Emma Hewitt signed to Armada Music!

Good news for everyone. Australia’s first lady of vocals, the lovely Emma Hewitt, has now been signed to Armada Music! With her enchanting voice she won over thousands of trance souls, working with some of the best artists around to provide the scene a handful of heavyweight anthems.

Emma began her trance adventure in 2007, as she crashed onto the international dance scene as co-writer and featured vocalist on the Chris Lake U.S Billboard #1 (Hot Dance Airplay) smash hit, ‘Carry Me Away’. That’s when Armada Music was firstly introduced to her unmistakable voice, as the track was also featured on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance 2007 compilation. It didn’t take long before she took the dance scene by storm, collaborating with Cosmic Gate, Serge Devant and several other dance giants.

Eventually, in late 2009, Emma ended up working with no one less than Dutch dance sensation Dash Berlin. ‘Waiting’ turned out to be a grand success, not only crowning the global trance charts and being voted as the number one vocal track in that year’s A State of Trance Top 20, but also recently winning the award for ‘Best Hi-NRG/Euro Track’ at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami. Emma is currently touring the globe alongside Dash Berlin, so be sure to keep an eye on their tourdates!

Armada Music is very much looking forward to working with Emma on the release of her debut artist album.

Armin van Buuren awarded with Gouden Harp

Champagne for everyone – cause Armin van Buuren has been distinguished with a Gouden Harp award, the highest distinction a Dutch artist can get! Last night, during the Buma Harpen Gala, the DJ/producer received the important prize.

Candy Dulfer, saxophonist and Gouden Harp-winner of 2008, presented the much wanted oeuvre-prize to Armin. The Gouden Harp (‘Golden Harp’ in English) is an award for music composers and artists that made an extraordinary contribution to Dutch music. Some of the previous winners are Krezip, Within Temptation and Ilse DeLange, artists with who Armin has collaborated with. After the presentation, Armin gave a performance with VanVelzen and Within Tempation lead singer Sharon den Adel, supported by the Metropole Orchestra.

The Gouden Harp, that’s been awarded since 1962, is part of the Buma Harpen Gala. The Gala is an initiative of Buma Cultuur, founded by Buma/Stemra; the institution that takes care of the interests of music authors in the Netherlands. Buma Cultuur plays a big part in the promotion of Dutch music in and outside of The Netherlands.
