„Wilton" – The Conquerer of Hearts.The Master of Love Themes.
I love the big orchestral Hollywood music scores. I first seriously started to think about composing titles and music for motion pictures in 1992, after meeting famous and late filmcomposer Maurice Jarre (Dr. Shiwago, Lawrence of Arabia, Passage to India, Ghost) and my mother knowing John Williams back in the 80s. I call this cinema-music "modern classic". Basically, composing catchy filmthemes is my biggest gift in life so I like to do what I can do best
While having been born with the very artistic sounding but blue blooded name »Martin Wilton de Grey« in the German margravial Wagner-City of Bayreuth, WILTON was already elucidated with music as a child and learned to play the piano by ear and the guitar later on. It seemed inevitable that the talented, good looking boy with the big brown eyes would someday become an artist or a musician. He never wanted to become a pop-star, because he had talent. TRUE talent.
His mother was from England, his father from Italy. He grew up with his adoptive parents in New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Later he studied music, majoring in arranging, harmony, instrumentation, composition, piano and voice at Berklee College of Music in Boston. At the same time, his mother taught music at Boston University and was friends with Leonard Bernstein, Seiji Ozawa, Leonard Nimoy, John Williams and the Boston Pops.
Influenced by the cult music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, as well as temporary rock music, and especially personally encouraged by his idol Stevie Wonder, he eventually began his life as a musician. Inspired by meeting the late Maurice Jarre, Mike Batt and Nigel Kennedy, he started writing his first orchestral filmscores. Not least he absolved a medical education in Munich and Boston.
Internationally he has produced und released several albums and projects under different pseudonyms, has written screenplays, filmscores and books f. e.: the commentary of temporary worldwide issues »Where is Eden?« as well as the noble-romantic novel, together with co-author Katharina Reverie »The unbelievable Story of Lukas von B.«, which he hopes to have filmed in the near future.
Moving between Boston, London and Munich, Wilton has begun recording his forthcoming album »The New American Century«, from which »Someday« is the first single-release in Europe.
This album expresses Wilton's innermost feelings and life experience. As an American, he is trying to promote his opinion on the American foreign policy, which has greatly damaged the global image of the United States. In addition he is striving for the German reputation in the world, hoping that someday in the near future, the German people can finally attain a new consciousness without history constantly being in the way of their natural development.
Wilton is a very spiritual, cool, funny and open hearted person, concerned with global issues, trying to spread positive energy, which he does quite successfully with his border-, racial-, religion- and age-exceeding music.
This first musical taste from the album, produced in Europe and the United States, and which is set for release this fall, makes the suspense rise. He writes most of his songs by himself or with others.
»Someday« is an absolute »Feel good Sunny Day Californian-Style Summer Hit«, a catchy solid rock tune which really makes you feel great. Wilton has a strong voice, is unique, distinctive, humorous and very charming – always with a touch of class, flowing straight into the hearts of his audience.
So sit down, relax and feel the energy! It's Wiltontime!
Strength to the weak! Power to the people! LOVE RULES!!!!!!!!!!!
"Life is so beautiful and our God-given talents are much too precious to waste. Life itself gives you a new chance each and every day, no matter what you keep doing wrong! The best of all, is that we are never the same person in the evening, as we were in the morning. We have to learn the difference between positive and negative actions and their consequent reactions in order to choose between them. The best way to change the world for the better is to start with YOURSELF!", says the heartthrob artist, songwriter, producer. ;-)
