| Sarah Brightman |
|
Everything about Sarah Brightman is multi-dimensional. Her penchant for fusing musical genres. Her multi-faceted voice. Her contrasting personas. The life and career of this multi-platinum artist is equally colorful and intriguing. Fans of Sarah's latest works are often surprised to learn of her illustrious past in Andrew Lloyd Webber productions on Broadway and the West End. Conversely, those who remember her landmark role in Phantom of the Opera find themselves marveling at the exciting direction her career has taken since. Her music defies categorization. Sarah has confounded critics and record conventions alike. Her career has not only transcended musical genres, but has blurred the lines that divide and pigeon-hole musical forms. From pop to musical theatre, opera to classical crossover, few artists can lay claim to such musical breadth. Having sold over 16 million records and establishing herself as the pre-eminent queen of classical crossover, Sarah has chosen once again to challenge herself and break new musical round.
Sarah's 2004 worldwide tour in support of her Harem album release, spanned 45 arena dates in North America, and to Europe and the Far East.
If you missed the Harem Tour, you can check it out on the 2-disc DVD set "Sarah Brightman: Live from Las Vegas". This is a recording of the sold-out concert at the MGM Grand. In addition to the full-length concert, it also features a second disc of backstage bonus materials.

| Goldfrapp |
|
From the electric shriek of their first single Lovely Head, to the glitterball glamour of their live shows, Goldfrapp have never been shy of making an entrance.
Their 2000 debut album Felt Mountain, was a spellbinding cocktail of dreamy narcotic moods, elements of tango and torch songs wrapped in edgy electronica. Acclaimed worldwide, it was a timeless collection that made an emphatic soundtrack to the start of the new millennium. The sound of a bench being marked called Time Out London and Rolling Stone stated an awesome amount of sensation.
Black Cherry builds on their trademark experimental edges and that awesome force is every bit as evident and not a shred less relevant. Goldfrapp is currently touring the world.

| Loreta |
|
Born in Lithuania's capital city of Vilnius to a family of well-known and highly respected musicians, Loreta's early years were spent travelling the world with her parents who represented their communist country, even performing for members of the Kennedy family.
At the age of 4, Loreta entered a national talent competition that was screened across the whole Soviet Union. She emerged the peoples' favorite and from that moment on, her life would change forever. Requests flooded in for the young starlet at 5 she received the first of many invitations to sing for the Lithuanian President. By the time she was 7, Loreta was holding her own amongst all other performers, in front of crowds of up to 20,000 in Moscow on numerous occasions, something which would continue right into her teenage years. In fact, Loreta made history as the first child to perform professionally on reputable stages such as Olympic Stadium (Moscow arena), Rossia Hall and Luzhniki Stadium along-side artists such as the multi-million selling Alla Pugacheva.
Seeing the world as her stage at 15 Loreta moved to London to finish her education and hone her craft and by the time school was behind her, Loreta had already begun working with successful UK songwriters including Russ Ballard, Bruce Woolley & Jackie Rawe. As recognition for her talent continued, Loreta was asked to perform the soprano vocals on Grace Jones' song "Storm", for "The Avengers" movie soundtrack. Another foray into the world of soundtracks came when Loreta performed and co-wrote the song "Trouble with Boys" for the US primetime sitcom "Friends". Junior Vasquez provided the remix and the track became the integral audio backdrop for the hilarious Monica/Ross dance routine.
After so many years of hard work, success was beckoning but Loreta found herself in a situation with no creative freedom and unable to make the music she wanted, she made the tough decision to take time out from her career and made another move but this time to Miami. Never leaving music behind, she began educating herself in the business and law of the music industry until she found herself once again inspired and writing songs, with an uncontrollable desire to be back out performing.
Bags packed again, Loreta moved to her current home in Los Angeles where she is writing, recording and producing songs for her debut album.
