April was born and raised in Long Beach City, California. At the tender age of 15, after some rural living and a seriously screwed up domestic situation, with ten bucks in one hand and a garbage bag filled with her clothes in the other, she hopped on a Greyhound bus to the San Fernando Valley to flee, and also to seek out her idol, Pat Benatar. (Hence, the song Runaway)
After her first singing demo at 16 (her other early influences were Klaus Meine of the Scorpions, Joan Jett, Chrissie Hynde & Annie Lennox, etc.), she sang for two years in Germany at twenty, drank and loved the Hefeweizen, then returned to California—homesick.
April was soon chosen by prominent record producer Gingio Muehlbauer to cut a CD, and the result is 1997’s powerful 6-song CD Gonna Get Close.
A mature performer with passion and real guts—not to mention technical control—April considers the new music very truthful, because she only writes about her own truths. Her attitude is cocky. The music is honest. Hearing her howl at you at the end of the set during an encore is something you will not forget, and something few if any female rock vocalists can equal.

ROCK CITY NEWS - March 18, 1999
When I first saw April Waters I figured "just
another girl band, same old, same old". Well I'm
happy to tell you that I was wrong!
With a rich fullness to her voice April took control of the stage. Her voice has a depth and a range that I think is missing from most of the "same old, same old" chick bands. There is a lot more to April than that. In talking to her I found her eager and ready to face the challenges of the music scene. She already knows that not everyone plays by the same set of rules.
She is backed up by some very good musicians, Mike on guitar, Francis on drums, Martin on bass, Mark on keyboards and Allyson her back up singer. They make up a well rounded group. They have been together for about a year. Eight months of that were spent in rehearsal. Their hard work shows and they perform well together. April grew up being a big fan of Pat Benatar and now Garbage. Their influence is there and yet April Waters is her own person and artist doing her own music.
April is down to only about 20 CDs left so get in touch and get yours today.
