{"key":"6815","name":"Gloria Estefan","bio":"Gloria Estefan (born Gloria Mar\u00eda Fajardo, September 1, 1957, in Havana, Cuba) is a seven-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, actress and social activist. Known as the \"Queen of Latin Pop\", she in the top 100 best-selling music artists with over 100 million albums sold worldwide, 31.5 million of those in the United States. Estefan is the most successful crossover performer in Latin music to date.Beginning her career in 1975 as lead vocalist for the then exclusively Spanish-language band, Miami Sound Machine, before crossing over to mainstream pop success with the international hit singles \"Dr. Beat\" (1984) and \"Conga\" (1986), Estefan emerged as one of the biggest new stars in the mid-'80s, predating the still nascent Latin pop explosion by a decade, and scoring a series of propulsive dance hits rooted in the rhythms of her native Cuba, before shifting her focus to softer, more ballad-oriented fare. Born in Havana, Cuba, the young Gloria Fajardo was raised primarily in Miami, FL, after her father, a bodyguard of Cuban president Fulgencio Batista, was forced to flee the island following the 1959 coup helmed by Fidel Castro. In the fall of 1975, Fajardo and her cousin Merci Murciano auditioned for the Miami Latin Boys, a local wedding band headed by keyboardist Emilio Estefan. With their addition, the group was rechristened Miami Sound Machine and four years later, Fajardo and Estefan were wed. As Miami Sound Machine began composing their own original material, their fusion of pop, disco, and salsa earned a devoted local following, and in 1979 the group issued their first Spanish-language LP on CBS International. Despite a growing Hispanic fan base, they did not cross over to non-Latin audiences until \"Dr. Beat\" topped European dance charts in 1984. With 1985's Primitive Love, Miami Sound Machine recorded their first English-language effort, scoring three Top Ten pop hits in the U.S. alone with the infectious \"Conga\", \"Bad Boy\", and \"Words Get in the Way\". Following 1987's triple-platinum Let It Loose, Estefan took top billing and the group changed its name to Gloria Estefan & The Miami Sound Machine in 1988, reeling off four Top Ten hits - \"Rhythm Is Gonna Get You\", \"Can't Stay Away from You\", the chart-topping \"Anything for You\", and \"1-2-3\". 1989's Cuts Both Ways was credited to Estefan alone and generated her second #1 hit, \"Don't Wanna Lose You\". However, on March 20, 1990, while touring in support of the album, her bus was struck by a tractor trailer. Estefan suffered a broken vertebra that required extensive surgery and kept her off the road for over a year. Her husband Emilio and the couple's son were injured in the crash as well, but all three recovered. Estefan resurfaced in 1991 with Into the Light, again topping the charts with \"Coming Out of the Dark\", a single inspired by her near-fatal accident. Two more cuts from the album, \"Can't Forget You\" and \"Live for Loving You\", secured her foothold on the adult contemporary charts. With 1993's Mi Tierra, Estefan returned to her roots, recording her first Spanish-language record in nearly a decade and earning a Grammy Award for Best Tropical Latin Album; on the follow-up 1994 covers collection, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, she also recalled her dance-pop origins with a rendition of the Vicki Sue Robinson disco classic, \"Turn the Beat Around\". Another all-Spanish effort, Abriendo Puertas (1995), earned her a Grammy as well, while Destiny featured \"Reach\", named the official theme of the 1996 Summer Olympics. As Latin pop made new commercial headway, thanks to the efforts of acts like Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias, Estefan reigned as the most successful crossover artist in Latin music history, with international record sales close to the 50 million mark. In 1999, she also made her feature film debut alongside Meryl Streep in Music of the Heart, recording the film's title song as a duet with *NSYNC, and scoring both a massive pop hit and an Oscar nomination in the process. A new Spanish-language album, Alma Caribe\u00f1a, followed in the spring of 2000. Several months later, Estefan was awarded a Grammy for Best Music Video for \"No Me Dehes de Querer\" at the inaugural annual Latin Grammy Awards. Her husband, Emilio, won for Producer of the Year. - Jason Ankeny, All Music GuideAppearances and toursIn April 2004, Estefan appeared on the Fox Broadcasting Company\u2019s program, American Idol, but declined an offer to be an official judge, saying she did not like to \u201cjudge\u201d others.

The Miss Little Havana Songfacts says that the first nine tracks tells the tale of a young girl who hooks up with the wrong guy in Miami after moving there from Cuba.

Both \"Wepa\" and \"Hotel Nacional\" achieved number one on Billboard Latin Songs and on Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs. Estefan started a reality show called The Next: Fame Is at Your Doorstep opposite Joe Jonas, Nelly and John Rich on the CW Network, where she, and the other three mentors are searched for the next big star, to record an album with Atlantic Records. Unlike other music reality shows, in this program, the mentors selected the \"candidates\" for the show, and trained them for a live performance, where they'd be voted for the best act of the day. The first season ended in October 2012, with musician Michael Ray, as the big finalist.This same year, Estefan appeared as a musical guest in Tony Bennett's compilation of duets with Latin-American musicians, Viva Duets with a rendition of the song, \"Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)\".

{"key":"6216","name":"Deep Dish","bio":"Iranian-American dance music production duo based out of Washington D.C., USA, consisting of Ali \"Dubfire\" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi. Originally known as club DJs, they have also released a long library of remixes and original productions. They own and operate the Yoshitoshi record label and have worked extensively with vocalist Morel. Their remix of Dido's \"Thank You\" won them a Grammy Award.The Iranian\/American singer of three songs (Say Hello, Flashdance, Awake Enough) on the album George is on, is Anousheh Khalili.Each year, an album is released that demands a place in any music fan's CD collection. Washington, DC- based Grammy Award winning duo Deep Dish's latest effort George Is On, is one such record. For those tired of the same old formula in either rock, dance or beyond, this is the album that will break down doors and force you to look at music from a different perspective. Fresh off 2004's international hit lead single \"Flashdance,\" and a follow-up single, \"Say Hello,\" that's currently tipped for a repeat performance, the duo of Ali \"Dubfire\" Shirazinia and Sharam Tayebi have delivered an album that could prove to be the defining work of their careers. George Is On exemplifies Deep Dish's uncanny ability to mix genres, as the Iranian-American duo brilliantly marries classic 70's\/80's era rock & pop sounds with their signature deep and sexy dancefloor production and knack for creating subtly big songs. The record features a tight knit group of DC-bred guest vocalists, including long time Deep Dish collaborator Richard Morel on \"No Stopping For Nicotine,\" \"Sacramento,\" and \"Everybody's Wearing My Head\" and newly discovered female vocalist Anousheh on \"Flashdance,\" \"Say Hello,\" and \"Awake Enough.\" Dubfire himself also debuts his vocal talents on the melancholic yet beautiful ballad \"In Love With A Friend.\" \"Flashdance,\" was the first new release by the duo in six years as well as being the debut single from George Is On. With vocalist Anousheh's sultry, nonchalant vocals accompanied by a slick guitar riff inspired by a song from the 80's cult classic film \"Flashdance,\" the song quickly grew into an international crossover phenomenon that would come to define the \"guitar-house\" sound. After conquering dancefloors worldwide on promo over the spring of 2004, the song debuted in the USA in late summer of 2004 and went on to become the No. 1 top-selling dance track on Apple's I-Tunes for the year. In September of 2004, the single debuted at the No. 3 spot on the U.K.?s pop charts. \"Flashdance\" went on to be released in over 30 territories, went Gold in Australia, and won the duo the award for \"Best Underground Dance Track\" at this year's International Dance Music Awards in Miami. In helping to continue the \"Flashdance\" phenomenon, Canadian producer Sultan went on to update the song with his bombastic mash-up remix that seamlessly crosses the Deep Dish original with Dire Straits' guitar rock classic \"Money For Nothing.\" In what is one of the world?s first ever legally cleared \"mash up\" remixes, this instant classic has been included on the US version of the album as a special bonus track. Deep Dish goes on to further bridge the gap between past and present via their re-work Fleetwood Mac's seminal \"Dreams\" (the third single). And in a major coup for the album, the song features newly recorded vocals from Steve Nicks herself! The song was originally set to be an instrumental, however the duo soon noticed that the vocals for \"Dreams\" were in near perfect key with their instrumental track. The duo sent the song to Stevie Nicks' camp to see if there was any interest and, lo and behold, Dubfire and Sharam soon after found themselves at the legendary Village Studios in West LA (coincidentally, a studio where Fleetwood Mac had once recorded) laying down the new vocals with the legendary Fleetwood Mac vocalist. It's been 14 years since the duo first met in DC, and it's been seven years since they released their critically acclaimed debut artist album Junk Science. During the time between Junk Science and George Is On, Deep Dish's Dubfire and Sharam have been extremely prolific. They've released a number of genre-defining mixed CDs including Yoshiesque (1999), Renaissance Ibiza (2000), Yoshiesque Two (2001), Deep Dish \"Global Underground: Moscow (2001) and Global Underground: Toronto (2003). In addition, they have become two of the most in demand remixers in the business, and their credits include Madonna, Beth Orton, Depeche Mode, Dido, Janet Jackson, The Rolling Stones, 'N Sync, Justin Timberlake, Brother Brown, Morel, and Danny Teneglia. Their remixing prowess earned them a Grammy nomination in 2001 in the \"Remixer Of The Year\" category and in 2002 they were nominated and won a Grammy in the \"Best Remixed Recording\" category for their mix of Dido's hit single \"Thank You.\" The group later went on to collaborate with P.Diddy on the track \"Let?s Get Ill.\" On top of all this, these two talented and driven artists tour throughout the year with 100-plus DJ gigs worldwide, leading Rolling Stone to declare, \"there may be no other live DJ act better than Deep Dish.\" Nominee: Grammy Award 2005 \"Best Dance Recording\" for Deep Dish's \"Say Hello\" Winner: Grammy Award 2002 \"Best Remixed Recording\" for Dido's \"Thank You\" Nominee: Grammy Award 2001 \"Remixer of The Year\" (Non-Classical) Winner: International Dance Music Awards 2005 for Best Underground Dance Track for \"Flashdance\" Winner: DanceStar USA Award 2004 for Best Compilation (US Releases) for Deep Dish GU#025:Toronto (Global Underground) and Best DJ Nominee: DanceStar USA Award 2004 for Best Remix (Worldwide DJ's) for P Diddy's \"Let's Get Ill\" (Deep Dish Remix) (Bad Boy) Winner: Ibiza DJ Award 2004 for Best Set of the Season Winner: DanceStar USA Award 2002 Best Compilation for Deep Dish - GU 021 Moscow' (Global Underground) Nominee: DanceStar USA Award 2003 Party 93.1 FM Award for Best Remix for Justin Timberlake's \"Like I Love You\" (Deep Dish remix) (Jive) \"Hot Duo\", Rolling Stone, August 2001 Winner: Muzik Magazine SAS Award 1998 \"Best International DJ\" Deep Dish also ranked: Winner: 2006 DJ Meeting Awards (Germany) Best International DJ #2 in the \"Best Dance\/DJ Artist\" category by the critics of Rolling Stone for their music awards of 2001 #8 in DJ Magazine's World's Top 100 DJ's reader's poll for 2005, #10 for 2004, #9 for 2003, #16 in 2002, and # 10 in 2001 #5 out of 50 of \"America's Favorite DJ's\" in BPM in 2005, #12 in 2004 and #9 in 2003 and 2002","featuredImage":"https:\/\/assets.allamericanmusic.com\/images\/6216_h_0.jpg","feeRange":"please contact"}
