More than ten years after the release of his self-produced debut album Love in Color, Alek Vila is breaking ground on a new album. This follows a long period of musical study and re-invention including as well as a move from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia and up to Seattle. Alek returns to the studio in a collaborative work with Producer Peter 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.
Peter owns and operates Insight Records where he has 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 writer/producer team are now selecting musicians for the album project (drummers, bassists, string players, percussionists). Inquiries should be sent through our contact page.
