There is nobody more awesome than Ann Wilson... and her performing with Nancy is just breathtaking; and Desmond Child - the mastermind behind the 80's hair band sound!

Maria Kizirian is from another world. Born in Finland’s Arctic region and partially raised in middle-America by a rocker, producer, and master guitarist –
Maria is a product of God given talent, early exposure to world class music, and very cold weather.
As far back as she can remember - music represents a driving force in her life. At the age of four, she started taking violin lessons and performing soon
thereafter.
Maria was a stellar violin student from early on. By age ten she was performing with her hometown Symphony, and advancing rapidly. She also learned to play
piano at age 8.
Despite her love of music and classical training, Maria had no idea that she could actually sing until she on a whim took part in a singing competition held
at her Middle School. She was just as shocked as everyone else that she had such a strong voice. She won. This encouraged Maria to start entertaining
dreams of pursuing life as a singer.
The violin began playing second fiddle as Maria started to record demos and meet with record company executives throughout her teen years.
Ultimately, she signed a deal with EMI Music Finland. “Of course I was still green in terms of what it really means to be a recording artist and work hard
for one’s dreams,” Maria says.
During the making of her debut album ‘Once upon a time,’ Maria married an American and returned to the land of her musical roots soon after the release - but
not before having had considerable success with her songs on radio, and her story told all over Finland's popular media.
The move to California was her greatest risk to date - going independent and learning how to navigate her path in one of the most competitive parts of the
entertainment world. She has managed to find hit songwriting mentors, been taught by industry leading producers and engineers, paid her dues performing, and
is now becoming a force in her own right: in the fiercely competitive world of radio, Maria has found a network of nearly 100 stations who have supported her music, also often interviewing her on air.
Her strong vocals and unusually wide vocal range combined with a signature violin sound she has incorporated into her rock/pop music from her classical
violinist childhood make her a producer/songwriter/artist to watch for.
Maria has developed extraordinarily strong ties with her fans, particularly through MySpace. In the process, she has realized that there is a hunger for a
steady flow of new songs: “I kept on hearing, I love your stuff; when are you going to release your next album?"
She has been recording and releasing music as individual singles, to her steadily growing network of radio supporters and fans. Please join Maria's rapidly
growing mailing list - with thousands of music lovers like yourself - and be a part of the joyride!

Hey ladies – do you have a really great guy? If yes, and I HOPE you answered yes, I have just started a new web site where we women can go brag about our guys called hesmorethanaman.com. There is a page to post your story, and also a way to link it to your Facebook or MySpace profiles. Pictures of couples whose stories are on the site may be used in the upcoming music video for the theme song, "More Than a Man." (If you so wish, of course!)
