The compilation was a way to give these exceptional artists a world stage and introduce their music to a wider audience. The first Volume of the Goa Chillout Zone was a runaway success when mainstream radio and top lounge venues across holiday destinations worldwide started giving the cd some great rotation.

As the album was released purely to promote the artists with absoluetely no returns in terms of profits or even breaking even for the label, the compilation gained a lot of goodwill from the press, radio and fans.

With in store distribution across major record stores, top radio stations giving the album prime time rotation, national advertising budgetrs allocated for the album by WOA Records for national TV and press to further promote the CD, the Goa Chillout Zone is now known ad the best indie chill aqlbum in the world.

Goa Chillout Zone Vol.5 Global Chillout Compilation - Last Call for songs.



Goa Chillout Zone Vol.5 - Last Call

Last chance to get your song on the 5th Annual Goa Chillout Zone Compilation CD - Submit your song

The Goa Chillout Zone made a mark in the chillout music scene in 2009 when the very first Goa Chillout Zone Vol.1 was picked up by iTunes and promoted in their WORLD ROOTS category. The compilation went on to be featured alongside the Cafe Delmar and the Buddha Bar compilations across major cd stores globally. W.O.A Records released 10,000 copies to radio and media and distributed free copies to clubs and lounges across Ibiza, Goa, Dubai and other holiday destinations. The rest as they say is history. 

Released purely as a promotional CD to give exceptional Independent chill and easy listening artists a global platform, where they can compete on the world stage, the Goa Chillout Zone album was the only one of its kind 'INDEPENDENT' album that had a substantial marketing budget alloted to PROMOTE the CD and also received support from major label distribution partners across the world. With free copies given to customers at A class CD stores and the fantastic media support received, the artists were truly the WINNERS of this campaign, with several of the songs hitting the Radio charts AND Retail charts, as the CD stores logged in the discounted CDs as retail sales, which took Volume 2 of the Goa Chillout Zone to No.2 and various the Top 10's across the retail charts in several regions - Not a small achievement by any means. Submit your song for the Goa Chillout Zone Vol.5 - Click Here to send us your song

One of the biggest successes of the Goa Chillout Zone is German smooth Jazz/Chillout artist Luna Blanca whose song was picked up by WOA Records licensing partners Universal Music Australia for their own compilation titled Cafe World Lounge (Universal Music Australia). Luna Blanca has since then been featured on each and every Goa Chillout Zone compilation that has been released.

Goa Chillout Zone Vol.5 is the highly anticipated 5th compilation in this series. Waiting for the right moment to release the album so as to achieve the most media and radio attention, W.O.A International - The Music Company carefully planned the release in conjunction with distribution and media partners and have announced that the album will be launched on August 29th 2013 with an intensive marketing campaign planned around the release. There are a few slots avaiable for the right songs/artist for the 5th anniversary Goa Chillout Zone album.

If you have a song that falls in the Chillout, Easy Listening, Smooth jazz or even a mellow Pop track you should consider submitting for the 5th anniversary Goa Chillout Zone album. If your music is more main stream and falls in the Rock, Alt, Main Stream Pop genres you should instead consider submitting for the Independent No.1's Vol. 2 which is scheduled to be launched on 31st October at the W.O.A International Music Festival with an equally impressive marketing and PR campaign and distribution support.

SUBMISSION DETAILS: There is a 10 USD submission fee to submit your song for consideration for this global compilation. If your song is selected and you are accepted for Vol. 5 of the Goa Chillout Zone Compilation CD there is a 250 USD inclusion fee to be part of the compilation. From the sales of CDs the artists will also receive an 8% royalty pro rata off the net dealer price of the album. Being primarily a promotional CD the album receives extensive national television ads (Vh1/Star/Zee) and FM Radio advertising and promotions (AIR, Mirchi, MUST), the CD also gets in-store distribution at major retail outlets worldwide and press coverage on traditional and online publications.

This the LAST CALL to submit songs for the Goa Chillout Zone Vol. 5  - submissions will END on 15th July. Send us your Song today - CLICK HERE

Best Wishes,

The Goa Chillout Zone Team

International Portuguese Music Star launches new single live on New York talk show

International Portuguese Music Star launches new single live on New York talk show - The Portugal News, 28th June 2013

http://theportugalnews.com/news/international-portuguese-music-star-launches-new-single-live-on-new-york-talk-show/28729

Portuguese singing sensation Oliver Sean, who is currently making his mark on the international mainstream music scene, is to launch his new single '(Are We) Doing That' to a worldwide audience via a live television broadcast in New York City this July.

Sean, whose mother is Portuguese, will perform his new single live to a global audience from a privileged TV platform based in the Big Apple. 
The show in question is 'Legends TV', hosted by Evan Ginzburg, co-producer of the Oscar-nominated film 'The Wrestler', and will be broadcast live on 27 July. 

It will also be simultaneously broadcast on recording company WOA's TV Show as a 'WOA TV Special' live from NYC (see: www.woarecords.com) This comes as added acclaim following Sean's 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards nomination.

The anticipated new song is described as featuring Oliver Sean's distinctive style of percussive rock placed on a bed of foot-tapping Indian Tabla's, lending the main stream pop/rock song the inimitable Oliver Sean world-beat sound. 

His trademark eclectic global music style is described as being "as exotic as his mixed Portuguese / Italian Lineage."

He says: "I attribute my style of music and its world beat elements to time I spent growing up in Goa, Dubai and London and my mother's favourite Portuguese music that I grew up listening to, but I think my rock sensibilities are pure American."

Fans can expect a music video for the song '(Are we) Doing That' to hit International channels this August, and a full length album of songs is planned for release in December 2013  

Over the past decade Sean has gradually ascended from local performer in Goa and Dubai to international rock phenomenon, playing tours across America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

Earlier this year, in February, he embarked on a whirlwind tour of the UK, performing in legendary clubs and venues like the Troubadour – which has hosted legendary names such as Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and more recently Adele – Moles, Bannerman's, and other top clubs across the United Kingdom.

In a recent interview with The Portugal News, Sean, who has a home in Estoril and says he draws inspiration from his mother's homeland, promised he would be performing in Portugal as soon as his hectic schedule allows.

Episode 6: The WOA TV Show - All Things Music (Season 2)



www.WOATV.tv

Episode 6 of the WOA TV Show (Season 2) is ROCKING for want of a better word :-)

Each and every video of this episode is competing against each other in terms of the thought and effort and ideas put into these videos and not to forget the fantastic songs - because lets face it if your song is crap no matter how good your video is it will still suck ;-)

Well lets get on to the show:
We kick off episode 6 with a great band from Denmark called The Glass Kites with their video for the song 'Speed bumps in the air'. Just a real feel good song and video. Denmark has produced some good artists in the recent past and the Glass Kites could very well be the next big export from Scandinavia.

And moving on from Denmark we proceed to Ireland where Nine Lies give us 'Tragedy'. This music video is more of a collage of true events at seas and the HEROES who risk their lives and lose their lives to save others. A video dedicated to Life Boat Crew Members. A very cool gesture from this band. We expect a lot of votes for Nine Lies this week on the artist poll at http://www.facebook.com/woatv - Be sure you vote for your favorite video from episode 6. It will help the artists get on the season finale WOA Chart Show which is sponsored by W.O.A Records and the W.O.A International Group who are directly sponsoring the season finale show. Visit WOA Records at www.woarecords.com and www.woainternational.co

The Second segment of the episode begins with D.U.N.E. These guys are English if we are not mistaken. They have put in quite a bit of effort on this video and this rock band uses CELLOS! We were trying to figure out if the beautiful model in this video is also the Cellist? :-)

Coming on the heels of the beautiful Cello player comes an artist with an unusual name 'Owers' and the song called 'Sleep'. Their animated video is a class act all the way. We loved it. A must watch.

The final segment of the show starts with a band called 'Quadrilles' and a song called....wait for it...."Gong Hey Fat Choi' - nope we didn't just make that up - 'GONG HEY FAT CHOI' really is the name of this song. Experimental is how we would like to describe the song style and the video too.

Ending the last segment of Episode 6 is Sammy Hakim from Canada and her song called 'Mark Me'. A straight on power pop song - inspired by fellow Canadian Avril Lavigne maybe?

We hope you enjoy episode 6 of the WOA TV Show - All Things Music (Season 2). We carefully select the indie artists we feature on the WOA TV Show and are totally into all these artists and their music videos - YOU really OUGHT TO KNOW these amazing artists - don't go through life listening only to MANUFACTURED COMMERCIAL music, day in and day out, yes we all enjoy the Beyonce's and the Biebers and the flavor of the month boy bands - but going through life only listening to THAT is like going through life only eating Mc Donald's Burgers and not knowing the joy of eating a home cooked meal..... Okay we are getting into food metaphors so we better end the show notes as its dinner time for us - and no we wont be eating Mc Donald's today :-)

MTV EMA Nominee to Launch New Single on American Television Talk Show Live from New York City.


MTV EMA Nominee to Launch New Single on American Television Talk Show Live from New York City.

"(Are We) Doing That" is what MTV Europe Music Awards Nominee Oliver Sean will be asking a worldwide audience via a live Television Broadcast from New York City this July as the International music star gets set to release his brand new single and music video and kick off his Television and Radio Promo Tour in New York.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Oliver_Sean_are_we_doing_that_Cover_smallsize
Oliver_Sean_are_we_doing_that_Cover_smallsize
W.O.A International (Press Release) - Jun. 25, 2013 - NEW YORK -- MTV Europe Music Awards 2012 Nominee Oliver Sean is getting set to officially release his highly anticipated new single '(are we) Doing That' as he kicks off his New York Television and Radio Promo Tour this July. The worldwide premiere will take place on 27th July as Oliver Sean performs the song on Evan Ginzburg's 'Legends TV' live from New York City. 

The new song, which hits radio stations worldwide today, features Oliver Sean's distinctive style of percussive rock placed on a bed of foot tapping Indian Tabla's, lending this main stream pop/rock song the inimitable Oliver Sean world beat sound. Coming on the heels of his  MTV Europe Music Awards Nominated Album and Music Video "So Good," and his Vh1 Hit single 'All I Remember', this latest song '(are we) Doing That' also sets the stage for Oliver Sean's New York Television and Radio promo tour from 27th July to 3rd August. 

The new single is now available for pre order on itunes where fans can pre order the new single and get the song on their ipods automatically on 11th August when the new song '(are we) Doing That' will hit stores worldwide, with a simultaneous launch of his music video for the same song on Vh1's International channel.

'(are we) Doing That' combines Oliver Sean's unique voice with a blended style of alt rock and world music elements driven by his rich heritage. "I attribute my style of music and its world beat elements to time I spent growing up in Goa, Dubai and London and my Mother's favorite Portuguese music and her impressive pop rock record collection that I grew up listening to" says Oliver Sean, "but I think my rock sensibilities are pure American". This worldwide influence constantly shows itself in Oliver Sean's superlative collection of tracks released through the years, which blend some of the best of good ol' fashioned rock-n-roll with subtle hints of world music elements to create an intoxicating new melange. The new single '(are we) Doing That' captures the essence of Oliver Sean's musical style. 

One thing that makes Oliver Sean special is the restraint with which he blends these elements together. As a music magazine in America says "Any rocker from the Beatles onwards can throw random sitars or Brazilian Drums (Indian Tablas) into a song for effect. In Sean's hands, they act as spice – punctuating moments, bringing them out, and then just as quickly segueing back to more traditional elements"  'Round Magazine, 2013, USA .

Fan's can expect a music video for the song '(are we) Doing That' to hit International channels on August 11th and a full length album worth of songs from Oliver Sean, which will be his fourth studio album in December 2013  "This plan of releasing a few singles and music videos followed by the full length album began in January 2013 when we released Oliver Sean's new music video for his single 'All I Remember' on Vh1 and the success of the single and the video" says Wanda Alvares, Marketing Head W.O.A International "this is now being followed up with his new single and music video '(are we) Doing That', which incidentally is also to be the title of the Oliver Sean album which we will be launching in December 2013"

Over the last ten years, Sean has ascended from local performer in Goa and Dubai to international rock phenom, playing tours across America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including stops in New York, LA, London, Dubai and other major cities. His debut album "I Like It" (2003) was nominated for AV Max International Album of the Year along with albums by John Mayer, Third Eye Blind, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams. Oliver Sean's hit album from 2011 "So Good" got the singer an MTV Europe Music Awards Nomination in 2012, and his single "Movies" from the same album reached the Top 10 charts of Vh1's International channel, placing Sean alongside artists such as Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Pitbull. Oliver Sean has also received his own feature spot on Vh1 Specials, a program that highlights prominent and upcoming International artists. His rise led Sun magazine to label Oliver Sean "The hottest international offering from the shores of Goa."

In addition to writing and composing all of his own music, Sean has produced and directed music videos for himself and other international artists. In 1998, at a young age the singer/songwriter and Business Graduate in Marketing and Finance created his own label, W.O.A. International, to promote fresh and established international musicians like himself. Today, W.O.A International is one of the largest Indie record labels in Asia and the Middle East that help promote independent talent. Sean's film endeavors include a soundtrack for a popular bollywood film, and he is currently working as the producer and director on a documentary about the importance of protecting endangered tigers, based on the book Once Upon a Time by Wanda Alvares.

"(are we) Doing That" can be heard starting today on radio stations and online around the world. It is also available for pre order on iTunes and will release worldwide on August 11th along with a music video on International TV channels including Vh1.
