Bangalore Mirror article on MTV EMA Nominee Oliver Sean

Oliver Sean Grammy Nomination List Inclusion Article by Prashanth Vidyasagar on Bangalore Mirror (Times of India) today. Read the full article online here http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.asp?From=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=MIRRORNEW&BaseHref=BGMIR%2F2012%2F10%2F22&PageLabel=20&EntityId=Ar02001&ViewMode=HTML

His singleAll I Remember was launched in the US during his tour last month and has been selected by the Recording Academy for the 55th Grammy Awards Nomination List along  with two of his other videos. A Grammy-voting member himself, Oliver tells us about the criteria, the process and more. 

What is the criterion for the selection process? 
The nomination list is decided by the Recording Academy directly. This is why this means so much to me. Labels around the world send in their best releases to the academy and a panel of the recording academy chooses the 'Exceptional Recordings of the Year' in various categories and they decide which categories the recordings best fit in. So if you send a song as world music and if the academy likes it but thinks that it fits better in pop then you would be placed there or in whatever categories they think the song fits in. 

Could you explain what exactly this process means and could lead to? 
The recordings that the academy thinks are the best of the year will now be sent to the 11,000 Grammy award voting members from around the world. Voting members are experts in various fields like 'vocals, instrumental, composition, production etc'. The voting members now listen to the recordings based purely on quality of the various parts of the song/ works and they vote on their favourites from the lists of the various categories. This then gives us the final top five nominees every December that you get to see on TV before the main award ceremony. 

This is not the first time you are getting selected, right? 
That's correct; I was selected in nine categories for 15 nominations last year mainly because it was a full-length album with several recordings that were selected by the academy including my VH1 top 10 hit 'movies' etc. 

We hear you are working on a music video for All I Remember. How is that going? 
Oh yes, the video for All I Remember is going to rock because we have some amazing footage from my US tour of my headlining shows at Cafe Wha in New York (the same stage where Jimi Hendrix played) and my headlining performance at the Whiskey A Go-go in LA (where the Doors played) :). So, we have some fantastic stuff from the US tour and I'm in preproduction now for the India part of the video that will be in the video. I can't wait to release this one.

All I Remember - The New Single by Oliver Sean

All I Remember - The New Single by Oliver Sean

Listen to the brand new Oliver Sean single released worldwide to radio & media today to announce the singer's US Tour this September.

Oliver Sean launches East Coast Tour with New Single


*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***

 

 

OLIVER SEAN LAUNCHES EAST COAST TOUR WITH NEW SINGLE

"All I Remember" Brings Platinum-Selling International Artist to the U.S.

 

Aug. 11, 2012 – Today, internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Oliver Sean released his latest single "All I Remember" on radio stations worldwide and online. The new song features Sean's distinctive style of percussive rock laced with heavy licks and earnest lyrics. Coming on the heels of the platinum selling single "So Good," this latest track also sets the stage for Sean's first U.S. tour beginning Sept. 15.

 

"All I Remember" combines Oliver Sean's unique voice with a blended style of rock, driven by his rich heritage. Sean attributes his cultural legacy to time spent in Goa (India), Dubai and London, and the music he heard in those diverse cities. He also is a big fan of American music, and many of his songs carry a hint of down-home strum, which should appeal to U.S. audiences.

 

Over the last ten years, Sean has ascended from local performer in Goa to international rock phenom, playing tours across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including stops in London, Dubai and other major cities. His debut album "I Like It" (2002) was nominated for AV Max International Album of the Year along with albums by John Mayer, Third Eye Blind, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams. Oliver Sean's single "So Good" reached the No. 2 spot on International Charts (Asia/Middle East) earlier this year, and his single "Movies" reached the Top 10 charts of Vh1's International channel, placing Sean alongside artists such as Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars and Pitbull. In June, he received his own feature spot on Vh1 Specials, a program that highlights prominent and upcoming artists. His rise led Sun magazine to label Oliver Sean "Independent music's hottest international offering."

 

Sean hopes to build on his international prestige with his first U.S. tour, which includes shows in the tri-state area and is part of a larger international tour that includes dates in Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East. Among U.S. stops is a Sept. 26 radio interview and live acoustic performance on WRCN 103.9 FM's "Morning Drive Show" in New York. The following evening, Oliver Sean will play a concert at the renowned Cafe Wha? (115 Macdougal St., NY), which claims to have launched the careers of legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen and Joni Mitchell. Additional shows and festivals in the U.S. and Canada are planned for 2013.

 

Several qualities of Oliver Sean's success that Americans will appreciate are his hard work, independent spirit and varied interests. The only child of a single mother, Sean acknowledges her as the source of his work ethic. "It's because of her that I got to where I am," he said. "She showed me it's possible to overcome any difficulty and do what matters most to you." The singer dedicated "Alone," the third single off his album So Good, to his mother because of its message about the strength and perseverance of single mothers. The music video for "Alone" has appeared on Vh1's Hit Factory and elsewhere.

 

In addition to writing and composing all of his own music, Sean has produced and directed music videos for himself and other international artists. In 1998, at a young age he created his own label, W.O.A. International, to promote fresh and established international musicians like himself. Twelve years later, W.O.A International is one of the largest Indie record labels in Asia and the Middle East that help promote independent talent. Sean's film endeavors include a soundtrack for a popular international film, and he is currently working on a documentary about the importance of protecting endangered tigers, based on the book Once Upon a Time by Wanda Alvares. The singer-songwriter also has an MBA from American University in Dubai.

 

"All I Remember" can be heard starting today on radio stations around the world. It also is available on iTunes and as a special download for members of the Oliver Sean Fan Club.
