Dear Friends and Fans Along all my journey as a musician I had the opportunity to play in several bands. I recorded my first album with a band from south of the country, called Garcia & Garcia, in the late 80’s (we started in 1989 to be exact) and since then I’ve been in 3 famous Brazilian bands: Korzus, Angra and Shaman. Last year I was invited to return to one of those bands, Angra, the band that made me international famous as a professional musician and that gave me the experience that I still use in my every day work. It’s not necessary to say that Angra had a huge importance in my life - being something constant in my life - when talking about the songs I still play in Shaman, or the Angra CD’s that are asked to be autographed, in almost everything. Shaman came back in 2007, after a total re-modelation in its line-up, and with mine and my band mates' every efforts we made until here, with an outstanding CD, a DVD to be released soon and a tour with an Orchestra in Europe in the summer of the current year. This achievement won’t be thrown away, that’s why I say that Shaman will stay with me and I will strive in double, as far as possible, to keep the magic going. See you on the road!

FAN CLUB: How did you become interested in Shaman? TIZIANA HURD: First, thanks very much for this interview regarding SHAMAN. I always loved Shaman, and I have all their discography. Ricardo Confessori contacted me 1 year ago, asking to manage his band and I accepted without problems. FC: Nowadays, Shaman has more name than ever worldwide? Why is that? TH: Because I did a great job! SHAMAN never had before a manager and today to have label supports its not easy, then I promote the band in worldwide in every Radio in network ;;link possible, and all this took me 1 year job, but now SHAMAN is getting big every day, and finally we are ready to rock the world. FC: Shaman will play now in Masters of Rock Festival and other two dates confirmed in Europe. Can you advance us some more dates or it?s secret for now? TH: I know the fans want to know everything about their loved band and it's very nice, but please to be patience soon all dates will be posted. I have + festivals confirmed and my Agents are working to confirm all shows around Europe in short time possible. FC: You work with Almah, Angra, Shaman, Sepultura and worked with Andre Matos sometime ago. You have more interests in Brazilian bands? TH: Brazil has a lot of great Artists? maybe it's because the people there have the music in the blood. Anyway yes, I signed with DR. SIN another Brazilian rock/heavy legendary band. Sepultura has been my first Brazilian band, and with them I did 2 European tours in 2007 all shows were sold-out?I love those guys, very professional and nice people. In November 2008 I booked Sepultura in a Philippines Festival headliner. We are always in good relation. NOW, I'm really busy with SHAMAN. There is a big difference between SHAMAN and the other bands. I manage SHAMAN and then I HAVE to take care MY BAND. To be manager it's not the same that to be an Agent, a lot of responsibility going on. FC: You are booking dates for Shaman in worldwide. Is there much interest in Shaman in the part of the promoters? TH: Yes! After all my promotion around the world, I got most interest from Eastern Europe, UK, ASIA, some USA States, and Middle Eastern. Every kind of promoter (Classical, rock, metal, jazz, pop, etc) wrote me great words about SHAMAN music. This is a great satisfaction and I'm proud to manage SHAMAN. FC: Is there any possibility to see Shaman and Angra or another big band playing together someday worldwide or do you think that solo tours are better? TH: Maybe who knows? Maybe Angra a day will support SHAMAN who knows? In this business you never know what can happen. FC: You?ve worked with many artists and bands. Is there anyone that you have more affection nowadays? TH: I appreciated all bands that I worked with and every band has a special place in my heart. If you are asking if there is a band that I would like working with, well, sure I have my dreams, the same of all other managers, but it would be very unprofessional to mention names out of my roster. Anyway I will be really busy in the next years thinking for new bands working for. FC: Shaman will release a Live DVD now. Can you advance us something about it like Label, Name or something? TH: I have some majors very interested in IMMORTAL LIVE DVD. Unfortunately I can't give the names in advance until the contracts will be signed. FC: Sometime ago, we got the new that Shaman will play with an Orchestra in Europe. Was it your idea? If yes, how did you have this Idea after all? TH: Yes this is my project! IMMORTAL CD is recorded with Sao Paulo Symphony Orchestra, and if you listen the songs are really fantastic with, therefore I was thinking to make something great in live? SHAMAN is Prog. Power Metal then a mix between Classical, Rock, Metal and world music. I manage Gocmen Symphony Orchestra of Turkey (one of the best Turkish's Orchestra) and
