Dmitri Northman

Краткая биография

Родившийся 21 ноября 1979 года Дмитрий Нортман, на данный Момент, является одним из наиболее интересных музыкальных продюсеров, талант которого уже оценили и на западе, и на востоке.

Юрист по образованию, с ученой степенью в области политических наук, Дмитрий все же имеет за плечами и музыкальное образование: он закончил музыкальную школу, после которой продолжал заниматься вокалом индивидуально с преподавателями.

Он не просто композитор или продюсер, - он автор музыки, автор текстов, и аранжировщик с достаточно обширным опытом - возможно, именно это позволило ему не просто записать свой альбом, но и попасть в ротацию радиостанций в Японии, Австралии, Великобритании и США.

В 2002-2003 годы трек Screenplay в течение 2 месяцев занимал 2 место в чартах австралийской радиостанции Ison Live Radio. Тогда же на радио Yellow Beat в Японии песня I wanna believe была объявлена Recommended song of December и включена в юбилейную программу по случаю дня рождения станции.

В апреле 2004 года голливудская звукозаписывающая компания Jet Speed Records предложила Дмитрию контракт на запись трех музыкальных альбомов, а годом позже он подписал и контракт на издание трех песен (Bye, Never Done, All I Can See) с французской издательской компанией Line music.

Уже в июле 2005 он начал активное сотрудничество с Shmusicmusic Records and Veracruz Music International (Великобритания) по саунд-продюсированию известной азербайджанской вокалистки Мананы Джапаридзе,планирующей, в ближайшее время, выход на Европейский музыкальный рынок. Еще пару месяцев спустя Дмитрий вновь получил предложение контракта на запись музыкального альбома от американского рекорд-лейбла Ragtime Continuum.

В сентябре того же года трек I Wanna Believe был использован для аудиовизуального оформления японского музыкального DVD-журнала, а также состоялась совместная запись трека Don’t Make A Mistake Again с итальянской командой Pressla Boys.

Let It Go On - новая песня Дмитрий - уже через три дня после включения ее в эфир Интернет-радиостанции Garage Band (www.garageband.com)
получила две награды: The best programming in pop и The most originality in pop.

Год жизни в Стокгольме, - столице поп-музыке, - способствовал дальнейшему творческому развитию и плодотворному сотрудничеству с такими именами как: Nervo (Pussycat Dolls, Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis - EMI UK), Andres Bagge (Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion, Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, Shania Twain, Madonna и многие другие), Jock-E (Ace of Base, Tomas Anders, Dannii Minogue, Jennifer Paige), Negin Djafari (Universal Scandinavia), Hannah Robinson (Sugarbabes, Geri Halliwell, Jamelia, Emma Bunton, Rachel Stevens), Neil Campain (“Astralworks”), Per Magnusson & David Krueger (“A-Side Production”: Westlife, Britney Spears, Leona Lwis, Shayne Ward, Gareth Gates), Esbjorn Ohrwall (“Basecamp”).

Кроме, собственно, музыкальной деятельности Дмитрий является штатным музыкальным критиком и ведущим рубрики CD в журнале “Ваш Досуг”.

Более того, в настоящий момент идет работа над изданием книги на основе написанного им диссертационного исследования: «Использование музыкальных средств в современной политике». Данная работа посвящена вопросам изучения теории и практики использования музыки в политических, избирательных кампаниях, PR акциях, а также политической рекламе. С текстом диссертации можно ознакомиться в читальном зале Российской Государственной Библиотеки.

RedOne

Краткая биография

RedOne (born Nadir Khayat) is an award winning Moroccan-Swedish producer/songwriter.

RedOne began his career producing in the European pop music scene that became synonymous with the pop music of the 21st century. After years of struggling, RedOne received acclaim in Canada for the hits "I Wish" and "Little Mama," recorded by Juno Award nominee Carl Henry, as well as in his home country, where he won both a Swedish Grammy and Scandinavian Song of the Year award for "Step Up," working with frequent co-writer Bilal Hajji.

In 2006 RedOne entered the global marketplace with his smash hit "Bamboo," which was named "Official Melody" for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Selected from over one thousand submissions, "Bamboo" was featured for the branding and promotion of the event during television broadcasts and advertising campaigns, branded cross-promotions, and as a part of the World Cup Official Music Program.

In addition, The F?d?ration Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was so impressed with RedOne's talent that he was made the main producer and songwriter for the 2006 World Cup Official Music Program.

RedOne also produced a "mash-up" remix of Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" featuring Wyclef Jean and RedOne's "Bamboo." The remix was performed by Shakira and Wyclef Jean at the World Cup's Final in Berlin to an estimated worldwide television audience of more than 1.2 billion. Ultimately, "Bamboo" helped establish RedOne as a top producer in the global marketplace, especially in the United States.

In 2007, RedOne began writing and producing for New Kids on the Block, Akon, Brandy, Enrique Iglesias, Lionel Richie, The Cheetah Girls, Menudo, Varsity Fanclub, Robyn, Tami Chynn and RBD. He also produced Kat Deluna's debut-album 9 Lives, which included the hit single "Whine Up" featuring Elephant Man.
2008 proved to be another big year for RedOne with his work on "Just Dance," by Lady GaGa, garnering the No. 1 spot in several countries worldwide.

In addition, RedOne produced 7 tracks from New Kids on the Block's album The Block, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. It was also announced that Michael Jackson hired RedOne and Akon to produce his new album. The trio began working together at the Palms recording studio in Las Vegas.[3] RedOne also lent his production talents on Swedish pop singer Darin's album Flashback. On December 4, 2008, he received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Recording for his production on Lady GaGa's "Just Dance."

In addition to his production credits, RedOne has written for Christina Milian, 3LW, A*Teens and Tiffany Evans, and has worked alongside writers and producers such as Gordon Chambers, Teron Beal, Mary Brown, Desmond Child, Akon, The Clutch, Bilal Hajji, and Lady GaGa.[1] He is also the co-owner of RedOneKonvict with Akon.

Kenisha Pratt

Краткая биография

Call her talented. Call her gifted. Call her a renaissance woman for the new millennium. Or, just call her when you need a hit, as some of todays hottest producers and artists do when they need that platinum touch.

21 year-old multi instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, arranger AND vocalist Kenisha Pratt has been at the forefront of contemporary R&B, pop, and soul music for the past couple of years and now, her time to shine has come. Kenisha has written and co-written some of the hottest songs by artists such as Brandy, Toni Braxton, TLC, and more. Shes also worked with such talented producers as Rodney Jerkins (Brandy, Destinys Child, Jennifer Lopez), Full Force (*NSYNC, Britney Spears), QD III (Tupac, Westside Connection), and others.

Her biggest breakthrough came with the success of Brandys crossover smash hit of 2002 What About Us? Written alongside producer Rodney Jerkins, Kenishas talents began to get picked up by other artists, and soon lead to her publishing deal with major heavy-weight Windswept Publishing.

In addition, Kenisha wrote on 7 other songs on Brandys Full Moon album: B*Rocka, What About Us?, When you Touch Me, Anybody, Nothing, WOW, and Apart. She also wrote the hit for TLC Over Me, and two album cuts for Toni Braxton entitled Selfish and Whatchu Need. In May of 2003, Kenisha received the BMI Songwriting Achievement Award for writing the smash hit What About Us? for Brandy.

This was only the beginning of her many awards and career highlights. Such an auspicious start for a girl from Los Angeles was by no means a chance happening. Having been groomed by the start by her mother, an accomplished voice and piano teacher in her own right, Kenisha sang her first solo at the tender age of 2. Kenisha proceeded to write her first song at the age of 13.

Kenisha then took her many musical talents to high school. But not just any high school. Kenisha attended HollywoodHigh School for the Performing Arts, the high school that turned out many of todays stars of music and film. Kenishas reputation as a passionate songwriter and compelling singer has sparked strong interest in a recording career, but she still remains humble.

Kristian Lundin

Краткая биография

Kristian Lundin (born May 7, 1973) is a Swedish composer, music producer and songwriter.

Beginning his career as a member of the Swedish duo Amadin (John Amatiello & Kristian Lundin), Kristian's writing and production talents were quickly recognized by music industry icon Denniz PoP, who invited him to join the Cheiron Studios team just as they began their incredible string of successes in 1993.

Kristian's big break internationally came with the song "Quit Playing Games With My Heart" which he co-produced with Max Martin for the Backstreet Boys. As an encore, Kristian quickly followed that success by co-writing & producing "Tearin' Up My Heart" for 'N Sync, which became their hot ticket to the charts.

Following the untimely death of Denniz PoP, Kristian continued to work with fellow members of the Cheiron team, including Max Martin, Andreas Carlsson and Jake Schulze. Together they carried on the hit-making legacy by writing and producing hits like "Bye Bye Bye" for 'N Sync, "Born to Make You Happy" for Britney Spears, "That's the Way It Is" and I'm Alive for Celine Dion.

In 1999 he received a Grammy-nomination for producing "I Want It That Way" with Max Martin. They both contributed as a producers and writers on Backstreet Boys songs "Larger than Life", "As Long as You Love Me", "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely", "EveryOne" and "Not For Me". Kristian was nominated again in 2000 for ”Bye Bye Bye” with 'N Sync. In addition to his Grammy nominations, he's also been presented with four American Diamond Awards and received an honor from SKAP (Swedish Composers Of Popular Music) in 2002.

In January 2001 former Cheiron-members Andreas Carlsson, Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze assumed the lease of the legendary Cheiron studios. Two years later, they launched the production-company The Location and the publishing-company Location Songs, where writer Savan Kotecha among others are signed. The Location works for record companies and publishers on a project basis.

We write and produce songs for artists who already have a record contract and we produce demos for songwriters who have a songwriter contract. The way we work in the music industry implies that we can not and will not accept demo music/lyrics, nor will we give advice as to where to send demo music/lyrics or recommend recording, producing, publishing and management companies. Finally, we do not provide instrumental versions or music sheets to songs. Thank you for your understanding.
