The new faces of Alchemy Festival

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

Alchemy Music Festival was launched in 2011 and was shaped after Mauro Picotto’s own vision. The first edition was a success, with more than 2,000 young and old music lovers coming to see the world class music DJs in the beautiful countryside scenery of Cavour, in Piemont.

The ladies of Cavour were especially excited about the event, as the organisers were on a mission to find the Face of Cavour for the Alchemy Festival. The search party can now rest as we have our winners.

Casting: MMM gründet “Young-Talent-Band” “U 16″

Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

Es gibt hochbegabte Schüler/innen und es gibt hochbegabte Musiker/innen, die man in jungen Jahren fördern muss. Zwei davon sind sicherlich JULIEN FALK (14/Drum) und TIM SCHATTAT (15/Git). Die AgenturMMM gründet eine “U16-Young-Talent-Band”.

Bereits im Jahr 2011 wurde die AgenturMMM auf den begabten Drummer “JULIEN FALK” (14) aus Hofheim aufmerksam und nahm diesen 5 Jahre unter Exklusivvertrag.

Viele Medien wie LabelTV, NachtfahrtTV, Frankfurter Rundschau, Höchster Kreisblatt und sogar die ARD zeigten Interesse an dem jungen Talent, der bereits im Alter von 3 Jahren mit chinesischen Essstäbchen auf allem trommelte, was gut klang.

Ende 2011 wurde die Agentur auf den Jung-Gitarrist “TIM SCHATTAT” (15) aus Hofheim aufmerksam, der bereits schon viele Jahre mit Julien musiziert.

Die Leidenschaft zur Musik wuchs über die gesamte Kindheit über gemeinsame Jamsessions zusammen – Eine Jugendliebe der ganz besonderen Art.

Im Jahre 2012 gründet nun die AgenturMMM eine “U 16 – Best-Talents-Band” in Hessen über mehrere Castings.

Julien Falk (14) und Tim Schattat (15) sind sich für Deutschland sicher – “wir zeigen’s euch, dass wir’s drauf haben”.

Das Genre wird sich im Bereich ROCK bewegen.
