Malibu Singer’s Daughter Takes Part
in New Reality Show
• 22-Year-Old Is Excited about
Stretching Her Talents and Growing As a Performer
Malibu may be home to more talented
individuals than many other
communities. The community may also offer more ways for
that talent to find its way into the spotlight.
This Thursday, one of Malibu’s young
talents will appear in a television show that she hopes is
going to make the city’s residents proud to call her
their own.
Chloe Rose Lattanzi, 22,
daughter of longtime local resident Olivia Newton-John,
will be featured as a possible up-and-coming musical talent on
MTV’s new show, “Rock the Cradle.”
“I just want to have
fun. I’m doing this more for me because I want to prove
to myself that I can do it,” Lattanzi said. “[The
show] is an amazing way to get your face out there and I think
it will be an amazing growing experience as a person. Anything
in life you’re afraid of, you should do.”
The new series that airs
Thursday, April 3, at 10 p.m. selects nine children of rock
icons to compete against each other to see who has what it
takes to follow in their parents’ rockin’
footsteps. The competition is nine weeks long.
Having grown up in Malibu,
Lattanzi is no stranger to public awareness of her
musical heritage.
She will perform in front of a
panel of judges live on the show that sends one contestant
packing each week. Each rock star progeny hopes to win the
ultimate prize: taking his or her first step toward
becoming a superstar.
“This may sound strange
but I really just want to be present and enjoy myself,”
Lattanzi said. “I don’t have any expectations of
stardom, That’s not why I’m doing it. The key
to being happy in life is going for your passions because life
is just too short. I’m trying to remain present, and
I’m really learning a lot.”
The contestants include Landon
Brown, son of Bobby Brown; Lucy Walsh, daughter of the
Eagles’ Joe Walsh; MC Hammer's daughter,
A’Keiba Burrell-Hammer; Lara Johnston,
offspring of the Doobie Brothers’ Tom Johnston, Chloe
Rose Lattanzi, Crosby Loggins, son of Kenny Loggins;
Jesse Money, rocker Eddie Money’s daughter;
Jesse Snider, son of heavy metal icon Dee Snider; and Lil
Al B. Sure!, R&B singer Al B. Sure!’s son.
“[The other competitors]
are all amazing talents,” Lattanzi added.
“It’s cool because from what I gather none of us
view it as a competition; we’re just trying to find our
own way. We’'re very supportive of each other and I
have a lot of respect for everybody.”
Lattanzi has been singing and
writing music since she was 11 and her upcoming album can
be considered a kind of alternative pop genre with an
industrial influence, as well as some soul thrown in there. The
album can soon be purchased on iTunes.
