Recording artist lands global video debut

-

Country star Petrella has landed a global music video debut on VEVO.

“We’re happy with the result of creating a country music video that stands for the blue collar working class and honoring all involved,” says KC Amos, Grammy- nominated music video director/ Colored Wind Production­s.

Country star Petrella and her new music video, “Working in the USA,” are making their official global premier on VEVO.

This high- energy, actionpack­ed music video marks the official VEVO debut of one of the hardest- working women in country music, Petrella, with this year marking her 25th year in the country music business.

Directed by Grammy- nominated music video director KC Amos, the music video takes viewers on a reality storyline celebratin­g the spirit of the working class, with cast members including a milkman, car salesman, constructi­on workers, and other workers who join Petrella in a country rock anthem.

Petrella created major buzz at the top of 2013 as she prepared for the release of “Working in the USA.”

Top producers and industry profession­als surrounded her in support of the new country release, including Michael Jackson’s music director, Kevin Dorsey, Grammy- nominated country videograph­er, KC Amos, music marketing- promotions executive, Belinda Foster, and other top profession­als in the music industry.

The single was the first release off of her CD, “Shine On Me,” a “25- Year Silver Anniversar­y Celebratio­n.”

The high- energy music video for the single was produced on location in Los Angeles at Leimert Park, with celebrity cameos including Elgin Zerick ( producer/ Madonna) and a host of celebrated actors representi­ng the careers of the working class of America.

From a milkman to an accountant to a group of cheering students, “Working in the USA” is a musical- visual testament that celebrates the prosperity and hope of living the American dream through freedom of choice in the land of opportunit­y.

As an independen­t artist, Petrella is best known as a celebrated singer- songwriter with successful hit country singles that have attracted her to receive the Producer’s Choice Award.

Her first album was nominated for Album of the Year by the Nashville tracker magazine and her single “Blues Stay Away” soared to the No. 1 position in rank as an independen­t single by Cashbox magazine.

Petrella is presently “Working in the USA” in Hot Springs at the following locations: 3 p. m. March 29, PHOEBE/ The Uzuri Project, venue to be announced; 7 p. m. April 5, Rock Porch Concert Series, DeSoto Center, Hot Springs Village; 6 p. m.
