OTTAWA-BASED SINGER/SONGWRITER RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS F.A.C.T.O.R. RECORDING AWARD

NebulaSonic is pleased to announce that versatile performer, Dale Waterman, has been awarded a $1000 grant from F.A.C.T.O.R. (Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent On Records).

F.A.C.T.O.R. is supported by the music industry, radio and federal government, to provide funding for independent Canadian musical talent, like Dale, in order to assist with their projects which may include recording, touring and promotion.

• Dale received a Professional Demo Award, a $1000 grant towards the production of an independent artist demo tape or CD.
   
• The production of this independent recording will be completed by the end of April, 2000 from Distortion Studios in Nepean, Ontario, Canada (Alanis, Tammy RayBould)
   
• The demo will initially be used as a promotional tool within the music industry, as mandated by contract with F.A.C.T.O.R.
   
• Dale will release a full-length album by the summer of 2001
   
• NebulaSonic Productions was founded in 1998 by Waterman as a management company and record label. Dale continues to be involved in every aspect of his career.
   
• Dale has performed at the Black Sheep Inn, Chapters Bookstores, and numerous private and corporate engagements around the city.
   
• Dale's R&B-tinged pop sound is inspired by such influences as Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Elton John and Des’Ree.
   
• Ottawa music lovers will recognize many of the other talents assisting Dale in his project. The musicians include Jeff Asselin (Visions in the Sky, Comfortably Numb, Tammy RayBould) on drums, Brian Asselin (City After Dark, Daddy Cool and The Groove Bug) on sax, Azim Keshavjee (Visions in the Sky, Comfortably Numb) on guitars, Adam Fogo (Gammahoochie, Tammy RayBould) on bass, Tony RayBould on percussion, Angela Townsend on backing vocals. A horn section -- Steve Drew on trumpet, and Graham Lonsdale on Trombone, warms up the track "Let Me Know."
