  • (1888PressRelease) July 24, 2014 - TORONTO, CANADA - International recording artist Grazzia Giu has released her debut single "Pretend" to North America radio on July 13th, 2014 in advance of her CD entitled "Pretend". "Pretend" single & video will be distributed through AMG and its major label distribution partner, Bungalo/Universal Music Group Distribution. 

    "I'm very excited to be part of a team that believes in me and my music, and can help take me to the next level as a songwriter & performer," states Giu. "I couldn't ask for a better group of people to make that journey with. I'm glad to be part of team AMG/Deevel!" 

    "What I love about jazz is that you can break all the rules and be free," states Grazzia, when describing her love of the musical genre she first discovered at a very young age after hearing the recordings of Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. This freedom of jazz is taken to new heights on "Pretend" showcasing her versatile techniques and talents. 

    Mark S. Berry, who's extensive jazz credits come from engineering jazz greats such as Oregon, Elvin Jones, Bunky Green, James Moody, Ralph Towner and many more at the legendary Vanguard Records in New York City for 12 years states, "To be working with a talent such as Grazzia is an honor. Pretend is a debut to remember and jazz aficionados everywhere will be talking about this release for some time to come. This is the kind of recording that hits the jazz purist's sweet spot and Grazzia and her band are bound to reap the benefits."

    Rob "Kelo" Hendricks furthers, "We are delighted that Grazzia has chosen Deevel as her marketing infrastructure. We have already done deals with major business radio outlets, Spotify, MTV and the future looks great for international licensing."

    Proclaimed "the future of jazz", Grazzia has recorded two solo jazz albums before releasing "Pretend". Her musical journey has been especially remarkable and Grazzia's music has been prominently featured on radio stations worldwide.

    "Pretend"will be available digitally through iTunes, Tune Core, Amazon.com and via Grazzia's direct deal with Spotify.
