At the 2004 Mountain Stage NewSong Contest for performing songwriters, thirteen-year-old Chelsea Richardson amazed the judges with her performance of 'Cartoonland', a song about domestic violence she co-authored with Freddy Bradburn. Competing live against nine talented and experienced performing songwriter finalists who had been selected from nearly 1300 entries from across the country, Chelsea captured the grand prize, earning herself an appearance on Mountain Stage the next day that was later broadcast around the world.
NewSong recently interviewed Chelsea -- not only to get to know her better, but also to learn about the process that she and Freddy Bradburn went through in co-writing ?Cartoonland?.
