Artist Music Guild's Best Female Artist Nominee signs with W.O.A International

Artist Music Guild's Best Female Artist Nominee signs with W.O.A International - The Music Company

Jazz star Laura Ainsworth, daughter of legendary big band musician Bill Ainsworth, signs on to the elite W.O.A International Artist Roster for exclusive management across India and Dubai

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

W.O.A International - Apr. 9, 2014 - PANAJI, India -- Breakthrough Independent Artists, Bands that can stand their own on any major stage alongside major label acts and exceptionally talented musicians, these are the real music stars who W.O.A International - The Music Company has supported since it was founded in 1998. Sixteen years later W.O.A International now boasts of having the best International Independent music stars signed to their artist roster. Joining this star studded artist list today is American Alternative Jazz's rising star Laura Ainsworth.

Breaking out of the traditional Jazz mould, Laura Ainsworth is in a class of her own and championing a genre that mainstream radio has struggled to come to terms with. Not only did Laura Ainsworth manage to get her music accepted by mainstream radio, she went on to be one of Indie music's most played jazz artist on International Radio.

Her late father, Bill Ainsworth, was a renowned big band musician and arranger and possibly the youngest member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, backing Frank Sinatra at just 17. As a young girl, Laura was inspired watching her dad accompany legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme and Marilyn McCoo. She attributes both music and humor becoming a big part of her life because of her Dad.

"You can keep those pop divas, the only one for me is Laura Ainsworth...a wonderful modern interpreter of the Great American Songbook, as well as thoroughly modern styles." said INSIDE Magazine of Laura's debut album 'Keep it to yourself''. Another publication, Jazz Corner, says that Laura Ainsworth's debut album "weaves past and present with stunning power."

Laura creates, produces and performs her own fully-realized, live musical shows that have become known for her gorgeous voice, her unique sense of humor and her trademark elbow-length satin gloves and beaded gowns. Her music is an enchanting cocktail mix that recreates the elegant retro style of nightclub shows of the ‘40s and '50s, but with a sophisticated modern musical sheen and just a twist of flirtatiously naughty humor. It’s an intoxicating blend that has attracted some of the top jazz players in Texas to her side, including longtime partner Brian Piper, one of the most sought-after pianists/producers in the Southwest.

Laura's second album 'Necessary Evil' features classics from the 1920's to modern day hits with the album receiving rave reviews in the US. The single 'Out of the World' from the album was selected by the global compilation Goa Chillout Zone Volume 5 (WOA Records) in 2011.

"I had the pleasure of speaking with Laura on my radio show (WOAFM99) a few weeks ago after I fell in love with her rendition of Out of this World" says Oliver Sean, MTV Europe Music Awards Nominee and Founder of the W.O.A Entertainment Group, "not only is she a fantastic musician, but I also learned that she is a big supporter of animal rights and birds welfare, which in my eyes makes her not just a great musician but a top class human being"

W.O.A Records is all set to launch Laura Ainsworth's second album 'Necessary Evil' across India and the Middle East as a preview to the upcoming Laura Ainsworth performance on the Annual WOA Records India and Dubai Tour in 2015. Laura's music will also be heard on the upcoming W.O.A Records global compilations Independent No.1's Vol.3 and the Goa Chillout Zone Vol.6

"I seem to have fans, both older people and younger ones, in the rising vintage music/burlesque movement, who love what I do" says the Singer who was Artist Music Guild's Best Female Artist 2013 Nominee, "having W.O.A International championing my music and backing me with its major media network partners across India and Dubai is going to open up new possibilities for me across these major emerging markets"

With WOA Films and their network partners announcing a high end music video of Laura Ainsworth to be filmed during her WOA India Tour and the W.O.A Entertainmemnt Group pulling all stops to bring Laura Ainsworth and her special blend of Jazz to fans across India and the Middle East, the coming months are going to see Laura Ainsworth really making a mark in the International music scene.

While much of what Dr. Colaiannia has produced could very well be considered great, those who know him and have heard him play know that the best is yet to come!

International Indie Label WOA Records signs its first ever Tamil artist

WOA Records to introduce Malaysian based Tamil composer Dr Pasupathi to fans worldwide with new world beat album

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

W.O.A International - Mar. 15, 2014 - PANAJI, India - W.O.A Records, part of the W.O.A Entertainment Group, has announced the signing of Malaysian based artist Dr. Pasupathi, the first ever Tamil Composer/Musician to be signed to the elite WOA Records International Artist Roster.

W.O.A International - The Music Company started out its label division WOA Records primarliy as a World Music label with several of the label's releases hitting the charts and receiving several worldwide nominations. The label then went on to expand into mainstream genres like Rock and Pop. The signing of Dr. Pasupathi and the upcoming release of the artists full length Tamil album as a world music album globally brings WOA Records' fundamental strength as a world music label back in the forefront.

Tamil is the language that comes from the southern most part of India, mainly Chennai formerly also known as Madras. One of the world's biggest original Tamil musicians is the world famous A.R Rahman (Slumdog Millionaire), which led to a lot of interest in the region and the discovery of fantastic composers and singers who originally write in Tamil. Dr. Pasupathi's new album confirms that the region continues to produce amazing music and language is indeed no barrier at all.

"Signing a Tamil based artist to the WOA Artist Roster is a step in the right direction for W.O.A Records especially the world music division of the label" says Oliver Sean, Founder, W.O.A Entertainment Group, "our company has always put music first, no matter which part of the world and what language the music and songs are recorded in. Dr. Pasupathi's music on this new album and the top class production and musicians who have come together on this album promises to break all barriers internationally for this artist"

Dr Pasupathi's musical ventures started off in his teens when he was involved as a DJ in various clubs in Kuala Lumpur. While studying to be a Doctor, he managed to juggle between weekly gigs and studies. Inspired by Michael Jackson, AR Rahman, Ilayaraja and Harris Jayaraj, the diversity of Indian cinema music and the increasing fusion of Western musical elements, his compositions eventually started having a unique sound his very own that combimned his love of Tamil music and his Malaysian roots, this very unique sound can be heard on his brand new album 'Reenggaram'.

Reenggaram literally means 'tune that keeps repeating in ears'. The album features 10 songs composed by Dr. Pasupathi collaborating with world famous singers from South India who are renowned film playback singers for Bollywood and Tollywood (the Tamil Film Industry).

“I Enjoyed working together with the accomplished singers to bring out the best in this album" says Dr. Pasupathi, Composer & Musician, “I did not want to follow the typical cinema music styles entirely, instead, Indian and Malaysian musical elements were fused to come up with some unique sounds

The first single from the album titled 'Kannil Thondrum' was recently premiered on the WOAFM99 Radio Show and received rave reviews, fans of the show from the US and the UK were intrigued by the song and the station received several requests for the track to be played again, a confirmation that language is no barrier when it comes to good music in any part of the world.

Dr. Pasupathi's album will be available in India and worldwide on WOA Records and also across major mobile networks in the Middle East and North Africa. The artist will also be featured on the WOA TV Show - All Things Music..

Stay tuned to the Official WOA Records website to know more about Dr. Pasupathi's new album, tour schedules and more.
