'New Update'
 

Dramatico are pleased to announce the signing of 2 new artistes:


Andrea McEwanAndrea McEwan is a songwriter, singer, musician and actress. She completed a Bachelor of Dramatic Art at N.I.D.A. – Australia’s premier drama institute, and then worked extensively in theatre and television in Australia. In 2006, after moving to the UK, she was signed to Dramatico Entertainment as a songwriter when a demo of her songs found its way into the hands of Mike Batt. Early in 2007, she collaborated with Katie Melua on some songs for her then upcoming album. Out of their successful sessions came two tracks, “What I Miss About You” and “Dirty Dice”, which appear on the album “Pictures”. Andrea is currently working on her own album which will be released by Dramatico later this year.

Batt says: “There is a strong, womanly thread to Andrea’s lyrics, and her tunes and voice lend her work something of a Joni Mitchell quality”.

Florence Rawlings

Dramatico signed Florence Rawlings to a 5 album record deal, 6 years after she first contacted Mike Batt at the age of 13!

"She had a phenomenal voice even way back then," says Batt, "but it did not seem sensible for her to be recording until she had developed and finished her education. In the same week, I had just met Katie Melua, and it was she who I signed on that occasion, but I always remembered Florence, and kept checking her out every couple of years, asking her Mum to bring her in and sing stuff. A few months ago it just seemed that she was ready and so we are planning an album to be recorded soon. The album will be recorded in an unusual way compared to most albums these days. We will perform each track with live rhythm section, horns and backing vocals, to get a really authentic "soul" atmosphere. Florence's voice and musical leanings are well suited to a raw soul-based approach. We may even televise the sessions live as they happen. More on this as our plans develop.

Voices In The Dark

We are also pleased to announce the Hamburg premiere of Mike Batt's 'Voices In The Dark'.
An audio visual experience at the Planetarium brings to life the music of Mike Batt. This production will tour other Planetariums throughout the world. It combines Mike's music with spectacular and innovative computer graphic animations. Visit the German website here (An English language site is currently being developed).
