****ZOLO****
FROM TORONTO
Born in the UK, raised in NYC and now residing Toronto, Dance/Pop Artist Zolo has always felt most at ease in front of a crowd.
Inspired by the work of influential artists like MGMT, Swedish House Mafia and Thunderheist, Zolo quickly established a reputation for himself as the go-to DJ on the Dance/Pop scene. After sampling tracks by superstars like The Black Eyed Peas & LMFAO, Zolo received numerous requests from his growing fan base to release some of his own material, and so he went to work in the studio. The result was the electro-funk party anthem “Club Is Bumping,” an immediate success on the charts, landing Zolo #1 for MySpace downloads and cementing his status as an artist worthy of all the buzz.

Akanishi’s debut U.S. album will showcase his unique talents as a singer, songwriter and producer. Songs written and produced by Jin will also be interwoven in the album. This has been a new beginning for Akanishi, a seasoned superstar in much of Asia, starting from his widely successful debut single to an upcoming release of another anticipated hit single, “Sun Burns Down,” and now the official announcement of his debut U.S. album, “JAPONICANA.” An avant-garde collaboration on the album with original MC & rapper, Prophet, who currently has a deal with mega producer, RedOne, is just one of the new sounds Jin will be showing the world. “This album has songs from all different genres,” states Akanishi, “I feel like this album has no boundaries, since you can’t really put all the tracks into one genre. It’s a collection of music and sounds that I love. The name of the album is a coinage of all the places that greatly influence me – Japan, America & Spain. I hope my fans will enjoy it.”
About Warner Bros. Records
Warner Bros. Records is one of the most successful recording companies in music history and home to some of the most influential and innovative artists of our time. Its reputation and extraordinary roster of new and established recording artists is unparalleled, and its collective influence on pop culture is without precedent. In 2007, Warner Bros. was ranked the No. 1 record label in the U.S. as measured by Total Album share and has been ranked one of the country's top three labels every year since 2003.
Warner Bros. Records was founded 50 years ago by Jack Warner, the last of the original pioneering Warner brothers, as an offshoot of Warner Bros. Studios, which, 32 years earlier, had introduced its Vitaphone sound-on-disc system for feature films. The acquisition of Frank Sinatra's Reprise label in 1963 catapulted the company into one of the most dynamic organizations in popular music and throughout the next five decades built a family of labels that today represent a full spectrum of musical genres
