   About Honest Touch

Discover a new way to inspire your mind and soul - music that offers a unique sensation to its listeners.

The music of Honest Touch fuses the aesthetics of Pop and Classical, creating a cinematic and emotional musical approach a crossroads of Piano music, New Age Pop and Orchestral music.

Honest Touch is a project rather than a traditional band formed by Fofi Maniadaki and Samy Elgazzar and based in Athens, Greece. The project is backed by a seven-piece band, the Amadeus Orchestra (in some songs the Philarmonia Bulgarica) and the Fons Musicalis Choir. The project plays instrumental music composed and arranged by Samy, with Fofi as piano soloist.

Mastering engineer Vlado Meller (Sony Music Studios) who is credited for albums by Barbara Streisand, Prince, Celine Dion to name but a few, put his sonic expertise in the debut album Memories From A Dream. In 2005, the album was released on Polytropon Records and distributed by Universal Music.

A producer from Taxi.com, the world's leading independent A&R company, made the following critique:"the music is top quality as well as the production..."
You are invited to visit the official web site to listen to the music samples and learn more about the project. In the online store you may order your copy of the debut album and receive a 30% discount when you order piano sheet music. Feel free to contact Fofi and Samy; your comment and feedback are immensely welcomed.

Testimonials:

"We compete in the Film and TV music arena everyday with major publishing companies, and we feel like we have experience to evaluate a song's potential. Yours went beyond potential. It is a winner."

Songwriter, producer, publisher, Janet Fisher,
Goodnight Kiss Music, CA

"Your album was quite honestly one of the most magnificent things I’ve heard in a very long time..."

Did you guys get to work some more on your music? I've been too busy lately!! I missed you guys!! It must be nice to achieve your dreams and work on music!! Did you guys plan on being musicians when you were younger? Or did you plan on another occupation? God bless you guys!! Good luck with your music!!
