Guardian has been featured on a couple of Radio Stations and a few Record Labels were
interested in signing the track as well as other`s Maestro produced. He and Emma are
currently working on more songs together and are looking for an album deal with the right
Record Label……

8. Maestro
 Maestro is working on his own album titled From Dusk Till Dawn. He is also working with
various singers and Producers. His music has been played on a couple of Radio stations. Roger
Goode played a song he produced called Jaws Remix on Radio 5. Africa was played on Mutha
Fm. Flying Cobra was showcased in a couple of clubs including some Uk one`s. Guardian was
played on another 3 Radio Stations and a few Record Labels were interested in signing the
track as well as other`s Maestro produced.
 He recently got offered the position of Vice President for Equinox Recordings and He and the
owner are also producing some songs together and working on a Dance Album. They have a
few dance songs in the pipeline including Je Bent Mooi a dance track they are workin g on.
 He was contacted by Rhinosilver Entertainment a USA based company to work together on
different projects and music. They offered him a Sony/Ioda deal for his music and he will
produce music for their artists.
 He has a daily growing Fan base as you can see from the Snapshots and have even more Fans
at this present moment in time.
Imagine a full Orchestra on stage combining classical music with dance as a concept. Having dancers
on stage like ballroom dancing, Africa dancers and so on. Imagine a stage performance where you
progress thru all the different areas in music and times and eras. Imagine a Fred Astaire song like
singing in the rain then turning into a dance tune. Maybe a remix of a legend like Nat King Cole. Dark
intro`s like resident evil going into a stage performance. Opera singers on stage. The goal is to think
out of the box and do concepts that will bring the paying public. We can even focus on dance but with
various genres included. Look at what Robert Miles did with his song children. He made Platypuss
Records into what it is today, an Empire.
I need to get my Music placed with major artists and in films, soundtracks and for games. If possible I
would need management for Maestro as well as a good Record Label. I produce Urban POP and many
more styles including Dance. I see myself on stage with a DJ and singer and the concepts I described
above. I am a versatile music producer and can produce any style of music. I do not want to limit
myself to producing only one style . I want to do music for films, games and so on. With the right
people behind me I want to win Awards and be in all the charts with every single song working
together as a unit like a well oiled machine. We are going for gold not silver. I have this outlook on
life; if one thing does not happen I do not cry and focus on the next. Failure is not an option I will
even consider myself. I have been told I can be a force to be reckoned with in the USA and abroad.
They are not wrong and it will happen.
I want to get signed to a USA or International record label as well. I have music ready and a catalogue
with various productions. I also did all the music for the Movie Zombie land or any other Horror movie
or game for that matter and am ready with the material so it can be pre sented and used in various
film and game soundtracks……

This is just some of the feedback I have received……
Robbie Lock (Producer at Soviet Recordings)
I like that old-school vibe it’s got with guardian, kind of cross trance n dance plus Emma`s vocals
adds so much seduction to the track which gives it much more dimension ... love that epic feel it has
on Rider dance with the glorious piano riff which stands out a mile, sticks in your mind as well real
nice gated synth with a driven bass line makes it really danceable but it’s this beautiful piano melody
which makes that track for me really nice ....
Suzy Solar (Top USA Dance DJ featured on Paul Oaken fold’s Grammy nominated album
"Cream fields)
Right on:) I'll be looking forward to the finished version. Please send it my way so I can support it:)
cheers!
I have great support from some Top Dj`s and music producers. And then of course all my
loyal fans who are waiting patiently for my music to be out on cd……..
