Dawna Lee Heising of EOE on Time Warner Cable Interviews Award-winning Musician Kris Searle at Dino Maddalone Productions

Searle Won Best International Artist and Maddalone Won Record Producer of the Year for Slowly Diabolical at the 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards

Award-winning musician and record producer Kris Searle was a guest on the latest segment of Eye on Entertainment on Time Warner Cable. Searle won “Best International Artist” at the 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards, which were founded by Al Bowman and were held in October 2008 at the Music Box Theatre in Hollywood.  His producer Dino Maddalone won “Record Producer of the Year” for Searle’s first album “Slowly Diabolical.  Since then, Searle has gone on to win other awards and accolades and his career is skyrocketing.  He performed his new song with his partner Leslie Stoddard and the show includes an interview with record producer and studio owner Dino Maddalone. 

Searle was born in Herne Bay, United Kingdom, and was the youngest soprano with the Kent South Singers at the age of 11.  In numerous interviews, he has mentioned that his father Tony was his mentor and bought him his first guitar.  While his mother Dawn and sister Katie appeared on the red carpet with Searle at the 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards, Searle was saddened that his father Tony was not there to share in his huge triumph.  Tony passed away in November 2006. Searle was the runner-up in Invicta FM’s Pepsi Chart Search for a Star competition and invested his savings into a record company in the UK.  When the record company failed, Searle lost his money and decided to try his luck in the United States at the age of 22.

The loss of his record company and his money in the UK turned out to be a blessing in disguise when Searle and his record producer Dino Maddalone were triumphant at the 2008 Los Angeles Music Awards.  Searle launched his own independent record label in 2008, Inspire U Records, and will release an independent compilation album next year called “Inspired Artist 2010”.  Searle’s career has been exploding and following are some of his recent projects and accolades:

·        Nominated for “Best Male Artist” on Rock Wired radio show and magazine readers poll

·        BBC featured artist in the UK played on regional and prime stations throughout UK

·        Nominated for TRIPLE A SINGLE of the YEAR 2009 L.A Music Awards - Hollywood   Palladium
