WHERE OUR HEART LIVES 

Anthony Baxter (AUS)

 

Anthony Baxter grew up in the Lake Macquarie region of NSW - AUSTRALIA, playing piano and clarinet at primary school, in the little town of Morisset.

 

He bought his first guitar at a pawnbroker in 2004 after listening to Australian Bush Ballad music, he entered his first talent quest at Bellbird Bowling Club and won the instrumental section.

Anthony has moved to Tamworth, to work closely with LBS Studio and has released two national and international top 10 hit singles, 'Wattle In The Spring' in 2021 and 'Bunyip Bounce' in 2022 with the later winning Anthony, several awards including the international Gold and Platinum Disc Awards.

- Clive Craske Radio Reverb - 97.2 FM Brighton, UK

The best things are worth waiting for. For years, UK- based performer and songwriter Octavia has been involved in music and has built up formidable experience.
You might not have heard of her, but more than likely you might have heard some of her work, even as a ghost-writer that didn’t get any of the limelight. Sometimes as the provider of incidental music for TV programs. Now Octavia is presenting her own project to unleash and indulge her inner diva.

Champagne Dreads is the project. Its time is right now, but its influences are intricate and deeply nuanced. Drawing together numerous and diverse elements into something effervescent and distinctive. The starting points are reggae, pop and even dance to create a hybrid, genre-bending sophisticated sound with crossover potential aplenty.

Octavia originally was pulling double-time. Working with music and as a London-based medical doctor, but now spends all her time developing Champagne Dreads. Exposure so far has just been via teasers, including airplay and interviews in Antigua with well-known DJ Sly J (a household name in the Caribbean) who’s very supportive of the project.

If something’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right. That’s how you get an enduring vintage. All the Champagne Dreads tracks are rich in detail with lush, polished, skilfully layered production thanks to super-talented key collaborator Tony White. Final mixes on all tracks are from LA-based Paul Lani, who’s client list is a veritable who’s who of some of the biggest music industry names. Paul’s another that loves the Champagne Dreads concept and sound and is involved because he just gets the music.

can get it too.
