Raymond Dante / Old California

It was 1982 when Brett Raymond started his professional music career with the band "Souvenir" which released two singles in USA on Curb/MCA Records. In 1986, Brett went to Tokyo and worked as a composer and arranger and got a opportunity to release his first solo album "Only Love" on Sixty Records. Although this album was released only in Japan, the name of Brett Raymond became recognized steadily among AOR/Westcoast Music lovers over the world. Back in the States in 1987, he settled down in a suburb north of Salt Lake City, Utah and in 1993, Brett played synthesizer on "When You Look In My Eyes" for Jay Graydon's album "Airplay For The Planet". Besides writing and arranging theme music for TV programs including the "Today Show" on NBC, Brett restarted to release his own solo efforts in the states; "Primarily For Grown-Ups" (1994), "Primarily For Christmas" (1996), "First Light- Scenes From The Restoration vol. 1" (1997), "A Case of Pop" (1998) and "Primarily For Grown-Ups Again!" (2001). In 2002, Brett got another opportunity to release an album for Japan, which was Latin album including 4 classic tunes of Antonio Carlos Jobin's with 3 originals. We could not hear any news regarding Brett since 2004 when he released "Mini Christmas Album".

Now in the early spring of 2010, I found that Brett Raymond has released his brand new musical effort as "Raymond Dante" collaboration with Isabella Dante. Brett Raymond and Isabella Dante met in 1987 while doing a music project in Los Angeles, California. Through the years they realized they had a unique union of great music and imagistic lyrics. They have written several songs for international artists and both have a lengthy list of production credits including several songs for animation movie releases. Both Brett and Isabella continue a prolific collaboration of songs.

Abundance doesn’t always require money. Many people live with all that money can buy yet live empty inside. Abundance begins inside with some main self-ingredients, like love, care, kindness and gentleness, thoughtfulness and compassion.
