"I was drawn to 'Mister Snow' because not only does it have one of the most stunning melodies, it is also story-driven and reveals the character's dreams," said Weiss. "My friend Carl Culley and I put our heads together to transform this classic tune into something modern and super sultry. He fully produced this original track from scratch, drawing inspiration from songs like 'All Night' by Beyoncé and 'Thinkin Bout You' by Frank Ocean. It's still has the classic sentiment, but my 'Mister Snow' is a bit more sensual. We had a blast creating this arrangement and can't wait for everyone to hear it!"

Weiss has gained an international following from her performance and coaching videos as well as her web series, "Breaking Down The Riffs." She made her Broadway debut in Everyday Rapture (u/s Menonettes) and was most recently seen in the Off-Broadway musical Emojiland (Construction Worker). National Tours include Les Miserables (swing) and Wicked (ensemble-u/s Elphaba). Regional credits include Ghost (Molly), Chess (Florence), and Saturday Night Fever (Candy). She can be heard on the recordings of The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen, The Incredibles 2, and various new musical theatre composers' albums. Weiss was an "American Idol" Season 4 Semi-Finalist and graduated with a BFA from Penn State.
