SHERY: "LOVE IS A GHOST"

Shery is a new, passionate singer/songwriter, gifted with a voice that will forever steal your heart. She writes and performs inspired, unique songs that transcend the barriers of language.

Through her very own brand of melodic pop and pop/rock, Shery creates a true world of FEELING, celebrating the shadows, the agonies of love.

Shery was born in Guatemala, the country of Ricardo Arjona, the morning of an August 18, under the sign of Leo.

Her first album, "El Amor es un Fantasma" ("Love is a Ghost"), is expected for Spring 2007.

The album takes name from her first single, a delicious song that remained for 26 straight weeks in the Guatemalan Top 40, then climbing #1 as the most requested pop song nationwide -- the first time ever for a local female artist.

Without real promotion, no record label, and no money, her debut concert (Guatemala, June 2005), was an absolute sellout.

What was intended to be an intimate night just for a small circle of close friends, became a totally crowded venue, enchanted with the passion of a young soul, brave enough to climb on stage and sing her heart out, performing in public for the first time songs she had written not for the public, but "to exorcize my own shadows", as she remarked later.

When after the show almost one out of every two people walked out with Shery's first single on hand (a quality home-made CD commissioned at the very last minute), it was obvious something unique had taken life that evening.

During her first 18 months of career, Shery has been a finalist in both the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (among 15,000 entries from all over the world) and the Unisong International Songwriting Competition. She has won a medal in the World Championship of the Performing Arts, in Los Angeles, California.

Shery has been a featured artist in all major T.V. shows in Guatemala, including Nuestro Mundo Joven, Alo Que Tal America, Con Buena Onda, Nuestro Mundo por la Mañana, Telediario, Cuestion de Minutos, Viva la Mañana and El Bingoton Millonario, and has received intense coverage from magazines and newspapers such as Siglo XXI, Prensa Libre, Nuestro Diario, Al Dia and Gee Magazine.

Azteca America described her as the "New voice from Guatemala to sweeten the world".

She has been interviewed by the leading national and local radio stations, such as Radio Mia, Exa FM, Red Deportiva, Doble Via, Radio Punto, Radio 10, Infinita, Yosi Sideral, Tropicalida, Extrema, Alfa 97.3, Galaxia, TGW La Voz de Guatemala, and was the first-ever pop artist to be interviewed by Radio Faro Cultural, the country's leading classical station.

In September 2005 Shery did her first US appearance in Washington D.C., invited by the Guatemalan Embassy.

She has performed in numerous venues, alone and with other artists, including some of the most important scenarios in her country, such as La Gala de la Cancion, Teleton, Escenarios, Mundo Navideño, Feria Nacional, and Radioteleton.

Shery has shared stage with Latin superstars the likes of Christian Castro and Manuel Mijares, as well as with local legends such as Malacates Trebol Shop, Viento en Contra, Aurum, and Radio Viejo.

Her second single, an irresistible ballad titled "Me Converti en Roca" ("I Becane a Rock"), premiered in February 2006 by Radio Mia 93.7, and has since then received intense airplay in radio stations across the country.

In August 2006 the song climbed to #1 position nationwide, while successfully making the leap from Contemporary Hit Radio to other formats (on its original version, not remixed), such as Tropical and other upbeat genres.

In September 2006 "Me Converti en Roca" was voted by the users of GarageBand.com (the largest independent band portal on the Internet) as the "#1 Best Love Song, overall, all time". The site also gave Shery awards such as "#1 Best Female Vocals in Latin, all-time", "Best Melody", "Most Original Song" and "Best Production".

Directed and produced by Daniel Rene (former member of the legendary Latin Pop band Menudo/MDO), the video of "Me Converti en Roca" was filmed in Miami, Florida, and will start to air in January 2007.

When she is not on stage singing, Shery is writing, producing or recording. She dreams on a world in peace, where no children has to grow-up in hunger, and where human kind has finally learned to live in harmony with nature.

RECENT 2006 STUFF@NIGHT, BOSTON INTERVIEW!

http://www.stuffatnight.com/rd0405/partying/documents/05211973.asp

DJ Dale Charles started DJ'ing around 1983 at some infamous Summer Beach House parties, playing mostly New Wave including B-52's, The Romantics, Elvis Costello, Rockpile, Buzzcocks, The Beat, The Pretenders, 999, Depeche Mode, The Go-gos and Prince. New Wave was it, a funner, fresh new scene and lifestyle had emerged, the birth era of synth-dance and the 12" remix single.

Connected by fate to the few important New England DJ's including Ed Fritz and Kevin Fennelly, Charles' interests grew stronger as the music grew more interesting. DJ Ed Fritz' "Baptism" and its parties in 1986-88 introduced Dale to the European and US' Techno, Industrial and House scenes. Kevin Fennellys excellent Summer Of 86 club "Level Vibes" also paved the way and inspired those who were lucky to be there.

But it was DJ Ed Fritz who schools all in attendance how to mix three different styles of music on three turntables (SL-1800's) at the same tempo at the same time. This was essentially the definition of "House Music", before it was so called - and the Baptism had taken place. DJ Dale Charles was formally reborn. Then in 1987, seeing it all in action again in Montreal at Club "Business" on St Laurent changed everything. This was it. The calling was about to be answered.

The East Coast residencies began in 1988 - in the small New England towns, on off nights, at first Decadence in Dover, NH, then Zoots Thursdays with Portland Maines Kris Clark. Then south to Bostons Hub Club in 1990-91, now club Felt, for a huge 1000 capacity International Night on Fridays.

On to a big move way out west in the fall of 1991 to San Diego, and the birth of the legendary SoCal and US Rave movement, at first pure in all its forms, joining music lovers together to experience exciting new music, advances in lighting technology, fine-tuned sound systems, and an uninhibited gathering of all races, religions, thinkers and do-ers, perhaps not experienced since the late 60's. It was a cultural phenomenon, a time to meet new people and stay up all hours and experience new music and expressions. DJ Dale Charles was a leading SoCal DJ in 1991-92, headlining most major events with residencies at the famous MicroRaves, Narnia, Opium, Playskool, Rubber, Evar, G.U.N. and countless other one-offs.

News of west coast Raves and its DJ's spread quickly across the US and Dale Charles started booking nationally, then to Mexico, Canada, Asia (sadly cancelled) and nearly every major US destination.

Producing several releases since 1992 as Sedona with Benny Blanco on OHM Records, Boston, and Rampant records LA, Dale Charles has maintained a MIDI synth studio since the late 80's, producing today under the names Too (Element Recordings), Sedona and Time Beings on both Syncopate and most recently Reversible Records.

DJ Dale Charles has DJ'ed with and has DEEP RESPECT for: Evar SD, Wicked SF, Primary UK, Benny Blanco, 333, Mgee, Gatherings SF, Sasha, John Digweed, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Howells, Derrick Carter, Moby, Tiga, Luc Raymond, Micheal Thomas, Tony, Paul Grogan, Barry Weaver, David Morales, Josh Wink, Anne Savage, Luv Dup, Doc Martin, Scott Hardkiss, Dominic UK, Marcus Wyatt, Dmitri from Dee-lite, Lil Louis, Frankie Bones, Adam X, Justin Johnson, Debo, Jellybean Benitez, Mark Farina, Pete Moss, Fred "kooky" Gianelli, Hector Romero, Jimmy Van M, Tin Tin, Taul Paul, Carl Cox, Rick Preston, Daeman, Mark E Quark, Jon Bishop, Thin e thin UK, Q-Bert, De La Soul, Primal Scream, Jonas Temple, Hipp-e, Armand Van Helden, Jeno, Garth, Marky, Joeski, Onionz, Ryde, Chocolate Factory NY, Felix Da Housecat, Brother Cleve, DJ Dan, Kevin Saunderson, LTJ Bukem, DJ Trixie, Misstress"... wanna come to my room and for some Kokanee...?"
