W.O.A International signs on first multi genre DJ/Rapper/Dancer – Demetrius

US Performer par excellence 'Demetrius' signs exclusive recording
contract with India's largest International Independent Record Label
& Global Entertainment Co. W.O.A Records.

Goa, India – Jul 02, 2009 – The W.O.A Artiste and Repertoire team has
always discovered musicians & performers who are different in their
musical styles especially when signing them to the exclusive and
highly sought after roster of the W.O.A International label - W.O.A
Records, This time the W.O.A A&R team has done it again with the
signing of an artist who just cannot be defined by one genre. Record
labels around the world usually frown upon non-Definition of a genre
for an artist's music, however with an artist as versatile as
Demetrius all rules have changed.

"As a performer this artist can hold on to an audience of any size and
this is what the music industry is now grabbing on to – Artists who
can perform and hold on to an audience not just for the duration of a
2 hour performance but hold on to them as fans for years to come" says
Oliver Sean, Founder, W.O.A Records, "with the signing of Demetrius it
is an unprecedented move as he doesn't fit into one specific genre
which is a blessing for venues and event organisers who can use an
artist like Demetrius at various shows and events".

A born entertainer, Demetrius started out at an early age. Even with
various pitfalls early on in life this artist has now emerged as a
fully rounded performer and artist. "I don't want to cater to just one
specific type of fan base" says the entertainer, "I think an album
should be able to carry its worth for all 10 to 15 songs and it
shouldn't be just about singles"

With the International infrastructure that Global Entertainment
Company W.O.A International offers its artists through W.O.A Records,
W.O.A Management, W.O.A Events and W.O.A Media Studios; Demetrius has
all the support he needs now to break into the International music
scene and prove that he truly is an International star that he dreams
of being.

W.O.A Records is all set to do a worldwide release of Demetrius'
latest album titled 'Sumtindifrent'. The artist is also scheduled to
tour India on a promo tour during his music video shoot, which will be
shot in India later this year. Stay tuned to W.O.A Internationals

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".

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.

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.

Record and went on to produce hits like 'Last Dance' and 'Blow Away',

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".

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.
