VIP trip music to Keri's ears By Jocelyn Watts - Fraser Coast Chronicle.

THE universe is shining on Hervey Bay's music star Keri McInerney.

Despite taking time off early this year to recover from a minor operation, she is basking in a series of lucky breaks that promise big things to come.

In April she was chosen to compete in the World Championship for Performing Arts at Hollywood next month against entertainers from 51 countries.

While networking on Facebook and Twitter, McInerney linked up with Gregg Assing, producer for Grammy Award-winning British-based performer Billy Ocean, who had a string of international pop hits in the 1970s and 1980s.

“Gregg said they were coming to Australia and invited me to be a VIP guest at their Sydney performance.”

That was last week and McInerney is still on cloud nine after spending two full days with Ocean and his crew.

“It was absolutely huge,” she said. “The universe is looking after me at the moment.

She said Assing loved her music and agreed to co-write with her. He would also produce some of her tracks and help her expand into the UK market.

Meanwhile she is packing her bags in preparation for Hollywood. 'I am looking forward to a succesful trip into the USA'.
