Brian Anthony Works It Out

Brian Anthony's latest single, "Worked Up!" is currently #9 on the Billboard Club Play Chart and this is what Brian Anthony is getting everybody worked up about...

Perry Twins: Things seem to be really moving in your world since we last hung out at the Reality Cares event this summer. Your new single "Worked Up!" is doing extremely well in the UK, with the song having a second life on the club charts after originally peaking at number 8. How does lightning strike twice?

Brian Anthony: Lots of hard work, I guess. Luck, too. I'm very grateful for the attention the project has garnered.The KINKY ROLAND REMIXES are up now at the MUSIC WEEK UPFRONT CHART. I am goingto bundle them on iTunes as ALBUM ONLY CUTS when you purchase my new charity Christmas song,"One Wish (This Christmas Time)".

PT: We love Christmas tunes. Tell us more about it!

BA: I basically wrote the song awhile back and it's about the war, the state of the world, this time of struggle and change. I was and am concerned about where the world was going and how we've ultimately gotten ourselves into so much trouble - the world is in bad shape, literally, figuratively, spiritually. It's just my small contribution to put out a positive energy in the universe to kind of tug at people's heart strings and make people count their blessings, reach inside to reach out to others despite our differences, and to try to focus on undoing the damage that's been created and working our way back to a WORLD where tolerance, peace, hope, and unity can connect the all of us and bring us to a more positive planet. It's always been my intention to use my music to help others, raise consciousness, and inspire greatness in others. And this year, with the recession, the war, job loss, and families effected by the war who are missing their loved ones - is as good as a time as any to contribute in a positive way. The chorus says it all..."CHORUS:If I had ONE WISH (This Christmas Time)All the world would feel the light of loveAnd reach deep down insideTo reach out, let goodness winTo feel the joy and peace withinThat's my ONE WISH (This Christmas Time)"

PT: Beautiful! Which charities will this song be supporting?

BA: This song will raise money for the following chariities:THE ONE CAMPAIGNTHE (RED) CAMPAIGNTHE AMERICAN RED CROSSHope everyone goes online and downloads.Jeff Timmons from 98 degrees is lending his talent to the song and I am featuring him on both mixes.It's really cool that you're raising money for those great charities and working with Jeff Timmons. Will there be some hot Christmas dance remixes coming out?Just the pop/rnb version of the Ballad of "ONE WISH (This Christmas Time)". But you guys are welcome to do a "CHILLAX" mix of it for me if you want!

PT: You have a great remix package for "Worked Up!" and it got even better with the newly added Kinky Roland mix. How did you decide on remixers?

BA: They were suggested to
me by my team in the UK. I checked them out and basically started doing back flips because their productions were amazing and I knew they were the right fit for the project. So talented.

PT: How have you managed to work your music to Europe and the US so well simultaneously?

BA: Once again, lots of hard work. I have a great team in place. I could never do any of this without their belief in me and their support. Also, the support of the dance community and the fans for spreading awareness of the single and remixes. Without them, none of thesuccess I'm seeing could ever be possible. THANKS EVERYONE!
The music video for "Worked Up!" is pretty impressive with lots of fun dance moves.


PT: We spy the lovely Natalie Reid, plus DJ Colleen Shannon and DJ Dimitri Hamlin in the mix. What was it like pulling everything together?


BA: Very intense. Very exciting. Lots for me was very new. I basically co-directed and even jumped into the production aspect of the project as well.I learned a lot.


PT: Awesome! Where can fans catch your video?

BA: All over the world. Gyms, Bars, Clubs, Restaurants, stores like Abercombie & Fitch, television broadcast, video channels, you name it...

PT: And where can your music be purchased?

BA: iTunes...really is the best place to go.But I'm online at over 200 stores like Rhapsody, Napster, Starbucks, HearMusic, eMusic, BEST BUY, CDbaby.com, you name it...Thanks you guys for interviewing me. You RULE! Respect,B-dog

A Winning Combination

Win Marcinak teamed up with Gioia Bruno to create a very cool and creative track combining Kiss & Tell with Dirty Cash and now Win is ready to kiss and tell about it all...

Perry Twins: How did you first get involved with the music industry?

Win Marcinak: I used to dance professionally with the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Ballet. We would go on tour and everyone would encourage me to sing on the long bus rides across the country. I was much shyer then about my voice, but I did love to sing and really tell a story through song. My friends were always telling me I should pursue a recording career. And so, I eventually gave in to my dream!

PT : Who are your musical influences?

WM: My influences are Roxie Music - of course, Andy Bell, George Michael, Aretha Franklin to name a few… I love all the great musician storytellers.

PT: What is it about Bryan Ferry's "Kiss & Tell" that inspired you to reinvent the song in your own unique way?

WM: I have always loved Kiss & Tell as a song. It was one of those Bryan Ferry classics that I always just start singing when I’m in a great mood. It has a smooth sensuality that I connect with on a lot of different levels. There is a legion of us Roxie Music fans out there and I wanted to really pay tribute to them.

PT: How did you come up with the idea to add Gioia Bruno singing “Dirty Cash Money Talks” to some of the remixes?

WM: Well, it was during our remixing phase that my publicist Jim Strzalkowski and I came up with the “out of the box” or “off the wall” idea. Whichever you prefer. I wanted to shake things u p with the remix package and make each remix standout and stand on its own. Gioia, an amazing talent, was already doing backgrounds for me and the lyric connection between the two songs is so strikingly coincidental. It’s almost like a scene out of a movie musical with the two characters going back and forth. It really became almost a societal commentary mash-up when the remixes were finished. We really don’t want to call them mash-ups because both songs were completely resung and not sampled from the originals. So, we prefer the term “Collision Mix” when talking about this remix package. And, with everything going on with the economy today, I think the subject matter of the two songs is so relevant. I am sure the fat cats on Wall Street will really identify with the tracks. Maybe CNN or Suze Orman would like to license the Perry Twins Collision Mix? J

PT: What do you hope to achieve with your career in the near future?

WM: I am actually gearing up to begin working on some new tracks and piecing together a full-length album. I’ll include some rare remixes of my previous club hits like “Too Shy” and “In My Heart” but will also give some new stuff too. The European market seems to suit my style so I’ll be doing more deals overseas. I also hope to keep performing at clubs internationally! At the same time, I am shopping my original songs to TV and Film and have been having some great response with the children’s songs I’ve written. It’s all fun!
