   About Malea McGuinness
"Sweet Light" currently 3 on National AC Radio Chart and being played on MTV ASIA

"Powerful vocal presence....left the audience literally yelling for more" Music Connection

2007 AAM Female Vocalist of the Year

Born from life’s joy’s, trials, tribulations and a genuine authenticity that’s been missing from mainstream music comes the experience of Malea McGuinness’ debut album True Believer. Combining sweet guitar licks, soft beds of piano, and Malea’s clear, gorgeous vocal’s True Believer channels the great rock melodies of the 70’s, while her self penned lyrics offer up a poetic look at modern day life - almost like flipping through the chapters of a novel in between tracks.

“I wanted to write about experiences that had shaped me and my life,” says Malea.

The journey Malea had to make to get here absolutely warrants an album, if not a biography. Having been born in Fort Hood, Texas, she moved to New York to live with her grandparents at the age of 6. She credits her high school music teacher with getting her involved in music and encouraging her to sing. She went on scholarship to the famed Tanglewood Summer Music program, and then on to the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, all the while studying at William Esper and with Ron Stetson of the Neighborhood Playhouse. Malea then landed a lead in The King and I on Broadway, while continuing to be featured on television(over 20 national commercials)modeling, and film, all the while working on finishing her degree.

Having such an impressive vocal range and lyrics based on her life in tow, Malea moved to Los Angeles and enlisted the help of producer Scott Hackwith (Iggy Pop, The Ramones) to work on her debut album. The first single off of the album – Deeper – reached 16 on the National AC Radio Chart. Deeper captures the emotions of hope and love, set behind a catchy melody and Malea’s soulful voice catching listeners at every hook.

"I have always been a fan of 60s and 70s rock like The Beatles, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac and Bread," says Malea. I never get tired of listening to these great songs, and my love for this music definitely influenced how I wrote True Believer.

The second single – Sweet Light - has been climbing the national radio rotation list since it's inception on the charts and currently sits at 3 in the top 20 most played songs in the nation. This song was influenced by Malea’s experience of having a father who was a Green Beret, a grandfather who fought in Iwo Jima, and a response to the men and women fighting in Iraq today. With instantly catchy guitar chords and haunting lyrics, Sweet Light is a perfect example of a track highlighting all of Malea’s inherent talents and musical passion.

Sweet Light will be the first music video off of True Believer to hit networks.

In promotion of her album, Malea currently tours throughout the United States with her 7 piece band. She has played clubs and festivals throughout the nation – including the largest outdoor music festival in world, Summerfest, where she was the first Korean- American lead singer to take the stage throughout the festival’s 40 year history. Based in Los Angeles, her fan base follows her to such hot spots as the Viper Room, the Key Club, and Knitting Factory to watch her perform.

“No matter what has come into my life I have been able to survive because of my love for music,” says Malea. “Music has always, and will always, continue to make everything better for me. It’s a great universal connection no matter where you go.”

CountryHome Forum, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , is one of the biggest Forum for country music in Europe and part of CountryHome, www.countryhome.de , Germany's Premier Online Country Music Magazine.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.

Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.

Thanks

Strange day. After watching a documentary about streakers suffering from over exposure, I took a nap. It was a short one. I woke up a midget. At first I was freaking out, jumping around, trying to reach the wall phone. It tired me out. So I sat on a foot stool and placed my face in my hands wondering why this had happened to me. In the middle of self-pitying I started noticing how much fun it was to kick and swing my feet. I was smiling again, and found myself running through the house at full speed... wrestling with my now giant puppy. Oh, the joy! I hadn't had so much fun in years! We laughed and played and laughed until we both fell asleep exhausted on the living room floor. Then I woke up and ruined the whole damned thing.

So, how was your day?
