BURBANK, Calif. (By
Maria Kleinman/Buena Vista Records) - The Buena Vista
Music Group has signed sister singing sensations
Everlife and set a January 30, 2007 release date for their debut album on Buena Vista Records/Hollywood Records. This effort marks the third joint venture for the sister labels, the first being Hilary Duff's triple-platinum release, "Metamorphosis," followed by
Jesse McCartney's platinum-selling album, "Beautiful Soul." The unique partnership between BVMG and
Everlife also includes music publishing, touring income and merchandise.
The three sisters, Amber (22), Sarah (20), and Julia (16) have been writing and performing as a group for seven years. During that time, Everlife built a grassroots following that started in their hometown of Indiana, PA and spread throughout the Northeast. They moved to Nashville in 2003 and released their self-titled debut album in 2004.
Everlife's musical endeavors are managed by Michelle Mitchell for Ezlu Entertainment Group, Philip McIntyre for PhilyMack, Inc. and Johnny Wright for Wright Entertainment Group. The band has booking support through Craig Bruck at ICM New York.
Radio Disney has been a strong supporter of Everlife with 4 singles in the Top 30 playlist since 2004. The girls co-headlined 22 dates with B5 on Radio Disney's popular Jingle Jams tour last December. Everlife has spent the last two years touring throughout the United States.
In 2005, Everlife was featured on several projects for Walt Disney Records including the gold-certified "Disneymania 3" (CD and concert DVD), "Radio Disney Jams 7" and "Disney Girlz Rock." Additionally, the sisters recorded songs for several television and DVD projects including the title track for the Disney Channel Original Movie "Go Figure" and "Strangers Like Me" for the "Tarzan" Special Edition DVD and "Don't Be Cruel."
This year, Everlife recorded "Real Wild Child" for Walt Disney Pictures film and soundtrack "The Wild" and a cover of Phil Collins' "Look Through My Eyes" for "Disneymania 4." Everlife is featured on the Radio Disney Party Jams CD/DVD album available October 10th. The newly recorded track, "Find Yourself in You" will be featured on the highly anticipated soundtrack from the hit Disney Channel Original Series "Hannah Montana" set for release on October 24, 2006. The music video will premiere on Disney Channel in November.
For their debut album, Everlife is writing and recording material in Nashville and Los Angeles. The sisters will be working with songwriter Matthew Gerrard (Kelly Clarkson's hit "Breakaway" and Hilary Duff's hit "Why Not"), Daniel Cage of Cherry Lane Publishing NY, Jamie Houston (Santana, High School Musical), Adam Watts and Andy Dodd (Jesse McCartney's "Beautiful Soul").
Additionally, Everlife has been invited to join The Cheetah Girls tour as their special guests and will perform for the first twenty dates of the tour, from September 15 to October 15.
The Buena Vista Music Group is the recorded music and music publishing arm of the Walt Disney Company.
