Industry praise for Oliver Sean's International Hit - So Good - W.O.A News Desk

Oliver Sean's latest single is "So Good" and is a spirited, yet
quasi-reflective, Pop/Rock song. One can really hear Sean's talents as
he moves from catchy verses to upbeat choruses with straight from the
heart tonality.

Sean has a strong and solid vocal range that brings this song to life
with his relaxed, easy flowing style. The energy the instruments
display complements the vocals with a grooving beat that makes this
song fun while capturing the listener's attention right from the
start.

Take a listen to, "So Good," as it is a good ole' fashioned rock song
that will make you want to hear more well crafted songs from this
talented artist.

Master Of Melody - Indian Express

An article on The Indian Express a few months ago - fantastic piece on Oliver Sean. The album titled 'Getting Around' written about in the article below is now called 'So Good' by Oliver Sean to be released end of April 2010 and the single of the same name has now gone platinum. The album also features the song 'Getting Around' included in the album as a featured single. The single 'So Good is now available as a free download on www.oliversean.com, itunes etc and has currently recorded over 3 million downloads.

- W.O.A News Desk.

MASTER OF MELODY - Indian Express - India  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.

Attn: The Editor - Victor (Pequeno) Alvares Tribute Concert to be held in Goa on the 27th of December 2009...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The tribute concert for Bass Legend Victor Alvares, conceptualized by W.O.A International - The Music Company, to attract some of the country's top stars, musicians and bands.

Goa, India – 26^th Dec '09 - Victor, lovingly known to his family & friends as Pequeno, was a world renowned Bassist and Musician who has played with George Harrison, Remo, Oliver Sean, Ossibissa and many other International and Indian artists, producers, composers from around the world. And he has played across various countries jamming with some of the biggest names in music.

He started out in music at a very early age and picked up the violin and other instruments when just a child. He later got into Bass guitar, which was his true calling, and through the years he played with various bands in Delhi, Goa and other places. During this time his unique percussive, slap funk bass playing style caught the attention of various high profile celebrity artists who made offers to Victor to join them - which led to Victor becoming the hottest bass player & most in demand in India. Today you can hear Victor's bass playing on various Indian albums including Remo and Oliver Sean's music albums and on the countries leading television Advertisements of the 90's.

"Victor was probably the most loving and helpful human being and someone who encouraged young talent to the maximum" says Victor's nephew & God Son, Internationally renowned Rocker Oliver Sean "His style of playing was unique and only played by a handful of bass players in the world due to the level of difficulty - the other being Mark King of Level 42"

Victor (Pequeno) Alvares has appeared on various high profile music videos and on live concerts telecast on Channel V, MTV etc in India and abroad. His down to earth demeanor and humbleness was uncharacteristic of a man this talented and famous in his own right.

This Bass Legend died on the 18th of September 2000 when he was on tour with the Indian artist Remo - the band consisting of Victor, Selwyn, Dharma and others were traveling in a car that was hit by a bus on the highway of Kanpur on their way to the airport while driving back from a concert at the IIT in Kanpur - Victor, Selwyn and Dharma - the cream & ultimate of Goa's musicians died in this car crash. One of the biggest & most tragic losses to the music industry.

Victor's nephew, the Internationally acclaimed Rocker Oliver Sean, lists Victor as his biggest influence musically and has pulled out all stops to organize this tribute concert through his music company W.O.A International and is joined by the entire (very musically inclined) Alvares Family who have traveled from across the world to join in on this concert and they will be joined by musicians, artists, celebrities, bands from around the world on this very special day that has been kept aside to remember the most loved and hugely influential musician Victor (Pequeno) Alvares.

The Tribute concert has been in the making for the past two years and has been the brain child of Victor's sister, Marketing Director W.O.A International & Author, Wanda Alvares. The show is to bring together top stars, musicians and artists from across Goa, India and the World, who knew Victor, to perform at this one of kind concert that recognises the greatness of Victor Pequeno Alvares as a musician who left more than his vast musical works, but also left an impression on every person he met as being the most loving, caring & humble celebrity musician.

Goan Music Company Creating History In The International Music Scene

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

The Annual W.O.A Records India Tour Creating Waves Worldwide 

Goa, India - 5th Nov, 2009 - After the successful W.O.A Records India Tour shows at Ravindhra Bhavan Goa on the 31st of October, Bangalore on the 1st and 2nd of November and Bogmallo Beach on the 4th of November the artists of the W.O.A Records India Tour 2009 are now all set to perform and enthrall music lovers in Pune and Mumbai on the 6th and 7th of November.

The unprecedented success of the W.O.A Records Annual International music tour is creating waves across the world where the story has hit the music industry of how a record label from Goa is changing the face of International music in India by bringing some of the worlds finest International breaking bands to India every year. W.O.A International started off a decade ago and is now India's largest International Independent music label which was founded by the music world's hot rocker and International musician Oliver Sean who hails from Goa and who has single handedly managed to conceptualize and fund the entire W.O.A Records India Tour for the past two years with the belief that Goa is the capital of International music in India and the strong belief that Independent artists can reach dizzying heights with the right support. This belief has now led to every top International Indie band wanting to sign on to the Goan Company W.O.A International.

"When I formed W.O.A International it was for the sole purpose of supporting great musicians who believe in themselves and who don't change their style for anyone and the idea of the W.O.A Records India Tour has been with me for years and started becoming a reality when I saw that we were leading up to becoming the largest International Independent Music label due to the number of fantastic artists that we were signing" says W.O.A International Founder and Rocker Oliver Sean, "due to the artists not being major stars we didn't really get any support from sponsors monetarily however we decided to throw caution to the wind last year and bring a number of artists down together who play different styles of music and promote them with a proper international tour setting because I have always believed that an artist has to tour and thats the only way to grow and at the same time I wanted music lovers in India to experience good International music the way it should be heard and thats hearing and watching it Live on stage".

Independent Music as a concept was brought about and promoted in India in a major way by W.O.A International. It was due to W.O.A's  strong network in the music industry in India that led the Independent artists signed to W.O.A Records to be promoted alongside major acts thus blurring lines between the majors and the indies. This in turn has brought about a change in the International music scene in India where music lovers in India are being introduced to fantastic artists from all over the world who are brought down here to India by W.O.A International and who are being promoted with full backing in form of record releases, video airplay on major channels, radio promotions which would otherwise be unreachable for an Independent artist to come about on his or her own. 

The W.O.A Records India Tour 2009 is the second tour of a series of annual India tours being organized by W.O.A International and with the quality of artists that are being brought down by W.O.A the tours have started attracting a lot of music lovers to these shows across the country and interest from around to the world is growing in a Goan Company that has made history in music armed only with their belief in supporting good music and investing all their time, effort and money into artists and musicians they believe in. The scale and size of the W.O.A Records India Tour is growing every year, with this year's tour being bigger than last year it has led to the Government of Goa coming in to back W.O.A International in their work towards supporting and promoting International music and making Goa the International Music capital of India. With the scheduled 2010 tour the true Independent music revolution in India has begun and history in music is being made in this part of the world.
