BIO
BIG, HEAVY AND BULKY... THAT WAS THE DESCRIPTION OF ONE OF THE FIRST "SONY WALKMANS" WHICH PLAYED THE SOUL OF STEVIE WONDER IN HIS EARS. HE HAPPILY REWOUND THE CASSETTE OVER AND OVER TO HEAR THE CLASSIC "SIR DUKE" AGAIN. INSTEAD OF MINUTES, THE TIME JUST PASSED BY IN SONGS.COMING FROM A MUSICAL FAMILY, THE YOUNG "HOVANES" SPENT HIS TIME DIFFERENTLY THAN THE OTHER KIDS. HE PREFERRED TO LISTEN TO HIS FATHER PRACTICE FOR THE NATIONAL CHOIR. DURING HIS LATER VOCAL EDUCATION, IT BECAME OBVIOUSLY ADVANTAGEOUS THAT HIS MOTHER WAS A CHOIR CONDUCTOR. HE SANG IN THE CHURCH CHOIR UNTIL HE WAS 12 - AT WHICH POINT HE SWITCHED TO FLUTE BECAUSE OF HIS CRACKING, ADOLESCENT VOICE. AT THAT TIME HE DIDN..T SUSPECT THAT JUST 6 YEARS LATER HE WOULD REDISCOVER HIS PASSION. THE TIME PASSED BY, BUT THE MEMORIES OF THE MANY PERFORMANCES AS A FLUTIST REMAINED WITH HIM. INSPIRED BY SOME SOUL GROUPS IN THE US MUSIC SCENE, HOVANES DECIDED IN THE SUMMER OF 2001 TO PURSUE PROFESSIONAL MUSIC PRODUCTION. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, HE FOUNDED THE RNB GROUP "DICE" WITH FOUR GOSPEL SINGERS. IN THE BEGINNING, THE GROUP CONCENTRATED ON THE HARMONIZATION OF THEIR VOICES AND AFTER A SHORT WHILE, THEY ACHIEVED PERFECT HARMONY WITH ONE OTHER. AT THIS POINT, NOTHING STOOD BETWEEN "DICE" AND THE PERFORMING STAGE. AFTER SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCES, THE PRODUCTION TEAM "PHASE03" CAME TO THEIR ATTENTION AND PRODUCED A FEW SONGS WITH THEM INCLUDING THE PLANET RADIO CONTEST WINNER "FALL IN LOVE". AFTER THE EXPERIENCE WITH "DICE" HOVANES MOVED ON TO BECOME THE CO-FOUNDER OF THE LABEL AND STUDIO "LT-MUSIC". IT IS UNDER THIS LABEL THAT HOVANES PRESENTS HIMSELF IN HIS SOLO GUISE. IN THE SAME YEAR HE SUCCEEDED TO MARKET THREE OF HIS SONGS LOCALLY. EVEN ONE OF THE SONGS MADE IT TO THE "GUINESS BOOK OF RECORDS" SHOW WHEN HE PERFORMED THERE. IN THE PAST HOVANES HAS ALSO PERFORMED AS AN OPENER WITH ARTISTS SUCH AS "FATMAN SCOOP", "COREY WILLIAMS" AND "MASSARI". SOON HIS SONGS WILL BE BROADCAST ON TV AND NEW DOORS WILL BE OPENED. IN FEW MONTHS HIS SOLO ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED.
