<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> One of Greece’s most popular singers, Nikos Oikonomopoulos is preparing for the release of his 10th album! Delighting fans with recent hits “O Haraktiras” and “Einai Kati Laiko”, the solo star is soon to make it a hat-trick with newbie single “Gia Kapoio Logo”. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZt-gWPpcWGIcWT5kUZFHPHFRRmgq_U03QPUQK6Mep9FWLgS6_yOS4dhSAzArj1KjtiunFTF86aTXWCwfzdJ93zwEEQpL15QhF-erKerdiyMmO5yFSwjpCsTik68MC7m1mqkEy66numGg/s1600/paparizou2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="700" height="163" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZt-gWPpcWGIcWT5kUZFHPHFRRmgq_U03QPUQK6Mep9FWLgS6_yOS4dhSAzArj1KjtiunFTF86aTXWCwfzdJ93zwEEQpL15QhF-erKerdiyMmO5yFSwjpCsTik68MC7m1mqkEy66numGg/s320/paparizou2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jPjEjsNd1B-6-yJn-ZV4N1SGpPnkbxRvYHZpK0vD01Z_tNCjK2Np_wudD3OixHTKXcDoSn6E3KdoDqMDqoSyLZ4GscvILVEGMrUWJ3iI-SeXiXPP48PS11RskjVu0s7NDvH6voAd9aM/s1600/makropoulos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="225" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9jPjEjsNd1B-6-yJn-ZV4N1SGpPnkbxRvYHZpK0vD01Z_tNCjK2Np_wudD3OixHTKXcDoSn6E3KdoDqMDqoSyLZ4GscvILVEGMrUWJ3iI-SeXiXPP48PS11RskjVu0s7NDvH6voAd9aM/s320/makropoulos.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Composed by, singer-songwriter in his own right, Giorgos Sampanis and successful lyricist Eleni Giannatsoulia, it is perhaps the final teaser before the new album drops in December.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Elena Paparizou is hooking up with Anastasios Rammos, in a purely musical sense of course, for the heart-rending and emotive ballad “An Me Deis Na Kleiw”; passionately intense, the song captures the torturous side of love when a relationship is on the rocks. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Fans enjoyed their first taste of the collaboration when the duo performed a captivating rendition at the MAD Music awards in the summer. Teaser clips of the video to accompany the official single release, build on the great chemistry and presence the pair share. Definitely a song to add to your playlist!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> And finally… </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Nikos Makropoulos returns to the music scene with the dynamic and powerful love ballad “Zitise Mou”; a guitar driven pop track composed by Giannis Fraseri and Vangelis Konstantinidis. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">An uplifting song, complete with Makropoulos’ warm and melodious voice – no doubt another sure-fire hit for the popular singer and a lovely precursor to his upcoming new album release.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Kostas Martakis makes a welcome return with “Duo’ Fwties” - an intense and passionate laiko ‘horeutiko’ with modern hues and flair. Composed by Giannis Frasserris and Vangelis Konstantinidis, this promises to be another hit for Martakis. “Duo Fwties” is his second single release on Panik Platinum Records, following on from the hugely successful “Axize” which monopolised the charts earlier this year.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Christos Cholides is also experiencing the woes of love in “Poios Se Krataei”. Set amidst a light pop/rock backdrop, the music perfectly encapsulates the anguish and betrayal our protagonist feels towards his indecisive lover, ultimately forcing him to take reins and end the relationship, in this fiery break up song.</span></div>

Superstar songbird Mariah Carey is turning her hand to TV now that plans are in the works for a fictional scripted drama series based on Mariah's real-life experiences and her rise to fame. The singer will be taking an important backstage role as executive producer alongside long-time friend and film-maker Brett Ratner. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The series will be set in 1986 New York City and follow the rise of an ambitious 16-year-old aspiring singer-songwriter who, having survived a difficult childhood, goes on to become the biggest selling female music artist of all time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mariah has previously produced the docu-series “Mariah's World” that treated fans to a behind-the-scenes look at her A-List lifestyle. Also in the pipeline for Ms Mariah is an animated movie based on her huge Xmas smash 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Popular smooth operator Nikos Vertis is known to make the ladies swoon and his new single will certainly have fans in a tizz. The singer returns “Eroteumenos”; his latest song full of romance, sweeping melodies and declarations of all encompassing love (sigh) – just perfect for those warm summer nights. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Composed by Idan Raichel and Giorgos Tsopanis, this is one of the first cuts from Vertis’ eagerly anticipated new album. His last collection of songs was released back in 2015, so it’s about time!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The six track playlist celebrates collaborations with new and old friends and includes: a new Foivos inspired remix of the Eurovision queens’ recent smash “Haide” featuring American artist Kemist, a long strived for duet with good friend Tamta entitled “Twra I Pote (Ora O Mai Piu)”, “Palia Mou Agapi” - a collaboration with Mark Angelo, “An Me Deis Na Klaiw” with Anastasios Rammos, “Koritsi Tou Mai (Venus)” alongside 8tetto, and finally Colour Your Dream (the official anthem from the 2017 festival of the same name). So there’s the soundtrack for the summer sorted!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">

This particular track features Goin’ Through rapper Nikos “Nivo” Vourliotis and is a punchy, attitude driven stomper – showing the ‘don’t mess with me side’ of Paola.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This week in Xclusive! I’m catching up with Cypriot, singer-songwriter Nicola K aka ‘Sertari’ to find out the who’s, what’s and why’s in her music journey so far...</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG_8MH1AEzkQj2JzU6V4kNwWhHF3nrVfHkMU-Epox7RxUR9VPj8euVOWgwUeLO3iHF7U4h6JTOGLz3rzR40jOVgrP92ULQnpacw-279kIsxjyOVShqrJIBiGUcrkEiczFFnpiWgGq8A8/s1600/Sertari-main-header_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="382" data-original-width="676" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTG_8MH1AEzkQj2JzU6V4kNwWhHF3nrVfHkMU-Epox7RxUR9VPj8euVOWgwUeLO3iHF7U4h6JTOGLz3rzR40jOVgrP92ULQnpacw-279kIsxjyOVShqrJIBiGUcrkEiczFFnpiWgGq8A8/s400/Sertari-main-header_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">Your stage name is ‘Sertari’ – where is it from and what exactly does it mean?</span> Sertari comes from the last part of my maiden name, Koussertari. My Dad – who is also a singer and musician – had the stage name Nicolas Sertari, so you could say I have borrowed my dad’s stage name!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">Who are you’re biggest influences and how have they shaped you as an artist?</span> My musical influences are quite wide ranging, from Rock to Latin, Hip-Hop, R‘n’B, traditional and Pop; Nightwish, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Kate Bush, Prince, Tori Amos… </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe having such a wide range of musical influences means I can evolve each collection of songs and blend elements of different genres into each song.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">In 5 words how would you describe your sound? </span>Evolving, beats, pumping, atmospheric, lyrical.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You recently became a mum – has this impacted your music in any way? Yes I had a little girl, well she is 2 now! Time has defiantly flown by. Being a mum does obviously have an effect on writing/producing (headphones instead of speakers!), and it can sometimes take a lot of coffee when in the studio! However I write my songs based on personal experience and she is such an inspiration and features in a few of my songs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">You released an upbeat summer track last year entitled ‘Keep On Dreaming’ which was one of the songs inspired by your daughter…. </span>I wrote ‘Keep On Dreaming’ about a year before it was released... I wanted to let my daughter know that no matter what, to always aim for your dreams even if people try to discourage her, and to know that I will be there to guide her and support her, no matter what.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You’ve been compared to the likes of Gwen Stefani, Nelly Furtado and Helena Paparizou – how do you feel about that? Well I'm very surprised to be compared to artists such as them as I have great respect for what they do and what they have achieved. I feel I have my own unique vocals and style, however to be compared to any artist who is a success in such a hard industry is an honour.</span></div>

The whole city was packed with people, and it was such a great atmosphere and the appreciation for live music was something I will never forget.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And what’s been your weirdest place to play? I can’t think of the weirdest place, but I had to open up the Christmas lights once, dressed as Super girl!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">A new EP is on the cards – what can you tell us about it?</span> Yes! I'm currently back in the studio and putting together a new EP, for this year. It’s been a long time since my last fully produced EP – my “Unplugged EP” was back in 2013 – so I’m very excited for this new collection of songs. The sound maintains some of the punchy drums from “Keep On Dreaming” – but the songs blend a mix of guitars, atmospheric sounds with the big beats.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">A little birdie told me you’ve collaborated with Hip-Hop poet and Grammy award winner J-Ivy on a new track…</span> Oh yes, I cannot believe I have J-Ivy featuring on one of my tracks, he is simply amazing and I remember first hearing him on Kanye West’s track “Never Let You Down.” He has a great passion for words – and I'm so amazed he wanted to be on one of my tracks!! The track will be featuring on the new EP.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">When do you hope to have it ready for release?</span> The EP will be out later this year and I’m hoping for an early summer release – it depends on how the studio sessions and the videos come together!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Any upcoming gigs or plans to perform your newest material? I am hoping to perform the new material in Cyprus over the summer as well as performing at some festivals and venues in the UK.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What is currently playing on your Ipod at the moment? I have recently been listening to Prince’s live version of ‘No Diggity’, Bruno Mars – ‘24k Magic’, Gloria Jones – ‘Tainted Love’, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ cover by the Muppets (my daughters request), and on the rockier side of things… Don Broco – ‘Everybody’ (great riff!), 21 Pilots and Creeper (a great local act).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">What is your ‘go to’ song when you are:</span><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">seeking inspiration?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Depends on what mood I'm in…sometimes it could be something more rock (‘Nemo’ by Nightwish) but it could also be something more classical or traditional (I love Dimitris Mitropanos’ ‘Roza’!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">… need a cheer up?</span> Anything sung by the Muppets… or Tenacious D … or some Ska (Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake)!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">… want to dance?</span> Maybe some Aviici! Or something with a beat and a groove… like ‘Rappers Delight’. I also LOVE ‘Represent CUBA’ by Latin group Orishas.

Starring in The Illusionists in London's West End<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This week in XCLUSIVE! The world’s best selling touring magic show The Illusionists </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.8px;">– Witness The Impossible has finally arrived in London’s West End! </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">For part two of my Xclusive ‘Illusionists’ special, I caught up a Colin Cloud - </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">celebrated as the ‘real life Sherlock Holmes’ he is also known as The Deductionist. But </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">how will he fair under the microscope?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">When did your love of magic first start? </span>Never really magic bizarrely, I was fascinated </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">by Sherlock Holmes when I was younger, and I read the books when I was eight and thought </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the guys’ amazing. When I was ten I discovered he never actually existed, gutted – I was </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">devastated. By then I had the bug and was really into Sciences and understanding how </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">things work, the way people think, and really into hypnotism. I went to university when I was </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">quite young; got accepted at 15, studied forensic investigation, specialising in criminal </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">profiling. Realised that stand up comedians are amazing at being under pressure and being </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">aware of audiences, so I got into that, because the only way you can learn to do that is being </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">on stage. And then combined that world with the forensics and created this idea of trying to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">be like the real-life Sherlock Holmes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">What was the catalyst that refocused your career on Illusion?</span> I never really thought </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">this would happen - this is a dream come true. At the end of university I had the option of - </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">do I want to be stuck in a lab everyday doing or do I want to be travelling the world doing </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">shows for people, and I was like… no brainer. I started mainly doing a lot of corporate events </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">for companies, after dinner speaking, hosting events and doing the Edinburgh festival a lot, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">which is handy as I live close by. That led to things like getting the NBC TV show and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">eventually The Illusionist guys saw that and went we think you’re right for this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">You performed in The Edinburgh Festival this year too, is that a totally different </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">show?</span> That’s an hour show of just me but the core skills are there – reading people, </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">deducing facts about them. Edinburgh was a blast! It was a complete sell out and it was in a </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">big venue, so that was amazing, and all the reviews were incredible from people and the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">media so I am delighted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">How many shows did you do in total?</span> 24 in the regular venue, and then 2 extra shows. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">And were they consecutive shows?</span> Every night, so it was pretty intense.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">You've earned yourself the name of The Deductionist – where did the name come </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">from?</span> Sherlock Holmes being the master of deduction! An episode of Elementary, the TV </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">show (based on the Sherlock character) also had an episode called The Deductionist, and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">that was just the perfect title.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">Colin you're often compared to your literary hero Sherlock Holmes is that </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">something you relish or does it add a lot of pressure?</span> I’m flattered that they think the </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">skill-set is the same, but Sherlock Holmes was a sociopath and very arrogant and rude. So, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m glad, for the right reasons, with the greatest respect to the fictional character that I’m </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">nothing like the persona he was meant to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">You're also described as a Mentalist what does that mean?</span><span style="color: lime;"> </span>Mentalism is more the </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">psychological side of magic, the trick side, so I’m definitely drawing on that. The beauty of it </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">is, on stage, I allow myself the luxury of blending it all so that you just get the experience of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">seeing the real-life Sherlock Holmes. So I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, other </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">than hopefully I’m entertaining. That’s the only claim I try to make.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">Comedy is a big part of your performances style, is personality just as important a </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">tool for a magician, as their magic skills?</span> Comedy is a way of being really honest and </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">bare in front of an audience and I think when you learn to do that and really connect with </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">people, you engage them and your performing has much more meaning. There is though, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">that appeal of magic being mysterious and not knowing exactly how it’s done and it makes it </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">interesting and dare I say, sexy. It’s meant to be fun and intriguing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">You are one of seven magicians to be performing at The Illusionists show which </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">will be taking up residency at the Shaftesbury Theatre in November – what can </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">audiences expect?</span> The show we’re planning is going to be fully immersive, it will contain </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">things people may have seen in movies or TV but never actually experienced. And to take </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">something from a two dimensional platform and to see it happening right there in front of </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you, it’s a totally different experience. It’s like watching a band play on TV and then going to </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">the concert and seeing them live. Being there live, the experience, the atmosphere, the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">energy. It changes everything.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">What’s it been like working with the other Illusionists? </span>When the other guys do their </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">stuff, because what I do isn’t really in that same world of magic, as such, I can watch what </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">they do and be totally blown away by it and not have a clue how it works, so it’s great.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">And if I was a fly on the wall in the green room what would I see? </span>We sit and play </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">poker. I’m reading them; they’re cheating with the cards… Imagine X-men hanging out…. No, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">you know its great, because our styles are so different there’s no level of competition. Were </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">on stage and helping each other through things, we’re there to support each other, it’s not a </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">competition. We want this to be the best show, and it will be incredible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">How similar will your solo set be to your Edinburgh show?</span> Well, this Edinburgh show </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">built to a grand finale where I would kill somebody on stage, and I got away with murder </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">every night, so… we’ll ditch that bit. But, I mean certainly reading people, deducing things </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and forecasting outcomes of events - that will all be there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">With your style of illusion, every show must be totally different... </span>Yeah because </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">people are different, right. You also have to be delicate… If someone in the audience is </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">having an affair with their neighbour you don’t want to divulge that, I mean hold on to it and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">blackmail them at a later date obviously. But no, I’m very delicate and only reveal things that </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">are still amazing but that are upbeat, uplifting and fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">Developments in technology and social media have had a huge effect on every </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">entertainment industry – how do feel it has impacted the art of illusion? Do you </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">use special effects in your performance?</span> Lighting and music to keep it upbeat and Rock </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">and Roll. I think sometimes too much of that can detract from what it is you’re doing. So </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">often the magic you’re seeing is amazing on its own, and too much of that makes it get lost. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Aside from the performances at the Shaftesbury, you also have your own TV show </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">in the works. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">What can you tell us about that?</span> The network has started releasing a few </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">clips. So its that feel of being able to deduce, showing the signs but it still keeps the mystery, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">because that’s what makes it entertaining to watch, so that’s all on the go at the moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">Has anything ever gone really wrong while you were deducing someone during a </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">show?</span> No never, and I’m offended you would think that. No, certainly early on when you’re </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">trying stuff; you don’t know how people will respond and react, so it’s a case of learning </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">quickly. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, right, and I want every performance to be perfect, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">but now with the comedy, if things are going wrong, I can hide it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">Any major goals that you’d like to work towards for the future?</span> I’d love for </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">everything that I’m doing to be well received by everyone, and I work really hard to ensure </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">that it is. I want to constantly grow, evolve, make it bigger, better, more exciting so that the </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">audience is constantly blown away. Its one thing to be doing it, but to stay at that level… I </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">want to be constantly reinventing it and making it as amazing as it can be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow; font-family: inherit;">What is the best piece of advice you could give an aspiring magician who wants to </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: yellow;">make this their profession?</span> When I was at school, I was quiet, reserved, shy and into </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12.8px;">Sciences and there were a lot of bullies. It was horrible and I really hated a lot of that. So for </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">anyone who is really passionate about something, regardless of what it is, to not let that </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">deter them from the thing that they love to do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week in XCLUSIVE! The world’s best selling touring magic show <b>The Illusionists – Witness The Impossible </b>is a mere few days from its official London première and I cannot wait! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The show, originally a smash hit on Broadway and which has sold out in 71 cities across 17 countries, is set to dazzle London’s West End - boasting a phenomenal line-up featuring some of the world’s most captivating, mind-boggling magicians. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The magnificent seven will take to the stage at the Shaftesbury Theatre from Saturday 14th November 2015 – Sunday 3rd January 2016. With a mesmerizing mix of death-defying stunts, breath-taking illusions and dazzling magic tricks, the show has something for everyone. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> At the preview launch I caught up with <b>Den Den – The Manipulator and Colin Cloud – The Deductionist </b>who are set to star in this sensational show. Here is part one of this Xclusive series of Interviews.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">*****</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Named Magician of the Year (2014) by the Academy of Magical Arts and awarded the prestigious ‘Gold Medal Award of Honour’ from the Society of American Magicians, which has gone to only one magician before him, <b>Den Den </b>is the Master of Manipulation. Now you see it, now you don’t – let’s meet <b>The Manipulator.</b></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">When did your love of magic first start?</span> </b>I first started magic when I was about seven years old. I bought a magic set, which anybody could buy, from a department store. I started out on those magic kits and showing tricks to my friends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Did you always know this was the career for you?</span> </b>Not at all! When I was little I never thought this would be my profession.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">How did you learn your craft and develop your skills? </span></b>I developed in front of my mirror at home! I concentrated on brushing up my skills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">What was the first trick you ever learnt?</span></b> The moving handkerchief.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>What was the turning point that transformed magic from a hobby into a professional career</b></span>? I met a ‘professional’ magician in a bar, I saw him doing some magic and he was no better than me. I learnt later on, that he wasn't actually a professional magician!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">And it gave you the belief to go for it?</span></b> Exactly! I was convinced I could do it too!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">How did you develop your individual style? </span></b>From 15 to 23 years of age I performed as an actor in traditional Japanese theatre, such as Kabuki, and I am also trained in traditional Japanese dance. I wanted to develop my style of magic incorporating Japanese harmony and tradition.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Did your experience as performer help you as a magician? </span></b>It has been very helpful. In Japanese theatre there are a lot of eye movements and that has enhanced my magic too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Has a trick ever gone wrong live on stage and how did you recover?</span></b> Am I allowed to say? Maybe I shouldn't reveal my secrets! Well, I was participating in a prominent world competition and I had forgotten to put certain things in place... But how I dealt with it? Now that's a secret!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>You've</b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;"> won a host of awards from the industry, how important is it to be recognised in this way by your peers?</span></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It doesn't mean too much to me actually. Initially of course when I participated in lots of competitions I was really determined to get the best awards but as I was doing more, my motives and objectives changed; I get great pleasure from seeing positive reactions from the audience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">You are one of seven magicians to be performing at The Illusionists show which will be taking up residency at the Shaftesbury Theatre in November – what can audiences expect from your solo set? </span></b>Well I have included some Japanese cultural aspects in my magic show, so if the audience can feel that aspect of it, that would be really wonderful!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Advances in technology have created even more possibilities in the art of illusion – do you use special effects in your performance?</span></b> No nothing at all, it's all based on technique.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Would you ever reveal the secrets to your magic? I have never revealed my secrets and probably never will!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week in XCLUSIVE! I caught up with London Cypriot singer <b>Eleni C </b>to find out about her music, love of performing live and her upcoming Westfield Presents showcase in the Music Cube!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>How did your music journey first begin?</b></span> I always loved to sing and I fell in love with performing and then music became as essential to me as breathing. However, it was when I first sang my own material that I first thought I want music to be my life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">You've performed in many local festivals and events in North London, is it important for you to make a name for yourself in your local community?</span></b> I love performing in local festivals and events as it enables me not only to share my music but to also give something back to my local community. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: yellow; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>You've</b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b> been an opening act for Greek ska-reggae band Locomondo and also UK singer Little Boots how did that come about? </b></span>As the winner of the international Cyprus Music Festival in 2013 I was offered the opportunity to be one of the opening acts for the Locomondo concert. I was thrilled to say the least and I truly loved the experience as it offered me the opportunity to sing to a completely different crowd that I was used to. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Winning the Westfield presents Music Cube Competition in 2014 gave me the opportunity to be an opening act for Little Boots. Again it was an amazing experience being part of that show. I not only got the opportunity to perform in the Music Cube but I was also given the full VIP treatment, as well as having the opportunity to speak to various industry professionals, including Professor Green and various Kiss FM DJs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">Who are your biggest influences and what has shaped you as an artist?</span></b> My biggest influences would have to be Adele, Amy Winehouse and Sam Smith because their music is inspirational and the way they convey the emotions of their lyrics is enthralling. I am inspired by meaningful lyrics that make you think and feel. I believe the numerous live performances have enabled me to become the artist that I am today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>How would you describe your music style?</b></span> My music is Pop with minor influences from other genres. I like to fuse the old with the new and my own songs always have a message to make the audiences think, dance and feel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>You've had great success as a Westfield Presents artist – being one of the winners of the Westfield Music Cube competition in 2014 and also more recently named Artist of the Month (August 2015) – how did you first get involved in this event?</b></span> To begin with I applied to become one of the Westfield Present artists and then I was offered the opportunity to enter the competition for the Westfield Presents Music Cube 2014. I was shortlisted as I was one of the artists with the most public votes and then I was chosen as one of the winners by a music industry panel. I also entered a competition, for the Westfield Presents Artist of the Month in association with Sennheiser for August 2015, and I was chosen as the winner by a music industry panel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>Any live performances coming up?</b></span> My next live performance is in the Music Cube at Westfield London and I will be one of the opening acts for Dionne Bromfield, Stooshe and Foxes. The gig is this Saturday 7th November at 12pm and the tickets are free. You can book them using the link: https://www.musiccube.com I also have a few Christmas shows coming up including several at the Westfield Ice Rink.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>What do you have in store for your audience?</b></span> I have a brand new original song to perform. Also, for the first time I have my own branded merchandise and goodie bags for everybody that will attend the event.</span></div>

It's about being called a clown or an idiot for wanting to chase after what you want, because people will always say you're rubbish and all the rest of it, but if you don't follow what you want to do then you won't achieve anything fulfilling." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>What keeps you coming back to perform in the Music Cube?</b></span> Performing in the cube is such a privilege offered to few and I am currently the only artist that has had the opportunity to do so twice. The artists perform in a glass, soundproof cube, and the audiences listen wirelessly through Sennheiser Momentum headphones. This makes the interaction between the artist and the audience more intimate.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>Greatest moment on stage so far?</b></span> When I represented the U.K. in the International Cyprus Music Festival in 2013 with my original song “Leap of Faith” and I was crowned the winner for both Best Original Song and Best Female Singer. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>You also sing in Greek and have performed as one the BBC (British Born Cypriot) Idols with singing duo Martha & Eve - any Greek music aspirations on the horizon?</b></span> I have a few original Greek songs written for me as well as a half English half Greek song that I am in the process of recording. I love singing in Greek as well as French, Spanish and Italian but my heart definitely belongs to English music. Who knows what the future holds…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: yellow;"><b>What is playing on you iPod at the moment?</b></span> At the moment it is primarily Adele but I also love the new singles by Little Mix and Jess Glynne. However, the answer to this question does change every two weeks or so, as I find myself falling in love with different songs. Nevertheless, I forever play Christina Aguilera, Adele and Amy Winehouse on my iPod.</span></div>

It begins with a simple ‘music box’ melody that exudes childlike innocence </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and hope, before being juxtaposed with Parios’ powerfully deep dulcet tones that set </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the song alight. The initial tentative strings lead into soaring drones that add a darkness </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to the piece. It isn’t until more than three minutes in, that the hip-hop beat and </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">scratching kicks in and Stavento does his thing– his rhythmic delivery fitting perfectly in </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the mould of the song rather than overtaking it. Written by Michalis aka Stavento </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">himself, this is an impressive marriage of two very different styles that plays to both </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">artists strengths - a beautiful timeless track that captivates from the first listen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> A lovely perk of the job is getting to see events and shows ahead of their big launch, and I was more than a little excited to get invited to the London preview of the world’s best selling touring magic show The Illusionists – Witness The Impossible! The show, originally a smash hit on Broadway, is now set to dazzle London’s West End! Preview night took place at Café De Paris, a perfect setting for illusion and intrigue with its gothic backdrop and decadent chandeliers. The evening offered a delectable slice of magical fun and an opportunity to get up close and personal with several of the magicians appearing in the main show. I watched performances at the edge of my seat (had I been sitting!). </span><br />

Zenonos was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA 1) when she was
only 8 months old. The parents were utterly devastated and completely uncertain
about the future as SMA is a life limiting condition.</span><span style="background: #141414; color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Laya is
very special as the vast majority of kids with SMA 1 don’t live beyond the age
of 1-2 years. Despite Laya’s condition
and the many, MANY challenges that come with living with SMA, Laya has brought
those around her immense joy. Her brother and sister adore her too. Laya’s
brain is completely unaffected by her condition and so she is very bright,
loves to sing, read, tell stories and chat!
Laya is however profoundly disabled, despite this she was determined to
go to school like her big sister, so she overcame the challenges and with
overwhelming support from the school and her professionals she attends Raglan
Infants School. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">A year ago, her current
wheelchair, Wizzy Bug, gave Laya her first taste of independence but this is a
pre-school wheelchair for toddlers. Laya is almost 5 and a Snap Dragon
wheelchair will completely open up her world and enable her to do so much more!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

will continue to thrive and love life.
This is why we desperately want to raise the money to buy her a Snap
Dragon wheelchair. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Many different fund raisers have been organised in support
of Laya. Each and every event has helped raise money towards the wheelchair and
also brought us all closer to friends as we all strive to attain the same goal.
From a half Marathon being run in May to bake sales, every event has been a
success and will be as we bring this dream a reality. Please help us raise the
money by visiting www.helpinglaya.org and donating even just a small amount
just to give her the opportunity to live life and enjoy it to the full despite
what challenges lie ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you to become a singer-songwriter? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">From as early as I can remember music has been my life. </span><span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;">I've</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> connected with music on so many levels, be it my emotions, personal
experiences or to relax. Whatever is happening daily in my life, music controls
it.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">Where did you train
and do you play any instruments? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">I studied Musical Theatre at college; my main aim was to
develop as a versatile, skilled and confident performer who can approach a wide
variety of musical genres. I then decided I wanted to go on to study Sound
Engineering and Music Production, I wanted to learn what the ‘full lifecycle’
of making music is like. I was exposed to ‘real world’ experiences of a
recording environment; I was able to record, produce and remix artists on course
projects and assignments. This taught me the different techniques associated
with recording bands and musicians and to create professional sounding mixes. I
always say as a singer-songwriter, being able to tell which sounds compliment
my voice is a massive help. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 21.3pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 21.3pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">You moved to England from Cyprus at a very young age; how did this
impact your musical journey?</span> </span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">When I moved to London, I did not know a word of English so
I became obsessed with the voices and lyrics in music. I remember listening to
Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald every night for hours, just trying to find my
own voice. Music made it easier for me to learn the English language. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">In three words how
would you describe your sound?</span> </span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">Soulful, daring & edgy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">Your music has a real
nostalgic sound – who are your biggest music influences? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many musicians have influenced me massively, Michael Jackson is one, his versatility allowed him to experiment with various themes and genres. When people ask me ‘what genre are you’? I always get into a discussion about experimenting with different genres and how I am bringing Rock and Soul influence to modern Hip-Hop. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Amy Winehouse is another; she would mix various genres such as soul, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm and blues. Her musical formation went through listen to jazz divas such as Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan. In a way we are similar musically, you will hear this in my new songs which I am currently working on, they are a fusion of 40s jazz, 60s soul and hard words inspired by daily life. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My biggest musical influence is Erykah Badu, I remember seeing her perform at the O2 in London, and she was singing Didn’t Cha Know. I was only 14, I had never heard, being in my bedroom, someone sing like that live. I remember feeling like I couldn’t move; I could feel every RAW word she sang, I shut my eyes and let her voice hit me. It was incredible. I knew then that I would tell my story just like her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">While pursuing your
music aspirations you are also holding down a full time job – which is the
reality many performers face when they are working towards a career in the
entertainment industry; how do you juggle both?</span> </span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">I’m not going to lie, it’s a
struggle but that’s life. I’m lucky because music gives me a release from work
and my situation means that I never take music for granted. Some people come
home from work and go to the gym or watch TV I come home and make music. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">As well as writing
your own songs you are also very much involved in the production of your
tracks; is this something you like to do solo or do you work with a team? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">As much as I love to be involved, I
also know there is only so much one person can do. I organise my own photo
shoots, videos, interviews and gigs while also sneaking in the time to write
songs. At the moment I am working with some amazing producers; in the studio we
play about with so many different instruments and sounds, to see how they
click. I love being able to get involved in all stages of making a track;
having a say in the mood, style and flow. I feel this makes my music honest.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">There has been a great
emergence of up and coming singer-songwriters – what sets you apart? How do you
feel you stamp your own identity as an artist?</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;"> </span>I feel artists are too scared to
show the ‘REAL’ person, in a way they want to fit in like every other artist.
That is not me; I draw raw emotion that can be felt through my music, it may
not always be sugar coated but that is why most can relate to it.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">What can audiences
expect at one of your gigs?</span> </span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10pt;">My gigs are very intimate to me, I’m not just going to
stand there and sing at you, I want to tell you the story about my songs and
life. I am very open and honest. I am most vulnerable on stage as I open the
door for you to see ‘my world’.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">What’s next for you? Is
an album on the cards this year? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">I record in West Yorkshire and London so you’ll also catch
me gigging around these areas too. There may also be some upcoming festival
performances; you can catch all my updates on my social media pages. I’m always
working on new music. There will be an EP out this year, so watch this space
;). <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">What’s currently
playing on repeat on your Ipod?</span> </span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">At the moment it’s the Weeknd ‘Earned it’ and Sam Smith. If
you ask me the same question in a week and I’ll probably give you a different
answer! I am always listening to Sam Smith – In the lonely hour. This album is
all about unrequited love; it’s about never being loved back. His music really
touches the heart, such emotion and attitude. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">If you could have
written and sung any song, past or present, what would it be any why? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">That’s a difficult one because when
I write it’s a personal thing, so it can be hard to have a personal connection
to somebody else’s song. If I had to choose I would say ‘I Will Always Love You’
- the Whitney Houston version. Whitney transformed this country ballad into a
pop-gospel vibe. Dolly Parton’s original was plaintive and tear stained,
Whitney’s version is gospel-infused and dramatic. The breaking and tensing in
her voice treats the song as a series of emotional bursts. It has so much
emotion; so powerful and in a way it has a haunting beauty - my kind of music.
Even Elvis Presley wanted to cover this song. <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">Has your Cypriot
background influenced your music or work ethic at all? </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">Growing up in a Greek family we always had Greek music
playing; my Yiayia would tell me that back in her youth she was part of a
singing Greek choir and that they sang at festivals. She would tell me all the
mischief they got up to. As for my work ethic I grew up watching my Granddad working
our fish shop for hours. My family came to England to work hard and provide for
their families and that’s been drummed into me from a very young age. I
remember seeing my mum work hard, not only did she hold down a few jobs, she
was a single parent to four of us – seeing this only made me want to work
harder to get what I need. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="color: yellow;">Have you ever
recorded / performed in Greek? Any plans to do so in the future? </span></span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">Living with my Yiayia and Bappou in
Cyprus I was exposed to all the classics from a very young age. Even now, every
time I see my Yiayia she requests that I sing </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Giorgos
Alkaios</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"> ‘Ti Ti’ and </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Notis
Sfakianakis’</span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10.0pt;">‘Soma Mou’. Greek school also
played a massive part in my love for Greek music. I love to keep tabs on
emerging Greek music; it is fascinating to see how the style has changed over
time, even the types of instruments they use. I haven’t performed officially in
Greek, however, one of my ambitions is to record a whole album in my mother
tongue, in my style. ‘Hint Hint’ producers, you know where to find me ;).<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"> Ballads are definitely popular this Spring with many of Greek pop music’s finest opting for a slow jam this season. Giorgos Tsalikis treats fans to a heartfelt love ditty for his latest musical offering. “Pou Einai I Kardia” is a stirring Laiko song in the aftermath of heartbreak. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;">Meanwhile, Elli Kokkinou is happy to take the blame to keep her love near with new single “As Ftaio Panta Ego” – a rock / pop ballad that illustrates the more vulnerable shades of being in love. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;">Nikos Vertis gets a little adventurous with “Oneiro”: predominately a traditional laiko track it surprises with momentary interludes of electro pop and an underlying guitar groove reminiscent of Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You”. Granted on paper it sounds a little odd, but it does actually work! Catch a listen on *Scandalous and make your own mind up.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"> Entertainment icon and two-time Grammy award winner LL COOL J has a new gig – hosting original TV series "Lip Sync Battle". Based on the pop culture phenomenon of lip sync battling, the show pits two celebrities against each other in a head-to-head clash over two rounds, with the audience determining the ultimate winner. The concept of the show is a spin-off of a game that was first introduced by Brit scriptwriter and actor Stephen Merchant (The Office / Hello Ladies) on American chat show “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon”. Fallon then developed it into a game segment on his show. Lip Sync Battle contenders to date include The Rock, John Legend, Jimmy Fallon and Common who all featured in the inaugural episode. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22.4px;"> This week sees Anne Hathaway battle it out with fellow actress Emily Blunt, choosing to take on Miley Cyrus’ chart hit 'Wrecking Ball'. A teaser trailer has surfaced showing Hathaway giving it her all – dressed à la Miley, she wastes no time in getting into the role, even flipping her former Devil Wears Prada co-star the finger as she rides her prop demolition ball. The star-studded, non-scripted show is expected to showcase future appearances from the likes of Justin Bieber, Jennifer Lopez, Anna Kendrick and Meghan Trainer to name but a few! Since “Lip Sync Battle” first aired earlier this month on American TV Channel Spike - the show has gone viral which means we can all share in the fun across the pond by watching online. Good times!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week in Xclusive! </span></h1>
<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> The award winning music duo </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Martha and Eve</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> (formally of Donna and Kebab) are keeping very busy this Autumn; the popular pair have been spearheading a trilogy of events to celebrate the wonderful music genre of “Rembetika”, a style of music that years after it’s inception, still moves, rouses, celebrates, and is undoubtedly interwoven within our very heritage.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fresh from Martha and Eve’s recent successful run of the “Rembetika and Beyond” live shows at London’s Millfield Theatre and the Komedia in Brighton last month, in aid of The Leukaemia Cancer Society (of which they are patrons); an album, tour and cinema screening are all part of their trilogy project showcasing the magic of Rembetiko.</span></span></h1>

<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"> Phase two of the trilogy encompassed the release of “Homage to Roza”; the much-anticipated new album by Martha D Lewis, featuring contemporary remakes of classic rembetiko songs. The album is inspired by the repertoire of iconic Greek-Jewish singer Roza Eskenazi, the ‘Queen of Rembetika’, whose legacy has had a far-reaching influence extending even to the theme tune of Pulp Fiction and continues to influence blues in the States with collaborations taking place today between famous rembetiko musicians and blues and jazz artists. Martha’s new interpretation of Roza’s music provides a stimulating new contribution to the margins and borders of world music. The album, released on Monday 27th October will be taken on tour, premiering at the prestigious London Jazz Festival on 23rd November 2014 at Kings Place London where renowned classic musicians from the jazz and world music scene will join Martha onstage. On the album itself, Martha is accompanied by legendary drummer Jack DeJohnette on the track that’s perhaps rembetiko’s greatest legacy – “Misirlou”. </span></h1>

<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Also known as the “Greek Blues” – rembetiko originated in Smyrna, Turkey, from the 1920s onwards. Like other urban subcultural musical forms – such as the Blues, Fado and Tango – rembetiko grew out of particular urban circumstances and evolved to reflect the harsh realities of marginalized communities at that time, inspired by the experiences of refugees, the unemployed, impoverished and criminal underclass.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Martha’s “Homage to Roza” album follows her involvement with Roy Sher’s award-winning international feature documentary “My Sweet Canary” about the life of Roza Eskenazi. The film follows the exuberant musical journey of three young musicians – Mehtap Demir, Tomer Katz and Martha D Lewis – as they explore the history of rembetiko music and travel to London, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Thessaloniki and Athens, tracing the musical journey that Roza Eskenazi made in her life.</span></h1>
<h1 style="margin-right: -9.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">The UK premiere, in aid of the Leukaemia Cancer Society, takes place this Thursday 6th November. It will be followed by a UK release by Cineworld in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Brighton from 7th November 2014, opening the doors to local communities. Be sure to get yourselves down there and support this great venture!</span></h1>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Like many of the community I was so saddened to hear of the recent passing of LGR radio presenter and actress </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sandra Bilika</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">. The first time I 'met' Sandra was on the airwaves as a shy seven year old listener, calling up to sing 'Roulla Mou Maroulla Mou' for my mum on her name day and she let me sing the whole song live on air – her enthusiasm and encouragement spurring me on. I didn't know then that I'd get to meet the lovely lady herself and one day we'd be colleagues. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">In person she showed the same kindness and generosity of spirit with her time as she always did on the radio; a courageous and charismatic woman that was a mentor to so many of us. Sandra’s generous spirit, talent and passion for her music will always be remembered and cherished – her legacy. </span></h1>

As well as strutting her stuff on stage, the singer is also releasing a new single to mark her comeback. "Mas Teleiose", composed by Christodoulou Siganou, Konstandinou Pantis and Valentinos, is a rousing break-up song full of ummmfh that in no uncertain terms tells Eirini's former love "you're dumped!". Not great news for him, but for us - happy days! Welcome back Eirini!</div>
