John & Nienke

 


What happens when a song stays with you all the time and you can’t get it out of your head…

It happened to John with the beautifull song “What do I know” written by Steven McClintock. So we dicided that we take the song into our studio, made our own version of it… so we did.

The song developed as we were working on it and we decided to make two versions. One version featuring Mark Lennon (from the band Venice) and the other version as a love duet between John & Nienke.

Al Walser

 


Al Walser is a GRAMMY®-WINNING musician and producer of several GRAMMY®-WINNING albums. He's also the producer and host of the syndicated weekly US TOP 20 Show, aired on hundreds of stations worldwide and founder of the annual Galas THE SOIRÉE in the US and the REBEL&CAVIAR Night in Switzerland. His widely celebrated Christmas TV Special most recently won a TELLY AWARD in the category “Entertainment” and was broadcast on PBS nationwide 100 times. The special has now also been included by AMAZON.

Al Walser is a modern day Rock'n'Roll music renegade and entertainment pioneer. His unique forward pushing sound and his rebellious approach towards today's music industry infects people's consciousness while disrupting the status quo. In an industry where popular music has shorn off their rough edges, Al Walser dares to not playing it safe. 

​An outstanding marketer, musician and producer who's been highly featured and profiled on magazines such as Billboard, Rolling Stones, NPR and SPIN. He’s the ideal mentor for anyone tired of outdated, expensive and ineffective methods in the music industry. Al Walser has been the first 100%  DIY independent artist to ever get a GRAMMY®-Nomination in a major label driven category. His Nomination was highly publicized around the world and has opened the gate to new independent artists striving to make a mark on the entertainment's highest platform.

​Where many today rub off their rough edges, stopping major disruption from happening but yet trying to appeal to everybody,  Al Walser is the antidote, the opposite of phony culture.

​It is truly the American dream. Al Walser originates from the tiniest double landlocked country on earth, Liechtenstein, where he finished his studies with the Matura at the Liechtenstein Gymnasium,  to then succeed in music in America. His efforts have paid off many times over. Al’s singing career started at the tender age of 8 years. In his early teenage years he won several Karaoke festivals. Later, when Radio Liechtenstein was founded , a young Al Walser quickly rose to become the country’s first native Radio personality, hosting the morning shows, the weekly Charts and his own music special. He went on the air the same week the station was founded and helped shape and modernize Liechtenstein's electronic media.

​After his radio stint he joined the Hamburg based Pop Group Fun Factory with whom he toured throughout the world. Al wrote, performed and co-produced many of the group's hit tracks. One of the many hit songs " Party With Fun Factory " became Japan’s most played Dance song in its era also topping Japan's ZIP 100 charts. As a member of the legendary Team 33 production team in Hamburg, Al Walser, wrote and produced projects from producer Dieter Bohlen such as " Kids In America " from Touché. Other projects included dance chart project 2 Eivissa and a 1 year solo tour with Berlin’s #1 Hit station JAM FM and the 2nd place in the Swiss Eurovision song contest qualification for his written and produced song "Just for You" with Nubya.

  In 2012, he  was nominated for a Grammy for the first time. His Hit production of the single "Trendsetter" for teen star Joelina Drews has been included in the soundtrack to the hit TV show “Beverly Hills 90210“. His production for Ted Nash's album won the Grammy in 2017.

Al Walser can currently be seen on numerous international TV Shows . He’s today also one of the most televised celebrities in the GERMAN speaking TV Station market. Al Walser is also the producer and host of the weekly syndicated Countdown Show "US TOP 20 Show" which is currently broadcast and syndicated weekly on radio stations worldwide.

Destiny Band Oz


 

Destiny Band Oz is a multi-award winning duo comprising husband and wife singer-songwriters, Thomas and Tessa Libreri.
 
Their versatile music and vocal styles range from soulful ballads to pumpy, country rock; ('Country, Rock and Soul!) They have already released 3 albums and 2 EPs and are excited to have just released their new album of original songs with new producer, Damian Cafarella of EOR Studios called 'Who I Might Be'.

As children, Thomas and Tessa grew up in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Thomas in Reservoir and Tessa in Kilsyth. They were both musically inclined and tutored in music and singing. Thomas formed his first band at 12 playing bass guitar and had singing lessons from Normie Rowe.  He played in many bands over the years. Tessa performed in musicals, went to the Johnny Young Talent School and was classically trained by Suzanne Steele then with Audrey Duggan. 

Thomas and Tessa met in a line-dancing country band based in Kinglake in 1996 which seemed like 'destiny' and they soon branched out on their own as a duo and later with various full band line-ups performing at clubs and functions. They married, had children and settled in Kinglake. They didn't perform much whilst their children were very young and then the horrific Black Saturday bushfires struck. Thomas and Tessa fought and saved their home and family and some of their neighbours but not all - and in the aftermath they decided to move their family away to Gippsland for a new start. (Thomas received a 'BM' - Bravery Medal from the Governor-General of Australia for his actions in saving a neighbour after the fire who sadly died a few weeks later in hospital) both Thomas and Tessa were heavily involved in the relief and rebuilding effort personally and through their building business at the time.
 
After moving to Gippsland, they devoted themselves to the activities of their primary school aged daughters, joined community groups and clubs in the area and soon found themselves performing full-on again. They decided to record an album of their original songs written over the years because of their life-changing experience and knowing how fragile life is, so it was more for posterity than anything but they were encouraged by local radio hosts who'd heard them perform their songs to release a song to radio, which they did in 2017.

Since then, they've had amazing #1 and Top 10 chart successes for their music and have amassed over a dozen major Australian and International awards.
