Via her collaborations with Bubbles and Cheesecake, a six song collaboration with longtime collaborator singer-songwriter Holly Palmer aka Cheesecake, former vocalist with the Gnarls Barkley live band who\u2019s also worked with David Bowie and Dr. Dre, &nbsp;is the first in a series of multi-media collaborations with artists in various fields. The \u201cBubbles &amp; \u2026\u201d series is centered around the hyperactive website, alleewillis.com, an integrated music, art, multi-media technology, shopping and lifestyle experience, a kitschy and soulful domain that grew out of willisville as well as other recent projects Willis was developing that explored the dynamics of the creative process and the universal question, \u201cHas it got soul?\u201d Willis\u2019 foray into theater began in 2001 when she started consulting on musical direction and then composing the ultimately Tony-nominated music and lyrics for the show (the soundtrack album was also GRAMMY nominated). As reported by the&nbsp;<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/press\/nyt051127\/nyt051127.html\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times<\/a><\/em>, Willis, Russell and Bray worked in their idiosyncratic style, mixing high-tech tools &#8211; Ms. Willis\u2019 17 networked Macs, which they used for research, and programs that allowed them to digitally record complete orchestrations &#8211; and very low-tech instruments like an old manual eggbeater or sandpaper.\u201d The process the&nbsp;<em>Times&nbsp;<\/em>mentions echoes Willis\u2019 own evaluation of her fundamental style \u2013 across all the disciplines \u2013 as, \u201ca blend of the highest tech and design and the lowest <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/alleewillis.com\/kitsch\/\" target=\"_blank\">kitsch<\/a>.\u201d In 2006, Willis also contributed seven of her classic hits for Earth, Wind &amp; Fire to the EWF-themed \u201cjukebox\u201d musical&nbsp;<em>Hot Feet<\/em>, which helped her make Broadway history as the first woman \u2013 and only fifth person ever \u2013 to have written music for two shows opening on the Great White Way in the same season. It\u2019s a distinction placing her in an elite group including Georges Gershwin and Cohan, Irving Berlin and Marvin Hamlisch .Tracing back to her roots, Willis was raised in Detroit where the music of Motown got in her blood. She earned a degree in Journalism at the University of Wisconsin before moving to New York in 1969.&nbsp; She landed a copywriting job at Columbia and Epic Records, and turned to music and songwriting herself. Her first ten songs were released in 1974 on Epic Records as&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pMxvVsIMstQ\" target=\"_blank\">Childstar<\/a>. Bonnie Raitt, a fan of the album, gave Willis her first cover that year &nbsp;as she was working as a hat-check girl at the fabled Manhattan nightspots Catch A Rising Star and Reno Sweeney\u2019s. Willis then moved to Los Angeles, where she landed a publishing deal at A&amp;M in 1977 after being turned down by just about every other publisher in town. In 1978, she sold ten million records, and has since collaborated with Bob Dylan, James Brown, Herbie Hancock and countless other music luminaries.

It was at the same time that her music was regularly climbing the charts that Willis became a sensation for the performance art events she masterminded at&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/links\/IMG_1634.html\" target=\"_blank\">Willis Wonderland<\/a>&nbsp;which, in the late 1930\u2019s, was a major film studio\u2019s official party headquarters.

Always press magnets, the parties were early vehicles through which Ms. Willis freely expressed all her multi-media talents to serve one fabulous end. Among the most memorable are \u201cThe Night of the Living Negligee, 1-3,\u201d a series of all-girl pajama parties and the \u201cBorscht Belt Birthday Party,\u201d a wry-on-rye affair commemorating Willis being named,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/alleewillis-music\/neutron-dance\/theparty.php\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cone of the most dangerous subversives living in the U.S.\u201d<\/a>&nbsp;by Russian newspaper&nbsp;<em>Pravda<\/em>&nbsp;because they&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/alleewillis-music\/neutron-dance\/\" target=\"_blank\">mistranslated her hit song \u201cNeutron Dance\u201d as a nuclear-themed \u201cNeutron Bomb&#8221;.<\/a>In addition to causing Communist Russia-era angst, that song was a #6&nbsp;<em>Billboard<\/em>&nbsp;smash for The Pointer Sisters. \u201c\u201cNeutron Dance\u201d was part of the Grammy\u00ae-winning Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack as was \u201cStir It Up\u201d, one of the many songs she\u2019s penned for Patti LaBelle over the years.&nbsp; Willis\u2019 top hits also include: Earth, Wind &amp; Fire\u2019s \u201cSeptember\u201d (featured in&nbsp;<em>Babel<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Night At The Museum<\/em>) and \u201cBoogie Wonderland\u201d (a set piece in the animated smash&nbsp;<em>Happy Feet<\/em>), Pet Shop Boys with Dusty Springfield\u2019s \u201c<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/alleewillis-music\/whidtdt\/\" target=\"_blank\">What Have I Done To Deserve This<\/a>\u201d and Maxine Nightingale\u2019s \u201cLead Me On.\u201d The Cold War ended, and Willis later went on to also pen the Emmy-nominated #1 hit and top-selling television theme \u201cI\u2019ll Be There For You\u201d from&nbsp;<em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alleewillis.com\/friends\/\" target=\"_blank\">Friends<\/a>.<\/em> No matter how out-sized her musical success, or landmark accomplishments in any realm, Willis sees it as one piece of a far broader platform. In every aspect of Willis\u2019 creative process, the incorporation of new media and the interactive realm has been a constant since the beginning of the \u201990s. In 1991, a positively Paleolithic age in terms of mainstream computer use, her home was one of the first fully-wired, networked locations in Los Angeles. Today, it is one of the first all fiber houses.&nbsp;With everything converging via both Allee and Bubbles\u2019 efforts, Willis\u2019 signature vision and creative intelligence have entered a new phase.
