INVOKING THE LEGENDS 'Animal Welfare' PROJECT Underway.
INVOKING THE LEGENDS PROJECT:
The Invoking the Legends project was started by me and my friends to help animals in distress in places like Goa and other regions where stray animals require as much assistance as possible. This project took off only because of the help of my friends and fans who donated towards this project. Initially we collected around 500 GBP and my team & I doubled that money to kickstart this project. Our first goal was to start some sort of late night emergency outlet for stray dogs and animals in Goa when there is no one around to help them. We have now started work towards this and hope it will make a small difference in the quality of life for these wonderful animals that only have love to give and nothing else.The Bootleg Recordings Vol.1 is the first CD/EP of the Invoking the Legends project with many more to come. All sales money of the CD/Download is utilised in FULL for Animal Welfare. The specially packaged and personally signed CDs are now on their way to all our pledgers/supporters who made this happen. The CDs will also be available for pre order shortly on www.oliversean.com. The Digital download of this EP is available NOW at www.cdbaby.com/cd/oliversean6 - please do buy this EP if you are an animal lover as all money we make from sales is going towards animal welfare - in full!
Much Love,
Oliver Sean

4th Edition of Global Compilation Released
4th Edition of Global Compilation Released
It is unprecedented for a compilation to feature so many different genres on one album together. While most labels stick to one particular genre, W.O.A Records broke this mould in 2009 with the launch of the very first Independent No.1's Vol.1, which led to the album receiving rave reviews from media and extended radio airplay on commercial radio that usualy cover only major label music.
"Today the Independent No.1's compilation is the most sought after compilation when it comes to Independent Artists and discovering real music by real musicians" says the founder of The W.O.A Entertainment Group and Artist/Producer Oliver Sean, "we keep the manufactured acts at bay and it really isn't about how many CDs we sell, its more about how many people become fans of these Indie Artists and once you become a fan of an Indie Artist you are a fan for Life - that in my opinion is priceless for a real artist"
The Independent No.1's Compilation is distributed to Radio, Press and Retail Chains including Live Music Venues for free, fans who go to record stores could also win free copies just by picking up a CD and taking it to the till. This is all being done to promote Independent Musicians and try to make a small change in the music industry and bring a change to how fans get in touch with new music and new artists that are not promoted like a product in a super market - but by discovering these real artists, who make real music, in the real world and are successful in the industry in their own right without having to let themselves or their creativity be controlled by record labels.
The Artists and their songs on this album are listed below for fans and media to discover them and get to know who they are:
* Featured Artist: Louis Colaiannia - Winters Fire, Louis Colaiannia has been on the Top 40 New Age Music Charts with his album and has performed and collaborated with some of the industry's biggest names.

* Featured Artist: Oliver Sean - All I Remember. Oliver Sean is an MTV Europe Music Awards Nominee and a Vh1 Top 10 Artist. Even though Oliver Sean has major label distribution and licensing deals, he has always maintained his Indie Artist status by never signing to a full record deal with any label and has an enviable position of being an Indie Artist with Major Label support and a fanbase that any artist, Indie or Major, would kill for http://www.oliversean.com
* Featured Artist: Victoria Celestine - Good Heart to Hide. 18 years old and already a star in Texas and now taking over the US. She has the looks, the voice and the X factor,a true blue Indie artist who writes her own stuff and has producers across the country wanting to work with her http://victoriacelestine.com
