Country star from Canada signs on to W.O.A International

W.O.A International signs Kate Ashby-Craft to its artist management
division in India.

Goa, India – June 1, 2009 – With the list of Independent stars growing
on the W.O.A Records roster the company's star list now grows even
larger with the signing of Canada's upcoming country star Kate
Ashby-Craft, Canada's hottest country offering.

"Country music is my favourite genre of music that I love listening to
and when I heard Kate's music I was hooked from the first song
onwards" says Oliver Sean, President/ Founder, W.O.A International,
"she has already been nominated for the 'Best Microphone Award' (Best
Singer) at the King Eagle Music Awards held in Nashville (home of
country music) and we think her music will be well received by the
surprising number of country fans growing Internationally and W.O.A
International is fully geared to take her music to the masses".

Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Kate Ashby-Craft started off as
a classical voice and theatre major in University but wanting to
experience other kinds of music Kate went on the road performing
everything from country and rock to jazz and blues touring Canada and
the U.S.A. Her albums have been well received on various commercial
radio stations in the US and Canada and her vast experience in the
field of music have always brought recognition and accolade to her
compositions and songs.

"My latest CD 'Love Is All There Is' was a concept album and
lyrically all twelve songs explored a different dimension of love.
Musically this album ventured into Jazz/Pop with a Latin/AC/Folk
flavour" says Kate, "This album received rave reviews and has charted
on several college radio charts. In October 2007 this CD was nominated
for 4 Music Awards in the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards."

Kate's music is now receiving Commercial radio airplay around the
world and in September 2008 Kate accepted the role of June Carter Cash
in the touring show 'The Legend in Black', a tribute show to the music
of the late Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. Kate Ashby-Craft has
been seen and heard on various TV and radio shows such as City TV's
"Breakfast Television" and CBC's Ontario Morning and has performed at
such notable venues as the Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto,
Waterloo's Festival Of Lights, Canada Day celebrations in London as
well as the Songwriter's Association Canada's Bluebird North in
Toronto, The Canterbury Folk Festival in Ingersoll and The Stratford
Festival of Canada.

W.O.A International Signs Canadian Rock and Roll Family

W.O.A International's artist management division signs on Canadian
based band The Wilkins

Goa, India –May 29, 2009 –The W.O.A Artiste and Repertoire team has
prided itself with the long list of amazing artists it has signed on.
Artists and Bands who strive to reach the top and believe in
themselves enough to go it alone. The W.O.A A&R team has done it again
with the signing of a band that rocks and rolls and keeps it all in
the family – now signed to W.O.A International are the Canadian based
family folk rockers - The Wilkins.

"Bands who have kept it all in the family include bands like the
Coors, The Allman Brothers and a few others and The Wilkins are one
such band that we think are destined to reach great heights" says
Wanda Alvares, Executive Vice President and Marketing Director W.O.A
International, "they have already won the coveted 'Best Folk Artist in
2008 and now are set to break into the International music scene with
W.O.A International's support system backing them in this endeavor".

Blending timeless elements of acoustic folk, pop, rock and a touch of
Celtic music with their magical three part harmonies, veteran rocker
Mark Wilkins (of Photograph fame), folk musician Jan Wilkins, and
their son Julian Wilkins continue this "all in the family tradition"
with their debut album, No Expiry Date.

Their debut album showcases their award winning variety of musical
styles. The high spirited, lyrically clever "Love is Gone," which
began life some years ago as a country song Mark wrote, transforms
easily to a beautifully harmonic acoustic stomp with a Celtic tinge.
"Love is Gone" is featured on the Busta Compilation CD released in
Italy by Midfinger Records and is also to be featured on the world
famous Goa Chillout Zone Volume 2 Compilation CD which is a W.O.A
Records property and release.

Mark Wilkins, is known among the rock and roll scene for his past
involvement in the Ontario based band, Photograph. " After being
discovered by Tom Cochran of Red Rider, Photograph signed to Capitol
Record and went on to produce hits like 'Last Dance' and 'Blow Away',
we toured with numerous national acts including April Wine and Blue
Rodeo in addition to working with future legendary U2 producer Daniel
Lanois" says Mark Wilkins, Leader of The Wilkins, "This experience
with photgraph and the years I have spent in the music business has
helped 'The Wilkins' reach where we are today".

W.O.A Records is all set to feature The Wilkins in their upcoming
releases and International tours. Stay tuned to the WOA Records
website for more information on this band that is set to rock India.

Master of melody - ExpressIndia

Master of Melody
Roshan Kumar Mogali
The Indian Express

If there ever were a musical sorcerer, then his shoes would fit Oliver
Sean to a tee. A rhythmic illusionist and conjurer of rhyme and
substance, Sean is simply sensational. At the trivial age of four,
Sean assumed the role of a singer. At eight, he was strumming away on
his guitar and when eleven, Sean waxed into quasi-lyricist. He is the
real deal, the whole shebang when one adverts music.

Sean doesn't conform to fads and vogues of the times. Contrary to the
remarkably sweeping trend of collaboration observed in the music
industry at present, Sean isn't too big on collaboration. "Though I
wouldn't mind collaborating with established producers, I am chary of
the messages in my songs transposing due to many cooks spoiling the
broth," he says.

His upcoming English album Getting Around, is also set to release this
year. The lyrics, being deep and soft, are intrinsically about peace
and love. Anent the title of the album, he says, "A single child, I
lived a protected childhood assuming the world to be all hunky-dory
until I encountered deceptive, two-faced people along my way. Having
grown-up and learnt it the hard way, now I have gotten around to know
life's ugly secrets."

Though he is mixed up with his lineage, belonging to multiple
ethnicity-Italian, Portuguese and Indian heritage-, having grown up in
Goa, he considers Goa as his hometown and his perennial destination
for peaceful contemplation. He also has a penchant for animals and
looks to it that ten per cent of his albums' sales revenue goes
towards animal welfare and to stop fur trade.

Having studied to be a sound recording engineer in the US, he is an
industry in himself, writing, arranging and composing all the tracks
in his albums by himself. Categorising his music as acoustic rock,
basically world music, he sometimes commixes it with music from ethnic
instruments. But then again, this isn't his conscious decision. "My
music attempts to blend genres. It blends rock-and-roll with rock
music, blends the music of 60s with that of the 90s. While arranging
music, more and more instruments keep coming into the picture and it's
always an artistic choice to accommodate these instruments," Sean
explicates.

This being his first time playing in Pune, he is assured of a large
audience due to the large number of colleges in the city. At the
concert here on Saturday, his fans could look forward to some music
from his new album Getting Around, a few chosen previous hits and some
classic songs like Knocking on Heaven's Door à la mode de Dylan.

His fabulous feats have included the French government including his
composition The Libran Mind as the theme song for its tourism campaign
of the Massif region. Entirely instrumental, this was uncharted
territory for the singer-songwriter. Sean is also the owner of two
recording companies – W.O.A Records and Sevenz Records. He figures in
a band called the Oliver Sean Band. Though for gag's sake, it is also
sometimes called Oliver Sean and the Longhaired band.

His multilingual world rock album Darna Chod Do, a commingling of
world music and mainstream rock, saw him delving into Hindi songs. The
ideas and compositions, being his own, he collaborated with several
lyricists on the album.

W.O.A International signs on Reggae-Rock Singer/Songwriter Lenny Deneb

W.O.A management, a part of the W.O.A International group, signs on
Lenny Deneb, to a three-year management and marketing deal.

Goa, India - January 25, 2009 – W.O.A International, through its
management division W.O.A Management, signs on Lenny Deneb, a St.
Lucian born singer/songwriter, a to a three-year management and
marketing deal. . This partnership will see W.O.A Management represent
Lenny Deneb and his band across India and the Middle East.

"Signing on this artist was a very easy decision for the A&R division
due to the high energy and infectious music they make", says W.O.A
International Marketing director Wanda Alvares. "Lenny joins ranks
with the select few top notch reggae rock acts that are now with W.O.A
Records".

At the age of 10 Lenny migrated to England from St. Lucia. In order
to cope with life's changes and the new environment, he would frequent
the local youth and community center, affectionately known as 'Saxon'.
"This is where my love for music was first aroused and my first music
outfit 'Cygnus' was formed", says the singer.

As a solo artist now, Lenny's success knows no bounds. In 1987 Lenny
released three songs for his own LED Records, the third single 'Who or
what turns you on' made record of the week in the Echoes music paper
and recently turned up on the Discog website as a collector's record.
Following this Lenny recorded a Zouk - Soca song for another London
based Jamaican producer named Bill Campbell titled 'Shakedown
Suzanne'. Some of the other eminent people in the music industry who
he has worked closely with include Judy Boucher, Lindel Lewis and
guitarist JJ Belle of Tina Turner, Lionel Richie, Arrow, Judie Tzuke,
Bob Marley fame.

"My current brand of reggae music has been described as reggae-rock,
bringing together the styles of Bob Marley, Steel Pulse, Peter Tosh
and the rock influences of U2, Bruce Springsteen, the Police,
Radiohead, Ocean Colour Scene, Maroon 5 and R.E.M", says Lenny, who is
slated to tour India very soon.

The W.O.A Records India tour 2009 which is an annual production of the
W.O.A International group and India's only Independent artist tour of
such a grand scale to be organized is slated to be bigger and better
than the W.O.A 2008 tour, which saw history being created by W.O.A
International and some of the World's best Independent artists. Lenny
Deneb is now slated to join ranks with these select artists.

W-O-A-H!!!

Event Faqs Magazine, December '08 -Redefining the words 'chilled out', Oliver Sean, at his simplest, is a man with a dream. Ten years ago, Sean began to make this dream a reality with a small studio in Dubai. Today, he is the president and founder of W.O.A International Рa global entertainment company that houses W.O.A Records, W.O.A Studios, W.O.A Management, W.O.A Events and very soon 'The Independent Musician - Magazine' (W.O.A Publications). The W.OA Records India Tour 2008 saw nine international independent artists and an audience of 3,000 people at their show in Goa on June 29, 2008. They also performed in Pune and at Hard Rock Caf̩ and nightclub Privee in Mumbai. Sean spoke with EVENTFAQS' Vanessa Rebello, about the W.O.A Records India tour 2008, the music scene in India and how it compares with the rest of the world.


Excerpts from Interview:

 

This is the first W.O.A Tour in India. What has the response been like?

 Since the scene for independent artists has not yet reached India, people are not too sure about what to expect. We saw a large crowd in Goa, and even Mumbai seems to be treating us well. Sponsors are skeptical, but the media has been omnipresent and encouraging.

 

How big a component are live events for record labels such as W.O.A?

India has no concept of tours and live events when it comes to the music industry. Here, before an album is launched, there is a flashy music video released and that's about it. But abroad, touring is a very important element of music. It's essential for a band or an artist to get around and be known among the people. And the best way to do this is through live events. Videos are secondary.

 

How big are the divisions of WO.A International?

I have a few main people who take charge of important things, and they have people under them who help them out. Right now, there are about 10 to 15 people in each section of W.O.A International. We are looking to expand sometimes soon.

 

Do all the divisions of W.O.A International cater solely to W.O.A artists?

As of now, that is the case. W.O.A International functions in a circular manner. The artists are managed by W.O.A Management, they record at W.O.A Studios, their music is on W.O.A Records and their events are handled by W.O.A Events.

 

How many events have you done in India?

We've done a few events in India before – mostly in Goa. But we've never had anything on such a large scale. This is the first time we have taken so many independent artists to tour India.

 

In your opinion, how is the music scene changing?

It hasn't changed too much when it comes to independent artists. It is still very hard for them to find a place in the music industry. Today, people will listen to a Beyonce, only if a major music label like Sony tells them to listen to it. With this tour in India, we aim to change that. We want people to know that there is a lot of good music out there, and just because it is not backed by a major music label, doesn't make it any less than any other kind of music.

 

How different is the Indian market from other markets?

Even English music hasn't set in as much as it should have in India, leave alone Independent artists. Abroad, people like to explore new kinds of music. They enjoy going for live events and they love being the first people to know about a good band. The culture of independent artists has set in there. Also, getting sponsors is a huge problem here in India. Abroad, there are a lot of people with money who are simply looking for new talent to support. But in India, unless you are big, getting sponsors is next to impossible.

 

Is there such a thing as maturity of a market when it comes to music consumption and live events?

Definitely. But maturity only comes into play once there is exposure. And as of now the key focus is on exposure, so that people are aware of independent artists and live music events. Once people are exposed to these forms of music consumption, maturity can be easily reached.

 

With the online space offering popular forums for music, has the value of live events gone down?

Online space usually affects live events positively. If you're being heard and downloaded online, chances are that people are going to want to watch you live. However, from a producer's point of view, I obviously want my artists' music video to be sold and not downloaded.

 

What can people expect to see from W.O.A soon?

Most importantly, our artists' albums will be locally available in Mumbai by May 10, 2008. They will now also hear from other independent artists like Fumble from Finland, Daze of Dawn from Sweden and Jack Dalton from Australia, who plays with AC/DC's' guitarist. I'm working on a song in a movie called 'Cutting Chai Dreams High'.

Oliver’s Musical Twist

One of India's biggest Rockstars Goan local lad Oliver Sean is getting ready to be the pin-up boy of music with the release of his new album Getting Around. He also runs his own recording label company that handles musicians worldwide. He strums a guitar for Hi!

 

Hi! Blitz Magazine, 18 December 2008 - He's got the gall, the gumption and he has a combination of Italian and Goan Portuguese looks. Add that to his music and here's a charmer from the land of the sea and the sun.


Of Goan Portuguese (mother) Italian (father Sicilian) lineage, Oliver Sean singer/songwriter/producer began his musical career in 2003 with his self-produced debut English album I Like It (W.O.A Records/Times Music) that speaks about love and happiness. Apart from singing, Oliver also plays the keyboard and guitar. His eclectic music with a Latin influence is referred to as an alternative acoustic rock and world rock in the international music scene. His first album fuses mainstream rock with classical Indian instruments and Latin rhythms. Talking about his musical leanings, Oliver gives credit to his late uncle Victor Alvares, the acclaimed Goan bass guitarist who introduced him to various facets of music.

 

Two ventures coming up for the enterprising entrepreneur: music launch for the crossover film Cutting Chai being directed by Flavin Lucien, an Anglo Indian, and his own album Getting Around, which should be released by early February 2009. "My English albums are not written commercially. I put in songs written over months and years because it is almost like a book of experiences," he reiterates. He lists some of his favorite tracks from the CD: I've Been Waiting, Movies, Come On Move On and the title track Getting Around, Somebody, Alone, which is dedicated to his mom and all the single mothers. Oliver's repertoire between his English albums boasts of commercial releases – a Hindi album, Christmas singles, background scores and more.

 

Oliver Sean dreams big and works harder. When his first album I Like It was released, he found little help coming forth from recording companies. It was his gumption to take on the task of releasing his album himself, which led to the creation of W.O.A International in Goa. "It's to help the many talented musicians around the world who have no avenue or clue of how to go about releasing their music," says Oliver.

 

W.O.A International is a global entertainment company that houses W.O.A Records, W.O.A Studios and W.O.A Management, which has a background in conceptualizing and organizing world-class live concerts and festivals. A marketing division has now been incorporated as a separate entity, and the W.O.A Music marketing service has been made available to all independent musicians, labels and management companies across the world. Those who want to avail of these services to promote their music and artistes in these regions, without having to tie up with a management company or record label from this region now can do so, thus retaining complete control of their music, live performances, entertainment, revenues, etc.

 

With over a hundred artists already signed by W.O.A, it has some of the world's biggest international acts as a part of their roster, including Oliver Sean, the founder of W.O.A , Grammy-nominated rockers Tiger Tiger, Russia's biggest metal band ANJ, Finland's Rockstars Fumble, Ireland's no 1 Gypsy Jazz Band Blue Jar and various other independent and major label artistes.

 

Growing up in the land of the sea and sand, Oliver talks fondly of Loutolim, the place where he grew up. This breathtakingly beautiful and landscaped land is his inspiration; also a search for true love and gratitude for his family. Lost in his dream world he notes, "I spend a lot of time alone, watching a sunset on the beach or driving on an open highway in Goa, because I can be in my own world and this is what brings my music to life. I get most inspired when I'm with my dogs Buddy and Sam, a Labrador and a German Shepherd." Most of all he finds comfort in his single mother Wanda Alvares' love.

 

Handsome, young and eligible, Oliver's search for his lady love is going on. "I love beautiful women and this makes it hard to decide. Seriously though, I think when the right person comes along I'll know."

W.O.A International to take India on a journey through a new musical landscape with Australia’s Osh10

The W.O.A Management Division signs on Australian Electronic Wizards Osh10.


Goa, India – September 25, 2008 – W.O.A International's management team has been creating waves in this part of the world with the signing of Independent musicians on the brink of stardom and after introducing Alternative rockers from the US and Jazz singers from South America to the Indian market its time for the electronic wizardry of Osh10 to take the electronic music fans of India on an unforgettably journey.     

           

"Electronic music mixed with adventurous song writing is something that Osh10 does seamlessly and their blend of music is a sound that can work wonders in the dance and electronic scene in India" says Pete Saunders, V.P. W.O.A Management, "this duo that forms Osh10 is destined for great success and W.O.A is here to make this a reality sooner rather than later".

 

Osh10 was born out of the adventurous song writing partnership of Mike Macgregor and Aimee Chapman. They have been described as "a supernova burning brightest before the star burns out" by industry insiders.

 

"Armed with a Big Voice and Styling Bass Guitar we challenged ourselves to create layered, eclectic, satisfying music using only this basic line up" says Aimee Chapman of Osh10; "through a period of incubation and exploration the music has taken on a life of its own and we still only use bass and voice and add loops and effects to create a whole universe of sound" chips in Mike Macgregor.

 

Osh10 is set to take on the world with their unique blend of music that's simple and complex at the same time. Having now signed on with the W.O.A International Group they are well on their way to take on the world. With the network of the W.O.A international Group that includes the major distribution networks of W.O.A Records and the marketing prowess of the W.O.A Marketing division – Osh10 are now armed with the backing their music needs to become a worldwide phenomenon.

 

W.O.A Events, a part of the W.O.A International Group is also planning on having Osh10 tour India in 2009 during the annual India Tour 2009. Stay tuned to the WOA Records website for more information on Osh10.

music I'm listening to inspirational artists or enjoying playing some
classics on the piano. I go into another world and can write/sing/play for
hours and hours and never am tired of it. When I am performing to an
audience I am exactly where I want to be² says an excited Kallii who is set
to release her single worldwide on October 4th

Having signed with W.O.A Management the beautiful singer will be scheduled
to tour India and the Middle East. All divisions of W.O.A International will
be supporting Kallii on this road to success as is common with W.O.A and its
roster of artists. W.O.A Events, W.O.A Management, W.O.A Records, W.O.A
Radio and W.O.A Music marketing will be lending their assistance to the
singer for the release of her new album which is expected to create quite a
stir.

Indie fans in India are keenly following the artists signed to W.O.A
International and with the signing of Kallii we expect a great response and
a larger fan base being created for the singing sensation.
