Biography
of Artist
Move over,
Avril. Out of the way,
Kelly Clarkson.
A new star is about to take flight. Like the pitch-black bird with which
she shares a name, a nod to her Viking past, Marion Raven has already
been hard at work conquering the world. Marion has laid siege to Japan,
Asia & Scandinavia, and she’s ready to take over the US with her debut
full-length album Set Me Free.
The 22 year old wrote or co-wrote all the songs on the album and
features her guitar and piano prowess as well.
All the songs were written or co-written by the
22-year-old Raven and feature her on both guitar & piano. The lead
single, “Falling Away,” showcases Raven’s distinctive vocal talents that
audiences worldwide have come to embrace. The video clip for the song,
shot during the recent Colorado blizzard, features some of the world’s
top snowboarders showcasing their stuff. Featured riders include Andreas
Wiig (Two-time Gold Medalist 07’ X Games, 06 ‘X Games Silver Medalist,
Snowboarder Magazine Jumper of the Year, Burton Abdominal Snowjam
Champion, 2007 Vail Sessions winner), Hana Beaman (US Open Champion, X
Games Silver Medalist, Transworld Magazine Female Rider of the Year) and
Mike Casanova (Vans Cup Rail Jam Champion, Vans Cup Slopestyle
Finalist).
“Shooting my video in the middle of a blizzard
with snowboarders jumping over my head was crazy and a lot of fun at the
same time. Andreas, Hana and Mike are amazing riders and they really
show what they are about in the video,” said Raven.
To create her record, Raven worked with a number
of top songwriters and producers. The results of these collaborations
are evident on tracks such as “Break You” & “Here I Am” (co-written and
produced by Max Martin), “13 Days,” which she composed with Canadian
singer/songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and Our Lady Peace’s Raine Maida &
“Heads Will Roll,” co-written with Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx and
James Michael. The track features Raven playing piano, electric and
acoustic guitar. Says Sixx, “I’ve written with artists as diverse as
Joey from Saliva to Meat Loaf and Vince Neil, but Marion is the most
talented new artist I’ve worked with since I’ve been making music.”
Raven is also already a huge success in Japan
where her album debuted at #6 on the charts and her single hit #1. She
is already making waves in the U.S., not only having written with Nikki
Sixx, but also with Art Alexakis from Everclear and Keith Nelson from
Buckcherry.
Marion Raven’s highly-anticipated debut album Set
Me Free will be released in the United States on July 24 on Eleven Seven
Music. Interscope will be releasing the album in Canada, where Raven
will be performing in ten Canadian cities as the opening act on Meat
Loaf’s March, 2007 Arena tour.
Marion is well known to UK & European audiences,
having dueted with the Meat Loaf on the top 10 smash “It’s All Coming
Back To Me Now,” the lead track from the platinum-plus Bat Out Of Hell
III. Raven will be opening on the Loaf’s UK/Europe tour in May/June 2007
in front of sold-out arena audiences throughout the continent. Set Me
Free will be released in the UK & Europe through 11-7 in early 2007. |
