Boosweet Records CEO and President Vernon Neilly has signed the
international rock guitar virtuoso Kiko Loureiro. Boosweet Records
will release Kiko's products in the USA, Canada, Australia, South and
Central America; with the exception of the guitarists home country
Brazil. The deal provides Boosweet Records all of the digital rights
to Kiko's music internationally.
Kiko Loureiro has risen to international acclaim and stardom by being
the lead guitarist of the world-renown Brazilian rock group Angra.
Currently, he has two solo projects: "No Gravity" and his latest jazz
guitar release "Universo Inverso." In pre-promotion mode, "Universo
Inverso" is already heating up: getting early radio ads, selling well
at online retailers such as Boosweet.com, Amazon.com, Guitarnine.com,
iTunes, and a host of other digital download retailers. "Universo
Inverso" will hit major and independent retail stores here in the US
in July and will be released under Boosweet Records' new deal with
Portland, Oregon-based Burnside.
Vernon Neilly -- himself an award winning recording artist -- is known
for bringing talented artists and musicians to Boosweet, his
independent label. This has been evidenced by his two successful award
winning "G-Fire" releases, of which "G-Fire II" was on the Top Ten
Billboard Retail Charts.
Vernon commented on his signing of Loureiro to his label by saying,
"It is an honor to have my friend and peer Kiko - who is such a
fantastic musician, composer and producer - here at the label. Kiko is
already an international star around the world, and we are going to
make him even a bigger star with his releases in the territories we
control. Kiko is definitely someone who people will want to hear and
see because of his virtuoso technical skills, and great feeling as a
player. You don't have to take my word, just go to his myspace page,
and be prepared to be amazed. He gets tons of hits and comments there
daily."
Kiko Loureiro was recently voted as the #1 progressive/metal player in
the world by reader polls in two of Japans most popular guitar
magazines: Young Guitar and Burrn. He beat out Guitar Gods Steve Vai,
Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, John
Petrucci and a host of others to receive this honor.
