CLIENTS: LUCAS PRATA
Lucas Prata is no stranger to the radio airwaves and TV sets across the world. Since his last run on world-wide radio Lucas has been working hard on new music getting ready for another album to be released. The untitled third album goes back to Lucas's roots in commercial Dance Music. He has linked up with teams of producers based out of Europe as well as some of the ones that he has worked with in the past to capture that clean European pop sound that he has been craving to make for his diehard fans. His electrifying shows have put him on top of his genre for the last 7 years here in the U.S.
The self proclaimed Bad Boy Of Dance is now reaching for yet another level of his career by starting his own label Yo Pal! Entertainment. (www.yopalent.com). Yo Pal Ent. will start off small with just a couple of newly signed artists along with Lucas' new material coming out as well. This will be Lucas' third album coming out in the spring of 2011. Lucas says, "This has been a long time dream of mine to be able to help young talent out there to get their music heard and help them not go through some of the tough experiences I went through in the business. The music business has changed a lot from when I started and I've kept my ear to the ground learning all the new ways it takes to be successful in the music business."
The Lucas Prata brand has been expanding. 2008 bought the debut of Lucas Prata - The Making of a Pop Star (Prata's own reality show) on the Zilo Network. Fans outside of the United States who have heard of the show have written Lucas to make the show available online. Prata has also co-written a new version of "And She Said..." ("Just Say Yeah...") for Coca-Cola which debut in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics. Coca-Cola also launched a collector's item specialty bottle embodying the Lucas Prata Logo. This should blast Prata to another level for sure with the billions of people that tune into the Olympics. Keep your eyes and ears open for another Lucas Prata explosion to take over the world.
You may recognize Lucas Prata's voice from television spots for Coca Cola, McDonalds, JC Penny's, and LA Gear. Born in New York City, Prata became Mr. University of Miami while attending the college, winning the contest courtesy of his good looks and strong voice. Moving back to New York, he became a backup singer for George Lamond, a voice for hire for commercial work, and eventually a solo artist. In 2000 he released the single "Fly Away" and supported it as opening act for Salt-N-Pepa on their national tour. After recording some club tracks with C+C Music Factory associate Ricky Crespo, Prata hit pay dirt with his single "Ma Ya Hee," a duet with Dan Balan of the Latin dance group O-Zone. "Ma Ya Hee" went to number one in 27 countries and sold over eight million singles throughout the world in various languages. The dance label Ultra signed Prata in 2005 and released an English version of the song in hopes of bringing the phenomena to America.
