in the Top 100 for 36 weeks is Headlining with The Commodores and Funk Brothers At The Naples Music Festival March 26, 2006

Whitney Wolanin's (pronounced WO-Lan-in) new single, “It Takes Two” (originally done by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston) with famed Survivor lead singer Jimi Jamison is the Most Added on FMQB AC TOP 40 Radio Chart (February 15, 2006).

Her last single, an original self-empowerment anthem appropriately and simply titled “Good,” has spent an amazing 36 weeks on FMQB’s AC40 Chart (peaking at #7 last November), and Wolanin’s lighthearted holiday gem “Christmas (The Warmest Time Of The Year)” was the most added song at radio four weeks in a row. Both songs appeared in the Top 100 Airplay Chart at the same time.

At the tender age of 15, the charismatic singer with the four and a half octave range is developing into more than simply a star, but an artist of substance and an inspiration to young girls with dreams everywhere. On March 26, Wolanin is scheduled to be one of the headliners—along with The Commodores--at the Naples Music Festival in Florida.

In 2005, she appeared on the front page of the Apple iTunes website twice. Wolanin also sang the national anthem before hundreds of thousands of people at Fenway Park, Shea Stadium and other major league parks, plus at a series of games for the Yankees, Red Sox, Twins, Phillies, Reds, etc. and also at Pro Player Stadium before a Miami Dolphins game. She has five baseball games scheduled already for the 2006 season.

While Wolanin, currently hard at work on her second album, is eager to go on her first full-scale tour, she is focused on maintaining a balance between making music and being a regular teenager. No matter where her career takes her, she is adamant about remaining enrolled at her high school, where she is in the International Baccalaureate Program, an intense course of study, which assigns college level work. While playing basketball, softball and volleyball, Whitney maintains a straight A average.

“There are so many things in life that I enjoy, but ever since I can remember, singing was the one thing I knew I was going to do,” Wolanin says. “It’s a lot of fun to have all these things happening career-wise, but on a more meaningful level, I love having people relate to the music, and relate to what I’m going through in my life through the songs I sing. When they sing along, I know I’m reaching them, and there’s nothing greater for me than experiencing that emotional connection.”

"It Takes Two" is the latest single off Funkology XIII, the singer’s debut project whose title reflects the set’s lively old school-meets-modern pop/rock grooves and the age Wolanin was when she recorded it. Produced by Motown “Funk Brother” Bob Babbitt with the singer’s father, 35 year music industry veteran Vincent Wolanin, the collection is a fun-filled gathering of soul classics, some very familiar (“This Old Heart Of Mine,” “What Becomes of The Brokenhearted,” “Young And In Love”) and others magical but a bit more obscure (Martha and The Vandellas’ “Quicksand,” Smokey Robinson’s “Head To Toe”).
