== History ==
Masi, originally from Winnipeg, joined the Parachute Club in 1983, after its initial founding members, Billy Bryans, Lorraine Segato and Lauri Conger, had been offered a management and recording contract with Current Records. She was with the band between 1983 and 1986, leaving after the band's Canadian tour in support of its third album.〔Canadian Pop Encyclopedia, (Biography of Parachute Club ); www.jam.canoe.ca.〕 Some of the songs she co-wrote while with the band include "Slip Away" (from ''Parachute Club''), "At the Feet of the Moon" (title track and lead single from ''At the Feet of the Moon'') and "Secret Heart (Wild Zone)" (from ''Small Victories''). She has contributed to the recordings of Martha and the Muffins〔Who shared the same recording label (Current Records) and the same producer (Daniel Lanois).〕 and Raffi, among others, and has also collaborated with the band Images in Vogue.〔(Images in Vogue 2002 Discussion Group ); www.espanol.groups.yahoo.com.〕
Subsequent to her departure from the Parachute Club, Masi's involvement as a professional musician has been less prominent. Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, she continues to perform on occasion and to contribute to the recordings of others. She is active in supporting those affected by HIV/AIDS,〔See Living Positive Resource Centre, ("Dining Out for Life" Raises $1,750 ), News Release, April 4, 2006; www.livingpositive.ca.〕 and is also a supporter and fundraiser for Bicycles for Humanity, a Kelowna-based charitable organization providing bicycles to impoverished persons in Africa.〔Lori-Anne Charlton, (Profile of Bicycles for Humanity ), The Kelowna Daily Gleaner, April 6, 2007; www.bicycles-for-humanity.org.〕
