My full name is Julie Maria Staines.
 
I was born in The London Hospital in Whitechapel on the 13th September 1972 and was brought up in Chadwell Heath in Essex with my Mum and Dad and sister Anne who was six years older than me and wouldn't let me in her room very often.   
My mother, Kathleen, was a fairly strict Catholic so Anne and I did the whole Church on Sunday thing, which was cool because I was massively in love with Josef Costa who was an altar boy and we both went to religious schools: St.Bede’s Primary and Canon Palmer Secondary. As long as I was somewhere near Joe I didn't care.
 
My father, a proper East-end boy was in the motor industry by day and the jazz scene - when us kids were asleep in bed - by night and that's probably where it all began for me. I loved everything about going to gigs with my Dad (when I was occasionally allowed). 
The smell of the beer and the cigarette smoke.  The men all dressed up on Sunday lunchtime in bow ties and suits and the ladies looking glamorous. The complimentary roll mops and roast spuds on the bar. The mic stands, the drum kit, the free drinks. The fact  that everyone in that pub knew my Dad by his first name and he was the star whose picture you could see displayed behind the bar.
 
I guess I knew right then that this is what I wanted for myself. Something about the whole thing truly grabbed me and I was hooked.
 
My Mother, died tragically  when I was only eleven and by now Anne was out working and staying at boyfriends’ houses. This did mean one good thing though: I had my Dad to myself.

Every Sunday we would cruise around London in his Mustang with the top down listening to Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Bing Crosby and it was always the words he made me listen to.  So there it is, set in stone forevermore: my earliest memory of being educated in music and of learning to appreciate the way great singers phrase and tell a story through song. A passion for lyrics was born.

 
Most of the kids in my school left as early as they could and if you lived that close to London you ended up working in the City. So I joined the masses of folk who travel on the underground everyday and spent a lot of life stuck in tunnels trying to read whoever was sitting next to me's newspaper, without them noticing. But of course they always did.

It was around this time that my Dad  had remarried and though I no longer had him to myself  it didn't matter because they gave me a beautiful baby brother who they called Jake, named after Jake's Burgers in Seven Kings. Six years after that a second beautiful boy arrived called Robert and the small family grew and four became six.
 
I worked in a firm of Solicitors in Great Portland Street in the West End as an office junior and generally messed about, smoking in cupboards and laughing all day with a classic girl, Julie who thought I was hilarious, which is handy when you're a bit of a joker like me. We ate curry just about every lunchtime which cost us all of a pound in the Indian Y.M.C.A. and drank tea and stole biscuits for the rest of the time. Work? Not really that much.
 
Needless to say apart from the laughs my heart wasn't truly in it so I legged it out of the 9-5 thing after meeting a German producer who I began a collaboration with. He often nagged me about my constant singing out of tune and made me sing into a guitar tuner to practise. I soon realized that this was not the Lennon/McCartney partnership I was looking for and I joined an all girl rock band called 'Dearjon'.
 
I gained all my experience from that band and had an absolute blast. What a fantastically crazy ride to work with chicks that get to share everything:  bras, lipstick, taste in men, food, beds, cars, fights, pillows, sandwiches, socks, the stage. Mums - of which there were quite a few - wanted to adopt me. Spiritual beliefs, music, books, records,  jumpers, planes, record deals and hot grub before rehearsals from the bass player, Lid's Italian parents who had a chippy in Kinson. 
 
Liddy didn't drive back then but she had no problems getting the rest of us to pick her up before gigs because we all knew that whoever got there first got the pickled wally and hot chips. What a result!
 
We gigged in just about every town in this country for a pittance which we never even saw because the sound guy got that. We toured, we made records, we signed deals, we did T.V. shows. We travelled to different countries, we had fab clothes, we played at Wembley, we did lots of radio roadshows, we worked harder than any other band I've ever known and we were mates. BUT............It wasn't for me. 
 
The band split. Sort of. Me and the Drummer, Tina left and the rest of them went to South Africa taking Lidia with them. She soon came back though and landed herself the job of bass player in Ezio, an outstanding and amazing band, so no complaints from Lid. Meanwhile I hooked up with a local producer Steve Ennever and we wrote a bunch of songs, did some cool gigs - with the help of some mates - and signed a huge recording contract in New York with Columbia Records.
 
Jon Leshay, who now manages Mandy Moore and various other artists, was the man who mentored me throughout. He lent me money he almost certainly never saw again, took me to great restaurants, introduced me to some pretty fantastic people, inspired me to write music when I didn't want to. Believed in me, got my songs used in films and TV, made his home my home every time I was over there and his family made me welcome around their dining table too many times to mention.
Twelve years on and I still send him everything I write because if Jon doesn't like it I know that nobody else will either. He has that wonderful gift which can sniff out the talent and spot a hook and a melody within the first few seconds of hearing it. 

Because I knew so many industry people over there in America I spent a year there on and off. I never had a green card so I had to keep coming back which I never wanted to do. Somehow I still feel that a little piece of me has been left over there under a tree or in a diner somewhere and I could see myself going back one day to live.

British Racing Green was recorded at Sunset Sound and Ocean Way Studios in LA and was mixed in New York. I don’t know if I liked going over there to work or to shop because that was often just as thrilling. (I’m not really into fashion at all but the clothes were cheaper and generally cooler and the make-up in Bloomingdales, well don’t even get me started on that.)

I would come back with bag loads of stuff.

Anyway, Mike Elizondo, producer and co-writer for Eminem and Dr.Dre, was our bass player, Brian McCloud was the drummer and Lyle Workman the guitarist and these guys were some of the best session musicians in the world and between them have worked on so many massive records. I was a very lucky little cockney.

We stayed in a complex in LA built for actors, musicians, film-makers and the like while they’re making movies and albums, so if I wasn’t in the studio, I was sat around the pool with all the stars of tomorrow. Life was tough back then.

The record took three months to make and the Americans seemed to like us Brits.  I felt at home. I remember Green Day spent a fair amount of time in our studio lounge because of all the English tea I made. That was before they trashed their own studio and Tori Amos gave me some very good advice about signing the deal when we met at The Four Seasons. I played her some piano and needless to say she quickly left.

I became friends with some glorious songwriters and musicians and had the time of my life. Was privileged to see some amazing live shows: David Bowie at the Amphitheatre in LA (although we had to leave early because the strobes were literally doing my epileptic mate’s head in) , Johnny Cash at The House Of Blues, Ricki Lee Jones in New York, Michael Stipe - who thought he had been to a party with me earlier that week - Madonna in a diner and I would also try to spy on Brad Pitt who lived down the road from Jon. I often saw Clint Eastwood, who was producing a record in the studio next to ours, and LOVED hearing all the rock and roll stories from the guys we were around.

So, when my album was never released and I had to come back to England with a big thump and had to try to make some money, it was a bit of a blow to say the least and I spent several years sulking.

I stopped writing songs and had my only son, Sid.

Having another mouth to feed put even more pressure on Sid’s father and I to keep money coming in and he was only doing little bits of supply work because he couldn’t get a permanent teaching job in Bournemouth. We were more broke than ever before so I got in touch with a local agent who said she could get me plenty of work in hotels in Bournemouth but that I would need a pianist. She gave me the telephone number of two piano players in the area.

One was a man who, when we spoke on the phone, didn’t exactly float my boat and the other was Esther. 
She answered the phone call and I said ‘ Hi, Michelle gave me your number, I’m looking to put a trio together to go out and get some work, I’m really skint. How old are you?’
She replied 

‘Twelve.’

And that was that! She was the one for me.

We met up a day or two later in my flat to have a kind of run through, to audition each-other sort of thing. She brought her Triton Korg Keyboard along and we began.
 ‘Do you know Ironic by Alanis?’ I asked

 ‘No’ she said.

Do you know, ‘Everyday Is A Winding Road, By Sheryl Crow?’

‘No,’  she said. And that’s how it went on until she said.....

‘Do you know the theme tune to Fame?’ I knew I was in trouble as she thrashed out the tune  so loud she woke the baby who was then only a few months old. 
I sang along but my God we sounded diabolical!

It was the worst audition in history and musically we were chalk and cheese. 
She hated every record in my collection and I wasn’t over keen on hers BUT somehow we both knew that we had to work together and not in hotels but we just had to work together.

We did go out as a duo doing loads of covers and sometimes we enjoyed it and other times we hated it. Sometimes we would literally cry before gigs because one of us wouldn’t want to go in and we’d turn the car around never to be seen again.

Until one day Steve Ennever asked me if I wanted his old piano, the one that used to be resident in Arnie’s Shack Studio, and because I wanted Sid to have piano lessons at some stage we made arrangements to collect it. 

One evening Esther came around to visit. She had been studying song writing at the Brighton Institute Of Music. She had moved to Brighton and I wasn’t seeing much of her at that time. We cracked open a bottle of wine, sat at the piano - having never written a song together before - and wrote ‘Superheroes’.

The start of another unique relationship took shape and Esther and I started writing permanently. It wasn’t easy finding time in between work  and motherhood but where ever possible we would squeeze in a few hours here and there. In time Esther and I had co-written a whole catalogue of songs and formed a solid and wonderful friendship for life.

She even comes on holiday with us because she can’t bear to miss out on anything fun that I’m doing.

With the help of Alan ’Big Al’ Hill at Sonic Studios in Poole our demos have been recorded and ready to be played to the world. 

So if Leona Lewis fancies recording one, can someone please let us know or if Bruce Willis is looking for a theme tune to the next big movie or if you want to see us play on your stage then get in touch. We write them, we play them, we love them. We do whatever comes next.

It’s been a tough, fun,  crazy, hard and relentless journey at times but we’re ready and up for arriving at our next destination!

Pete Farmer is a one man party, whose sole mission is to get you to dance. Are you ready?

By Inti J.

Born in the UK, Pete Farmer fell in love with music and the art of playing it for the masses before some of us even learned how to ride a bike. For the record, if you learned anytime after your 7th birthday, you were a late starter compared to Farmer. Farmer took to DJing hard and set his sights on becoming the best one he could be and he has never looked back.

Like many before him, Farmer started on the equipment that was available to him, which in his case was a neighborhood kids fathers pirate radio set up consisting of a few mics, a belt driven turntable. He eventually managed to hack his own pirate radio station, all before he was 10 years of age. A few years later he discovered the sounds of House music coming from America and it was then that his future became crystal clear.

Farmer hustled hard spinning at local parties and bars, making mixtapes and whatever he could on his way to his first big opportunity. It finally came when he scored his first residency at a spot called East Coast Rock Cafe. That was just the beginning for Farmer and he has kept moving up spinning at bigger and bigger clubs throughout his now 15-plus year career. Farmer not only has established himself as a go to guy in clubs all over Europe by spinning not only House, but the entire spectrum of Electronic music, but he has taken his energy to Egypt, where he has been living for the last six years.

Farmer has spun records and crowds into a frenzy all over Egyptian cities such as Cairo, Dahab, Sharm El Sheikh, and others in hotspots with names such as 'Sintillate' at Pacha, The Hard Rock Cafe, Club USSR, MDM, Mojo, Tavern Bar, Kamanga, Terrazzina Beach, Pangaea, Calypso, Rush, and many, many more.

With all that Farmer has accomplished, he's also found time to remain heavily involved in that which first peaked his interest in music in the first place, radio. You can hear Farmer on the pirate radio stations of our day, Internet radio. Tune into Farmer on his weekly RedSeaDanceRadio.com station and check what he's spinning all the way across the globe, and you don't need a massive antenna to tune in.

ELISSA—Biography and Career

Elissa was born in Deir Al-Ahmar and raised in Bekaa Valley, a land known for its fertile landscape and infamous history.
At the tender age of 10, Elissa began participating in social events and had a role in the kids' festival at Mont la Salle, which was hosted by Sandy Oshakji. As she grew up, her passion developed and she grew more and more involved in the art scene by acting in theater plays, namely with well-known songwriter Wassim Tabbara and later, with the "Théâtre de 10 Heures". Having studied Political Science at the Lebanese University, she had a natural knack for her first play's tendency for political critique, and her talent, though in its infancy, left a lasting impressing on that initial audience. 
Her theatrical beginnings opened way for her to experiment with other modes of expression and soon found herself singing in front of audiences. In 1992, she participated and won a Silver Medal in "Studio Al Fan". The show was broadcasted on LBCI, one of the most renowned TV stations in the Middle East. Following this gentle, yet encouraging success, Elissa began performing in concerts, driven by her tireless determination until 1999, when Lido Productions released her first album, "Baddy Doub", distributed by EMI. Elissa’s debut on the commercial music scene was an event of considerable significance. The album was a success, and featured a smash hit with famous French gypsy artist, Gerard Ferrer. The release of "Baddy Doub" brought the musical talent straight to Cannes, where she participated in the International Music Festival of 2000. 
Following her success at the International Music Festival, Elissa released her second album, "We Akhertha Maak", which included the immense hit duet, "Betghib Betrouh", sung with Lebanese superstar Ragheb Alama. The emerging singer’s third album, "Ayshalak", was also quite successful and its musical quality was considered a big leap forward in her music career. In the making of "Ayshalak", Elissa took advantage of the significant momentum gained during her previous two albums and managed to surpass expectations at an amazing rate. The video clip of the album’s hit single and namesake was filmed in Paris, directed by acclaimed French director Fabrice Begotti. Elissa was officially dressed and made up by Christian Dior Paris for the video, marking the first time Dior collaborated with an Arabic artist. 
Hot on the heels of the well-received third album, Elissa continued her fiery path and sent shock waves through the music scene when she teamed up with the world-famous Irish singer Chris De Burgh. The collaboration of these two talents resulted in the historic duet, "Lebanese Nights". The hit song was included on De Burgh’s 2002 album, "Time is Everything". 
2002 brought Elissa more consecration as she was awarded with the Murex d'Or award for Best Female Artist. And her, "Ajmal Ihsas" clip won the best video clip at the Arabic Music Awards, which took place in Dubai. To top off an outstandingly successful and memorable year, Elissa was also included in the anthology book, "100 Pioneers of Lebanon". The singer was celebrated alongside artists such as Fairuz, Wadih El-Safi, and many other celebrities who have left their everlasting mark on the Lebanese cultural, political and social landscape.

Elissa’s fourth album, "Ahla Donia", recorded with Super Audio System, was released in May 2004. It broke record sales around the Middle East and the beloved artist won the World Music Award for Best Selling Middle East Artist. As a result, Elissa was recognized as the first Lebanese to win the award and went on to win the Murex d’Or for not only Best Lebanese Singer, but also Best Video Clip for her hit song, "Hobak Wajaa". 
At the time, the technique of using Super Audio was the latest innovation in sound technology and it was the first time a Middle Eastern artist used such superior sound technology. Artists who had previously relied on the Super Audio System included: Sting, Andrea Bocelli and Pink Floyd. 
Elissa’s fifth album, "Bastanak", confirmed her status as one of the best female musicians emerging from the Middle East as she reined in yet another World Music Award for Best Selling Middle East Artist. International photographer Mathias Clamer, who also worked on Elissa’s previous album, did the CD’s photo-shoot.
Elissa’s sixth and seventh albums, "Ayami Beek" (December 20, 2007), which reached number one for more than three months and remains in the charts today, and "Tesadaa Bemeen" (December 26, 2009), continued the singer’s success and officially marked her as an unforgettable idol in prominent music history. 
Nearly two weeks after "Tesadaa Bemeen’s" release, the album immediately became the best selling album in the history of Rotana, as well as the most successful in Elissa’s career. The widely well-received album skyrocketed to the number one spot as it sold record quantities in Lebanon, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and the rest of the Middle East. 
"Tesadaa Bemeen" was Elissa’s album that received the most awards and compensation. In the eyes of her fans and the music industry, Elissa’s new release was far from disappointing, and reached the number one spot in France’s largest music store, Fnac, in the Musique du Monde section. Elissa received her third World Music Award Big Apple Award, Jordan Music Award, Middle East Music Award and many others for "Tesadaa Bemeen".
"Tesadaa Bemeen" includes thirteen songs between Lebanese and Egyptian dialects created from Elissa’s numerous collaborations with a handful of renowned writers, composers and music arrangers. For the album’s glamorous artwork, international photographer Matthias Clamer photographed Elissa on location at Pena National Palace in Sintra, Portugal. 
The singer has surpassed expectations and risen above the rest of her generation’s talented celebrities, achieving full-fledged star-status. Elissa is more than just a shooting star; she’s a monumental icon whose mark on the Lebanese, Middle Eastern and international commercial music scene will undoubtedly push boundaries and stand the test of time. 
Elissa is passionate about her work and remains truly inspired by her audience. This everlasting passion shines through in her many notable events. Since the first album, "Baddy Doub", which was released in 1999 and brought her considerable success and a spot in the International Music Festival of Cannes in 2000, Elissa has been ever-gradually rising to the top.
In 2001, she took part in Jordan’s "Fiesta Latina". She also performed at the great pyramids of Egypt with British luminary Sting. Additionally, she was the only Arabic artist to perform in front of former United States President Bill Clinton at the Stars Charity show in Dubai. She was among global idols like Queen Rania of Jordan and the Crown Prince of Dubai Sheikh Mohamed Bin Rachid El Maktoum.
In 2002, Elissa took the local music scene by storm when she sang with world-famous Irish singer Chris De Burgh. Their smash hit duet, "Lebanese Night" was written by De Burgh during a trip to Lebanon two years previous. The Irish wunderkind was inspired to write the song when he spent a starry evening dining at the famous restaurant Abdel Wahab. De Burgh chose Elissa as a partner to perform the magical song with him. The song was recorded and produced by Chris Porter, the legend responsible for a multitude of hits by international artists such as George Michael and Robbie Williams. 
That year brought substantial success for Elissa, as she went on to win the Murex d’Or award for Best Female Artist. And without fail, 2002 ended just as prominently as it started when Elissa was called upon to inaugurate the opening of Kuwait’s Virgin Megastore with Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the famous stores. The opening of Virgin-Cairo followed the prestigious event in Kuwait. Her clip, "Ajmal Ihsas" won an Arabic Music Award for Best Video Clip in Dubai and Elissa’s long-winded, successful run continued into 2003, when she signed a deal with Pepsi.
The contract with Pepsi, a soda drink close to the singer’s heart, made Elissa the official female star for Pepsi in the Arab world. She filmed the advertisement for Pepsi X in Spain and in 2004 the singer filmed the regular Pepsi commercial advertisement in Rome with world-renowned director Roger Spottiswood. Subsequently, the Lebanese starlet shot two advertisements with American pop star Christina Aguilera for Pepsi for the World Football Cup and Downloaded. Both advertisements were shot in Los Angeles with prominent director Tarsem Singh. 
In September 2003, Elissa was commissioned for a performance at the Hope Charity gala, which took place in the Royal Albert Hall, one of London 's most prestigious venues. Other artists that performed that night included Spanish dancer and choreographer Joaquin Cortes, Italian singer Zucchero, and British pop singer Sarah Brightman, making Elissa the sole representative of the Middle East. Further projects in 2004 included the Ray Ban campaign, while from 2005 to 2006 Elissa took on the Corum campaign, the LUX and then Vogue sunglasses. Elissa remains Ambassadress for Corum till today.
In 2005, Elissa received the World Music Awards for the sales of her unforgettable "Ahla Dounia" album for Best Selling Artist from the Middle East. The star-studded ceremony took place in Hollywood’s exalted Kodak Theater with the presence of notorious music icons including: Beyonce, Maria Carey, Usher, Santana, Bon Jovi and many others.

In December of 2005, Elissa received the Murex d’Or for Best Lebanese Artist and Best Video Clip for her hit classic, "Hobak Wajaa".
On November 15, 2006, Elissa received the World Music Awards for the second year in a row for the sales of her "Bastanak" album. The ceremony took place in London’s Earls Court. Elissa was in the company of Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, Beyonce, Andrea Bocelli and many other recognizable talents.
The Lebanese Music syndicate honored Elissa for her musical achievements and for being the first Lebanese artist to receive the World Music Awards two times running.
Elissa was also the ambassadress for the World Gold Council in collaboration with L’Azurde, effectively putting a beautiful image with one of the world’s most desirable metals
Subsequently, Elissa was chosen by French company Georges Stahl to create her own perfume in 2007. The fragrance "Elle d’Elissa" was created, marking yet again another first: The first international perfume for an Arab artist. Elissa’s first perfume was followed by a second essence, "L’Eau d’Elissa".
On August 9, 2007 she performed at the prestigious Sporting Club in Monaco. While in 2008, Elissa became the ambassadress for Samsung Mobiles.
In 2008, the singer was included in Arabian Business Magazine’s 100 Most Powerful Arab Business Women list, for the second consecutive year. She was also part of the 500 of World's Most Influential Arabs list. 
Since then, Elissa has created a very powerful image for herself forcing a place for her in the spotlight. The artist is also endlessly desired and sought for by all prestigious brands.
Elissa received her third World Music Awards in Monaco on May 23, 2010 for her album "Tesadaa Bemeen" for Best Selling Artist from the Middle East.
In June 2010, Elissa received her third Murex d’Or as Best Lebanese Female Artist.

In March 2011, Elissa became a goodwill Ambassador for IMSAM, an intergovernmental organization under the United Nations based at U.N Headquarters in New York. She resigned in 2012.
Esquire Magazine named Elissa "Woman We Love" in 2011. It was an important moment as it was the first time Esquire had chosen Elissa out of their Middle East line-up.
To top off all these achievements, she was voted in the Arabian Business Magazine as one of the 100 Most Powerful Arab Business Women in 2012 and the 500 Most Influential Arabs.
