Ifelicious EXCLUSIVE!!! FourTwoFive Films forms Music Label: Four-Legged Records
Kris Black and Alex Verde
Hollywood, Ca. (October 26, 2009) – Kris Black and Bruce Reisman, whose FourTwoFive Films motion picture company is already in pre-production on their second movie, “Boarding School 3-D“, announced today that they are creating their own music label, Four-Legged Records.
This new venture has already signed its first rising star, 23 year-old Alexander Verde (pictured with Kris Black, above), exclusively to record an album and music video in 2010. The young singer was discovered by Reisman and Black at the posh L.A. eatery, Larsen’s Steak House. In a not-so-unusual show-biz scenario, “Alex” has been their server for many months. In passing conversation, the kid revealed that he was an opera singer. Curious, but skeptical, Reisman and Black saw and heard Verde’s demo and “were blown away”.
“The kid has a voice like a young Andrea Bocelli,” says Reisman.
“We’re going to groom him as a young Josh Groban,” says Black, who will personally oversee Verde’s career and produce his music for Four-Legged Records.
Aside from Verde’s youth and good looks, he is unique in that he sings in four languages. “We’re looking for just the right material,” says Black, “to showcase his versatility. We know that he’ll record opera in Italian, but we’re also looking for an original song along with a standard, to be recorded in both English and Spanish”. He will be groomed as an actor as well, and will appear in the upcoming thriller, “Boarding School 3-D”.
FourTwoFive Films had long been planning to launch a music division, but discovering and signing Verde helped them “pull the trigger”.
