July 2007

We have entered into an exclusive Co-Publishing Agreement with Implant Productions (Evan McCulloch and Ryan Stokes). Evan and Ryan began producing and creating music shortly after they met and instantly noticed they worked well together After graduating from S.U.N.Y. Purchase, and surviving a fire, which nearly destroyed all of their equipment, they relocated to the Bronx and began working with local artists. Somewhere in the madness of the fire and moving, they managed to place a song with the latin pop sensation, RBD. Ryan and Evan are both well versed in many styles and genres of music. Their influences include Hip Hop, Salsa, Jazz, Rock, Classical, R&B, Pop, and Middle Eastern. Collectively, they play drums, guitar, trumpet, piano, bass, trombone, and percussion. Implant Productions is dedicated to growing musically, and continually explores new sounds and styles. They intend to use their talent and inspiration to create exciting, meaningful, and lasting music. Their ASCAP companies, Real Feel and Evan V, Productions will be Co-Published by us throughout the World via our Roynet Music (Ascap) catalog.

Colleen Fitzpatrick (p/k/a Vitamin C) has signed an exclusive Administration Agreement for her Blanc E Music catalog. The onetime Colleen Fitzpatrick was lead singer of the punk-pop band Eve's Plum first, and then made the switch to explicitly teen-oriented dance-pop when that band broke up. In 1991, she and guitarist Michael Kotch met while attending New York University and formed Eve's Plum together; after around a year, they landed a deal with Sony and wound up releasing two albums, 1993's Envy and 1995's Cherry Alive. Fitzpatrick subsequently left for a solo career, also taking on acting roles in The Naked Gun 2 1/2, Liar Liar, The Mambo Kings, Dracula 2000, and Get Over It. Fitzpatrick refashioned herself as a dance-pop singer and scored a deal with Elektra in 1998. Her debut album, Vitamin C, was released in late summer 1999 and it produced two hits in "Smile" (which featured Jamaican dancehall toaster Lady Saw) and "Me, Myself and I." Vitamin C really took off, though, with the impeccably timed release of the third single, "Graduation (Friends Forever)," the most blatantly teen-aimed song on the record. "Graduation (Friends Forever)" became a huge hit in the spring of 2000, hitting the Top Ten and helping push Vitamin C into platinum-sales territory. Vitamin C licensed everything from her own doll to a shade of lipstick matching her signature orange hair. The second Vitamin C album, ‘More’, contained the hits "The Itch" and "As Long as You're Loving Me”. We’re pleased to be handling Vitamin C’s material.
