FEATURE ARTIST
This week our feature artist is Manuela! Being half Kenyan and Swiss and having lived on three different continents and in four different countries with multiple self-released EP’s, Manuela is now calling Edmonton, Alberta, Canada home - at least for now. In February 2010 she released her first full-length album “A Different Kind of Fire,” on her own Independent label, Golden Recordings and followed this release with a Western Canadian tour to the 2010 Winter Olympics. Manuela took on the Executive Producer role for this album. Not only was she able to secure private funding but she also oversaw every aspect of it from the music production to the artwork to the manufacturing and distribution. She was even successful in securing valuable sponsorship for her Western Canadian tour from Budget Rentals, and Accent Inn Hotels in British Columbia.
With the support of Alberta Music, Urban Music Association of Canada, CBC Radio, CKUA, CJSR and Ourstage.com, Manuela is broadening her fan base one song at a time. After almost 15,000 plays on Ourstage.com her single “Circling Numbers” was voted on by thousands of listeners and placed Manuela fourth, regionally, in the recent Ourstage.com Lilith Fair Contest, in which Sarah McLachlan and her team reviewed each of the Top twenty ranked entries. Manuela is also emerging out to be one of the top Pop artists on Ourstage.com having spent 30 weeks on the BEST OF POP chart, peaking at number 15 and falling back to as low as number 32. We featured Manuela's song off her The Love EP called Little Suzie.
