The Velvet Hearts

ABOUT THE VELVET HEARTS



The Velvet Hearts were born in 2008. Frustrated with the industry, the band started posting live performances of their gigs on the website YouTube. These videos achieved phenomenal success, notching up 300,000 hits in just six weeks, gathering more subscribers than megastars Gwen Stefani and Gorillaz. Their unique style, killer hooks and emotive lyrics are a result of Newman and Jones' songwriting partnership, a journey that began in the music room in their early school days.



Grammy award winning producer Mark Pastoria stumbled across the band on YouTube and word of The Velvet Hearts spread to his studio in Motown. Only a few weeks later The Velvet Hearts flew to Detroit and recorded their debut album 'Into The World'.



They recently supported Bon Jovi at the 02 Arena and are currently writing the soundtrack

for the movie trilogy Silas Gore - The Velvet Hearts are also writing with Alice Cooper and Dick Wagner for the film.
