Any plans for tomorrow?

   Thursday, 26th May, Eleven Events is proud to present the event "Through the Eyes of a Child" in collboration with ROC and Brotherhood4Real. As you could see until now we wanted to introduce you to the artists who are going to perform tomorrow evening. Since there is only one day left until the event today is the perfect day to introduce you to Gino!

    Gino Cochise van Ligten (02 October 1990) was born in a very musical family, with his parents Julya Lo’’ko (professional singer) and Erwin van Ligten (professional guitarist). At the age of five Gino started playing the drums with more than passion.
   As Gino got older he got more experienced within music and broadened his talents with learning bass, percussion, guitar and  keyboard.  Gino – Cochise always heard music in his head and because he got better at playing these instruments Gino could realize his musical fantasies. With all these experiences, door after door opened for Gino Cochise, whereas this formed his dream.

  Go international with his own band, compose and produce and get acknowledgment as a worthy musician/drummer who appeals to people for his uniqueness and creativity. So far his highlight has been the price for best singer/songwriter of Holland 2010 in which he played along with the young and talented singer Nicole Bus, for whom he wrote two songs (Fly Away & More than life). He composed every part of these songs, from music to lyrics to vocals.

  Since 2011 his promising band “The Muffin Majors” is complete and is he ready to take over the world.

  On May 26, 2011 Gino – Cochise may show all his talents at his very first show: “Through the Eyes of a Child” at MuzyQ, Amsterdam.

  Today we are going to introduce you another great artist from the line-up of the event "Through the Eyes of a Child".

     Introducing Netherlands own miss Feliciana Cacciapuoti…


    This gifted singer by the young age of 19 is planning to take The Netherlands by storm, and soon to follow the whole world. Not only does this star on the rise have a unique voice, but she also writes her own lyrics and music. Her passion, beauty, talent and determination only point one way : to the top!!
It all started at the age of 7 when Feliciana played dressed-up, got into the roll of one of the Spice Girls and performed all of their songs in a surprisingly talented way for her age. While growing up in a house full of music , she was inspired by her fathers Italian, and her mothers Dutch influences. Her interest for music quickly developed into her passion and is currently turning into her way of life: “As a young creative being , I have the incredible hunger to express myself. If I couldn’t express myself creatively I would be a very sad and especially depressed person.”

    Feliciana is working as a singer/songwriter and writes besides for herself also for various artists from the UK and the US. “Writing is my therapy, my way of explaining my mindstate and my way of expressing my feelings.” Also Feliciana has her own production team called The Difference (www.myspace.com/thedifferenceofficial) with whom she works on her own repertoire.
As a performing artist Feliciana has already rocked the stage at big Dutch venues like Melkweg, Paradiso, Panama, and Supperclub.
    Next to doing her own repertoire Feliciana also performed as one of the backing vocalists of Aischa Traidia and is currently singing as one of the backings of La Melodia Vibing High (2007) , Electronic Love (2010) (www.lamelodia.com). Upon request she also did a successful showcase for one of the biggest record labels in the world, EMI, who have been interested in this artist ever since they heard her sing. This gifted singer has a lot to offer, no doubt in her mind she will soar straight to the top.

     We hope your ready,   

     because Feliciana is!

At age thirteen she started to go with music in depth, she sang at several choirs and was in a band with whom she performed regularly.

          How did she became Lola Green?

        As a child, Lola lived in a house which had a lot of green objects, which ultimately became her favorite color, hence green. Lola was her nickname and Lola decided to combine these two together , see Lola Green.

Let us introduce you Ironlaw

 

 As you all know already we are an events company and we are working on different projects. After the success with MasterPeace experience we started working on our next event. It is called "Through The Eyes Of a Child " and it is going to take place on 26th of May at muzyQ Amsterdam.
   In order to get you more familiar with what is going to happen that night and to pique your interest we are going to present you with the biographies of the artists performing that night and more details about the event during the next days.
  Today we are going to start by introducing you Ironlaw. A multi-talented artist who deserves all your attention, especially if you are looking for fresh, new upcoming artists.


Singer/songwriter, rapper/mc, composer and dancer Lawrence Irons was raised in the artistic center of Germany, Berlin, with an Afro-American father and German mother.Entertainment, music and dance was the domestic norm growing up in the rehearsal rooms of his father’s dance/theater school with the rhythms of rap, pop, jazz and r&b music surrounding his life.

To this day Lawrence’s musicality and personality has always demanded the center of attention, claiming the eyes and ears of the people who see or hear him perform.
Now for over a decade, Lawrence’s childhood pastime has become his profession, constantly creating new music and looking for the everlasting showcase that would bring satisfaction to him and his desires.

In 2001 he left Berlin for Rotterdam to study modern dance at the “Rotterdamse Dansakademie” (Codarts) where he graduated with a bachelor degree in 2005. He toured internationally, performed in numerous dance repertoires and worked with top choreographers during his education. In 2010 Lawrence joined “Dance Works Rotterdam/Andre Gingras” as a professional dancer.
He founded his own record label “Ironlaw-Entertainment” in 2008 under which he releases his work including his solo debute album “When I Look Back” in 2009. With the branch “Ironlaw-Education” he offers workshop experiences in dance and sports to public schools and the community.
Lawrence also produces and performes at parties called “Nu-Forms” in Rotterdam with dance improvisation, spoken words and live music and was co-producer and frontman in “Coalition Of The Wicked” who has been active in the Dutch crossover scene from 2004 till 2007.

   As “Ironlaw” he performed on countless venues as a singer/frontman, mc/host and dancer such as; Park Pop, Noorderslag, Vier Daagse, Uitmarkt, Pop Ronde, Bevrijdings Festival, Oranje Pop, Amsterdam Dance Event, Robodock Festival, Nu-Moon Festival, Holland Dance Festival etc.
Besides his music and dance career Lawrence participated in professional Thai Boxing competitions but gave this up while joining Dance Works Rotterdam/Andre Gingras.

   So as you can see, even if Ironlaw is not mainstream his involvement and devotion for the music and arts in general could serve as an example to many other mainstream artists.

   If we made you curious even a little bit than we are waiting for you to come and join us on 26th of May in Amsterdam and see what Ironlaw has been up to.

    To find more details about Ironlaw's albums and to hear his songs you can visit his website @ www.ironlaw-entertainment.com

MasterPeace Experience & Liberation Festivals

It is Monday again and Eleven Events is back in the office. If you question yourself why there was no post lately on our blog it is because we were busy working at the MasterPeace project.As you could read in a previous post on our blog MasterPeace is the most heart-warming peace project! To give a more clear idea we present you the MasterPeace Passion Statement:
 

MUSIC above FIGHTING,

DIALOGUE above JUDGEMENT,

BREAD above BOMBS and 

CREATION above DESTRUCTION.

On 5th May people in The Netherlands are celebrating the Liberation Day, a national holiday and a moment to think of the past, be grateful and also to think of what you can do for peace & liberty in the future.

We are very proud because this year we have collaborated with MasterPeace and we are satisfied with the results. A lot of people got the in "peace mood" at the MasterPeace tents at the Liberation Festivals.

There were a lot of activities going on that brought people together and encouraged them to join the MasterPeace campaign for peace - " Just do it!". Among these activities we can mention: 

The MasterPeace Dream, the Speed Mediation, the cartoons drawing workshop, the flash experience and of course the Peace Party at the end of the day.

If you want to check out the mood from the MasterPeace tent @ Bevrijdingsfestival in Haarlem follow the link for the pictures on flickr!
