connected with the Recording Academy and it began with me being accepted as
a voting member of the Grammy¹s earlier this year and now with the news that
my new album ŒSo Good¹ is being considered for nominations in 9 categories
is just phenomenal news for me² says the Internationally acclaimed singer
songwriter, ³I can only hope that my music will get to the top 5 in some of
these nomination categories, but just the fact that the Grammy¹s have called
my music and placed it among the other ŒOutstanding Recordings¹ is the best
feeling in the world²

Oliver Sean is up for nomination consideration in 9 categories for his new
album ŒSo Good¹ including Best Composition and arrangement for non classical

WOA Records India Tour Update - 1st Nov 2011 - It was a great show yesterday
as the W.O.A International Music Festival kicked off the 4th Annual W.O.A
Records India Tour & Festival 2011.

The show started off at 6:20PM with Peter & Karin Bayreuther from Germany
opening the show followed by ViceroyBill from Canada, Matthais Sturm from
Germany and then French man Eric Dulle who got the crowd up on their feet
with his catchy tunes on his Sax, Metissia followed soon with her unique
vocal style and Kotadama the band from Australia got the show really moving
with their pop rock songs with some of the band members running amongst the
crowd and singing with them. The stage was then taken over by Jade Steel who
gave the crowd a taste of his original reggae tunes.

After that it was the headlining act of The Oliver Sean Band with Oliver
Sean getting the evening to a high with his new hits like So Good, Movies
and his past hit tunes like I like it. There was also a special song
dedicated by Oliver Sean to the late Norman Desouza a close friend and
supporter of the W.O.A Records India Tour since the beginning of this tour
in 2008. The crowd could not get enough with the Oliver Sean Band engaging
the crowd and having a great time on stage. This was soon followed by the
Minister of Power Mr. Alexio Sequeira and the Managing Director of W.O.A
International Ms Wanda Alvares along with the founder of WOA and president
of the company Oliver Sean together launching the Goa Chillout Zone Vol. 4
compilation CD.

The stage was soon taken over by the Venezuelean metal band Overhate who
gave the crowd a bit of a shock with their brand of Thrash metal with the
crowd enjoying the massive number of different genres and styles of music
that was portrayed at the show.

The finale of the evening was Oliver Sean and his band jamming with each and
every artist of the WOA Records India Tour and Festival joining him on stage
to sing Sweet home Alabama.

The evening then saw Eric Dulle, Jade Steel, Viceroybill, Matthias Sturm,
Garfield Oliveira and others come back on stage to do a few more songs
before the evening came to an end with all the artists on stage taking a bow
to a crowd that didn't want the show to end.

The artists now go on to Hyderabad at the The Club followed by The 567 in
