Emma Lock:

He is currently working on a song called Guardian and L.O.V.E and various remixes with the

Prolific Singer Song-Writer Emma Lock who hit the Electronic Dance scene in 2010, wowing

dance music lovers with her angelic divine Vocals, infectious Melodies and flawless Lyrics.

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……

Emma is known for her song ‘Save Me’ that smashed into the #1 slot on Beat port and

Audio Jelly Charts, alongside DJ/Producer Andrew Chen aka DJ Shogun. Signed to Armada

Music, and heavily supported by Armin Van Buuren on ‘A State of Trance Radio’, ‘Save Me’ topped

the charts for 5 weeks whilst clubbers around the world united, raising their hands and singing

along in support. Emma was voted in as “future-favored. “With 18 hits released since 2010,

Emma Lock has worked with a number of established and upcoming DJ’s and producers. Tracks like

‘Hiding to Nothing’ were included on the ‘In Trance We Trust” CD in 2011. ‘Cut and Run’ with Beat

Service was personally chosen to go on ‘A State of Trance' in 2011 by Armin Van Burren.To date,

Emma Lock is featured and collaborated on more than 80 track collaborations. “George

Acosta, Feat Emma Lock’s “Never Fear” is #13 in Billboard’s dance-club Chart with a

bullet! Emma wrote this song and many others that chart on Billboard.

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 working 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 presented 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……..
