Goa, India –July 27th, 2010 – W.O.A International proudly announces the launch of their third volume in the Goa Chillout Zone CD collection. Comprising of 20 International artists from various genres from both the company's record label W.O.A Records as well as unsigned acts, it's an eclectic double CD bringing together some of the very best artists in independent music today. Importantly, it's part of an extremely worthwhile cause at the same time.

"The Goa Chillout Zone has proved to be a very successful compilation album for W.O.A Records and the artists on the first two compilations, with these albums we're not only bringing original and exciting music to the public," says Wanda Alvares, Executive Vice President / Head of Marketing, "we're also giving back to a cause we believe passionately in. For every CD sold, we utilise 10% of the company's share towards animal welfare"       

The situation of stray animals and their welfare is in dire straits in many regions of the world, it's a situation that's continuously in the news and the animal cruelty by many government officials handling the stray animals is alarming. W.O.A International recognizes that it's something that won't be changed overnight, but passionately believe that continued support in the fight against it will eventually win through.

The Goa Chillout Zone CD Vol. 3 is the third release in the planned five-volume collection, with the first two volumes breaking many records and topping several album charts. Bringing together the best that W.O.A International has to offer as well as unsigned independent artists worldwide, it includes the likes of Ross Royce, Freddie Long Band, Aquarius Blue, Martin Williams, as well as acts Peter Bayreuther, Yaz Alexander, Lawrence Cresswell and other Independent Music stars.   

Such has the success been in the first two volumes of the Goa Chillout Zone that W.O.A International is already planning the fourth volume, due for release in August 2011. Artists interested in appearing on Vol.4 are encouraged to submit their songs for submission onto the collection. With 10,000 copies being pressed and distributed worldwide to mega stores, retailers, radio stations, coffee shops and digitally to Amazon and iTunes etc as well as top clubs at holiday destinations like Ibiza, Goa, etc, it's an excellent opportunity for unsigned artists to be heard by large audiences. Each artist selected for the CD will receive royalties/licensing fees.

W.O.A International signs Ibiza based artist Cherie Nichole

Hollywood Actress & Model turned professional Singer joins the elite W.O.A International Artist Roster

Goa, India - 4th June, 2010 - A strong voice backed with years of acting and modeling experience around the world, Ibiza based Cherie Nichole, the singer with passion and soul that radiates from her voice and her compositions is now a part of the W.O.A International artist roster. 

"We are excited to sign on Cherie Nichole who we first heard off when she was to be a part of our radio promotions campaign a few months ago in India" says Pete Saunders, V.P Artist Management, W.O.A International, "after hearing her music and reviewing her fine experience as a model and actress with experience from around the world there was no doubt that we wanted to have her as a part of the W.O.A Artist Roster. Her profile will be well accepted in this part of the world"

Cherie has had a nomadic lifestyle traveling around the world acting and modeling, and it landed her on the magical island of Ibiza. She has been a musician since childhood and Ibiza provided the inspiration to write and sing with some of it's greatest artists.

"Ibiphonic – Moonstruck is my debut album, I feel that I have a universal soul that speaks not only to me, but speaks also to the world through this platform" says the Singer, "by being exposed to the enjoyment of music at a young age and feeling a connection to it I have been a musician for twenty years, which began with singing and later expanded into my passion to study the trumpet and piano among other instruments" 

Her singing mirrors the soul and challenges the human spirit. By projecting energy with passion, and the culmination of life experiences from her nomadic traveling, she offers a voice of wordly comfort and wants to share what's in her heart and mind to make a unique connection to other souls.

Cherie is expected to be in India this December on a promotional tour to promote her debut album 'Ibiphonc - Moonstruck' and event organisers / venue owners can contact W.O.A International for bookings of this amazing singer who captures audiences with her beauty and her voice.

W.O.A International signs UK's upcoming Jazz Star Yaz Alexander

Jazz music's new phenomenon now on the W.O.A International Booking Agency Roster

Goa India - 22nd May, 2010 - W.O.A International's eclectic mix of artists on their elite Artist Roster is being referred to as The most sought after artist list in and around India. With some of Rock, Pop, Metal & Chillout music's biggest names signed to W.O.A International there is however one genre that has constantly been growing at W.O.A international behind the scenes and that is Jazz and its various sub genres. In the past W.O.A International have helped their jazz artists reach unimaginable heights in the industry by having artists like Luna Blanca placed alongside artists like Youssouf N'Dour, Neneh Cherry & Nelly Furtado on Universal Music's major compilations. Various smooth jazz artists have hit top positions on main stream charts after being signed to W.O.A Records and these Jazz artists signed to W.O.A International are today some of the most booked artists on the circuit in India.

W.O.A International's A&R Division have done it again by signing a new rising jazz/reggae music star who is slated to be UK's next big sensation - Yaz Alexander. 

Yaz Alexander is one of the UK's unsung reggae / jazz music heroines whose history in those genres spans over twenty years. A former backing vocalist for UK reggae luminaries such as Pato Banton and the iconic Steel Pulse, Yaz showcases her sultry and sophisticated vocal ability on this her third solo release. Unlike her previous two releases, Life Begins (2007) and Cry For Freedom (2009) which were both almost exclusively orthodox reggae, One Step Closer sees this beautiful songstress fuse other music genres e.g. R'n'B, Soul, Jazz, Dancehall, Hip Hop & Bhangra to create a unique sound which gives credence to the claim that Yaz Alexander is not just a reggae / jazz music singer, rather she is a singer per se.

Since her solo debut in 2007, Yaz Alexander has become a regular fixture on the vibrant summer festival circuits of Europe and the UK and indeed she has also taken her mesmeric stage show as far a field as North America and the Caribbean. In 2007, Yaz was commissioned by an heritage lottery funded project to write an ode to commemorate the bi-centenary of the abolition of the slave trade in Great Britain and the track that she penned, "Cry For Freedom" was subsequently used incidentally in an edition of BBC TV's award winning documentary, Panorama – an episode contemporized by the fact that the subject of the episode was the rise of the now British Prime Minister, David Cameron.

Yaz Alexander is scheduled to be on the W.O.A Jazz Tour this year in India. Stay tuned for more info on this hot new Jazz Sensation right here.
