ALL SONGS ON OUR MYSPACE PAGE

Dirty Princess Productions is a songwriting & production house based in Bristol, UK. The team was founded by Ettan Bazil (Songwriter) and Alfie Cole (Producer) in May 2005. Since that time, Dirty Princess has grown to include, 4 vocalists specialising in different genres, and another writer, Erin Simms, who co-writes with Dirty Princess on a regular basis.

The primary function of Dirty Princess is to write and produce songs for charting artists, but since the team was formed, we have also expanded into other areas including television & film.

The first stepping stone was signing a two song publishing agreement with Music Copyright Solutions in October 2005. From this we went on to secure other agreements in 2006 with SHED Publishing, RDSD Publishing, Sexy Records, Blue Zoo Music and Big World Publishing.

We have placed a total of 14 of our songs with various publishers since October 2005 & have secured 9 cuts worldwide this year alone:

As a songwriting and production house, our main interest lies in writing and producing songs for mainstream name artists within the music industry. We also develop outstanding new talent - from writing the album, & producing the finished product, to placement with a major label.

We are predominantly writing for the pop market, with an equal commitment to both chart/pop music and contemporary ballads. Our catalogue also spans Indie, Rock, Hip-hop and Jazz/Blues / Pop crossover.

The DP Team includes:

Ettan Bazil - Writer / Producer / Vocalist

Alfie Cole - Writer / Producer

Katie Salt - Artist: Check out Katie's myspace page!!!

Erin Simms - Writer / Vocalist

Charlie Pearce -Vocalist



Dirty Princess are also developing artist Katie Salt who will feature on the Redd Angel Allstars album which will be released in South Africa later this year, and who shares the vocals for the Single, “If you weren’t there”, with Tarryn Lamb (SA pop idol finalist). Katie’s solo album is now underway and she has attracted label interest both here in the UK, and in the US.

Why this name?
Dirty Princess relates to the style of music we write. top-line melody over hip hop beats
Do you play live?
As DP are a songwriting team, we do not perform live, however, our artists do and we are currently securing gigs for them. Watch this space!!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Wider distribution (great :) )but more piracy :(
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes
Band History:
DP was created when I (Ettan Bazil) met Producer Alfie Cole who decided he would produce 2 of my tracks free of charge as he was so into the music. We clicked, started creating new tracks, recruited some artists, and the rest is history.
