India’s largest International Independent Music Company signs Mexico’s hottest jazz act

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Goa, India – Oct 19, 2009 – Jazz is fast becoming one of India's most requested genre's when it comes to International music in India and some of the finest International Jazz artists are introduced to fans in India by W.O.A Records. W.O.A International - The Music Company has added to its list of top selling artists by signing on Mexican Jazz artist Diego Ramirez to its roster.

"Jazz is a top selling genre in India when it comes to International music and we are proud to say that we have some of the best Jazz musicians from around the world signed to us" says Wanda Alvares, Executive Vice President and Marketing Director, W.O.A International. "With the signing of Diego we have added to the list of Jazz stars we have on the roster now and this is good news for Jazz fans across the region".

Diego Ramirez is an extraordinary jazz pianist and composer, with pianist brilliance and staggering creative energy.  His CD 'El Ultimo Chilam Balam' was named best jazz album of 2008 by L.A music awards.  Diego Ramirez is continuing his winning streak with his song 'Andrea' which earned Jazz Runner up in Simon Cowell's (American idol Judge) UK Song writing Competition. Also worth mentioning is his song Ka'Kau' which received a Honourable Mention at Billboard's Song writing Competition.

"When I was twenty I had my first exposure to jazz and decided to become a jazz pianist and composer and within a year the Diego Ramirez Trio was set up in Cancun" says the front man of the Diego Ramirez Trio, "my music and compositions are influenced by my admiration for Mexican classical composers Silvestre Revueltas, Manuel M. Ponce, and Carlos Chavez and also by improvisational musicians such as Miles Davis, but it was Mayan music which gave birth to my original compositions"

Keeping with the theme and format of volume 1 this compilation also is an eclectic double CD bringing together some of the very best artists in independent music today.

With the governments in many countries not providing facilities or funding to help stray animals it is a sad state of affairs for all animals.

W.O.A International signs on first multi genre DJ/Rapper/Dancer – Demetrius

US Performer par excellence 'Demetrius' signs exclusive recording
contract with India's largest International Independent Record Label
& Global Entertainment Co. W.O.A Records.

Goa, India – Jul 02, 2009 – The W.O.A Artiste and Repertoire team has
always discovered musicians & performers who are different in their
musical styles especially when signing them to the exclusive and
highly sought after roster of the W.O.A International label - W.O.A
Records, This time the W.O.A A&R team has done it again with the
signing of an artist who just cannot be defined by one genre. Record
labels around the world usually frown upon non-Definition of a genre
for an artist's music, however with an artist as versatile as
Demetrius all rules have changed.

"As a performer this artist can hold on to an audience of any size and
this is what the music industry is now grabbing on to – Artists who
can perform and hold on to an audience not just for the duration of a
2 hour performance but hold on to them as fans for years to come" says
Oliver Sean, Founder, W.O.A Records, "with the signing of Demetrius it
is an unprecedented move as he doesn't fit into one specific genre
which is a blessing for venues and event organisers who can use an
artist like Demetrius at various shows and events".

A born entertainer, Demetrius started out at an early age. Even with
various pitfalls early on in life this artist has now emerged as a
fully rounded performer and artist. "I don't want to cater to just one
specific type of fan base" says the entertainer, "I think an album
should be able to carry its worth for all 10 to 15 songs and it
shouldn't be just about singles"

With the International infrastructure that Global Entertainment
Company W.O.A International offers its artists through W.O.A Records,
W.O.A Management, W.O.A Events and W.O.A Media Studios; Demetrius has
all the support he needs now to break into the International music
scene and prove that he truly is an International star that he dreams
of being.

W.O.A Records is all set to do a worldwide release of Demetrius'
latest album titled 'Sumtindifrent'. The artist is also scheduled to
tour India on a promo tour during his music video shoot, which will be
shot in India later this year. Stay tuned to W.O.A Internationals
