Alek Vila has partnered with producer Peter Fosso to record a new album more than ten years after the release of his self-produced debut album Love in Color. His new work follows a period of musical study and re-invention as well as a move down under and back again. Alek meets the microphone in a collaborative work with Mr. Fosso after refining his gift for songwriting with a conscious touch and thoughtful lyrics to create an inviting combination of musical eloquence and raw fun. The record is slated for release in 2010.
Peter is a record producer and music visionary. He owned and operated Insight Records where he discovered a number of Northwest artists and went on to release several compilations – most notably, Seattle Women In Rock, which garnered reviews in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly. His band’s self-titled debut, Life Like Feel, achieved national distribution and radio airplay on 180 stations. Peter launched one of the early music websites, NetMusic.com, is the Managing Director for Music2Deal.com (the international networking site for the music industry), and is the Founder/President of Global Music Project, the non-profit organization whose mission is to unite humanity through music.
The producer/writer team is now selecting musicians for the album project (drummers, bassists, string players, percussionists). Inquiries should be directed through our label contact form.
