Featured Opportunity - Seeking Songs for Beyoncé's Next Project

http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/1098

Beyoncé is an American R&B and pop recording artist, actress and fashion model. Born and raised in Houston, Texas, she enrolled in various performing arts schools and was first exposed to singing and dancing competitions as a child. Knowles rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of the R&B girl group Destiny's Child, one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time.

During the hiatus of Destiny's Child, Knowles released her debut solo album Dangerously in Love (2003), which spawned the number one hits "Crazy in Love" and "Baby Boy" and became one of the most successful albums of that year, earning her a then record-tying five Grammy Awards. Following the group's disbandment in 2005, Knowles released B'Day in 2006. It debuted at number one on the Billboard charts and included the hits "Déjà Vu", "Irreplaceable" and "Beautiful Liar". Her third solo album I Am... Sasha Fierce, released in November 2008, included the anthemic "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)". The album and its singles earned her six Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy Awards won by a female artist in one night.

Knowles is one of the most honored artists by the Grammys with 16 awards—13 as a solo artist and three as a member of Destiny's Child.

Roster Consideration at Sire Records

http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/842

Sire Records is an American record label, owned by Warner Music Group and distributed through Warner Bros. Records.

The label was founded in 1966 as Sire Productions by Seymour Stein and Richard Gottehrer, each investing ten thousand dollars into the new company. Its early releases as a record label were issued in 1968, distributed by London Records. From the beginning, Sire introduced underground, progressive British bands to the American market. Early releases included the Climax Blues Band, Barclay James Harvest and proto-punks The Deviants.

In the later 1970s, Sire transformed itself into a successful independent record label and went on to sign artists from the burgeoning punk rock and New Wave scenes, including the Ramones, the Dead Boys and Talking Heads. Sire switched distribution to Warner Bros. Records in 1977; in 1978, Warner would acquire Sire Records. During the 1980s, Sire achieved mainstream status after having launched the recording careers of Madonna, its biggest act; Ice-T; Depeche Mode; Echo & the Bunnymen; and The Cure in North America. Into the 1990s, the label had continued success with Seal; k.d. lang; Tommy Page; and Ministry.

I come from a musical family. My mother played guitar and piano and my grandfather was a country/bluegrass guitarist. I started playing acoustic guitar at around the age of 7 and got my first electric guitar at 12. I started my first band in junior high school. I switched to bass at 18 and continued to play for bands. Later in life,I decided to switch to production and engineering. I have worked with countless bands in my area and also world wide via the internet. I am often told that I have a keen ear for music and a divine attention to detail. I am willing to review all types of music. However,I specialize in rock,metal,progressive,jazz and country.
