SANANDA MAITREYA’s BIOGRAPHY:

Sananda Maitreya was born in New York - USA on March 15th, 1962. Since his childhood he had a very special relationship with music: at the age of 6 he started playing drums and at the age of 2 started singing along with the Beatles. His mother Frances Howard Darby is a Gospel singer. Sananda spent his childhood living all over America, including stints in New York, Chicago, New Jersey and Florida, where he graduated at Deland High School and where he was a member of the group ‘Modernaires’. Back in those years he also boxed and won the Golden Gloves Title in 1980. He entered The University of Central Florida in Orlando, studying Journalism but left after 1 year to became a US soldier for the U.S. Army and was sent to Germany (in the same regiment that Elvis Presley also earlier served in).

After 3 years of military life, Sananda dropped it to dedicate himself fully to his real passion: the music. He became the lead singer of ‘The Touch’ a self contained German band. In 1986 moved to London and in 1987 his debut album: “Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby” came out and gave him international fame. The album, published in 1987 sold more than 3 million copies the day of its release, and more than 12 millions all over the world. It is remembered for the hits: "If You Let Me Stay" "Wishing Well", "Dance Little Sister", "Sign Your Name" and made Sananda win a Grammy Award on March 1988 as Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male. In June 1988 Sananda was portrayed on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine and got a nomination as “Top International Newcomer”at the British Awards. In 1989he got 3 Nominations at the International Rock Awards as: Best Album (“Introducing the Hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby”), Best Single (“Wishing Well”), and Best New Artist. This will be the last time he received major record companies support, as after the success of this initial project the record company that he was signed to, Columbia, was bought by Sony.


The artistic path of Sananda, after his tremendous international success, continued with his second project: “Neither Fish Nor Flesh” published in 1989. The album for his advanced and modern sonorities is still used nowadays in places like Japan as a medical therapy to assist patients in coma and other brain related traumas. In 1991 Sananda moved to Los Angeles and published in 1993 his third album: “Symphony or Damn”. This amazing album contains famous hits, such as "Frankie and Johnny" (soundtrack of the so called movie with Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino, “Frankie and Johnny”), the album is also well known for the songs "Delicate", “She kissed me” and “Let her down easy”. In 1995 “Vibrator”, his fourth project, is released. The album, as was the previous project “Symphony or Damn”, was fully recorded and produced by the artist at the Monasteryo in Los Angeles, Sananda’s home studio and was followed by a world tour from 1995 to 1996. In those years Sananda also wrote several sound-tracks for Hollywood films (FRANKIE & JOHNNY; PRET-A-PORTER; THE FAN; BEVERLY HILLS COP III; THE PROMISED LAND; SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL; LOVE BEAT THE HELL OUTTA ME), and also worked as an actor in 1998 in "Clubland” and in 1999 as Jackie Wilson for CBS mini-series "Shake, Rattle & Roll".


On June 12th 1999 he played with INXS for Sydney’s Olympic Stadium Opening concert. In 2000 his fifth album “WildCard!” is ready and will be no longer released with his label CBS then Sony Music, which
published his previous albums, but released as an independent artist. Sananda in the same year left America for Munich – Germany. After a first free download release on the official website

www.sanandamaitreya.com in 2001 “WildCard!” is released with the artist independent label and Universal distribution in Germany, Italy and Japan. The Album got very positive reviews by the critics and contains the singles: “O Divina”, “Saying about you” and “What Shall I Do”.

Year 2001 is a very important one for Sananda, that on Oct 4th legalized his new name, Sananda Maitreya, and dropped his previous artistic name Terence Trent D’Arby, although privately and to his friends he has been Sananda since 1995. In December 2001 he played in Rome for the Concerto in Vaticano 2001 and met Pope John Paul II. In 2002 he moved to Milano, Italy where he re-released his fifth album in “WildCard! The Jokers’ Edition” and changed few tracks, the album is distributed independently all over the world. In 2002 and 2003 there is another world tour with more than 30 concerts to introduce the new album, there are some very important festivals and also U.S. TV shows such as the “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and the “Orlando Jones Show” in L.A.



On June 30th 2003 Sananda got married for the first time in Assisi, in Saint Frances Basilica with Francesca Francone Maitreya, an Italian architect and anchor-woman, and also a long time friend since 1995. After the WildCard! World Tour Sananda started recording his sixth project, his very first to be fully recorded in Italy.



In Florence in April 2003 Sananda recorded “Daddy can I have a war?” and “She knows I’m leaving”, two songs dedicated to soldiers of the war in Iraq, after he continued the project in Milano. Sananda initially released the album in chapters and then in the mastered version: on June 29th 2005 “Angels & Vampires –Volume I” and April 29th 2006 “Angels & Vampires – Volume II”. "Angels & Vampires" is available at the ecommerce of the official website and has 40 new songs with one exception, the cover of “Angie” an homage to The Rolling Stones.



On October 19th 2007 the album will be released as a 2 CD Limited Edition with TREEHOUSE PUBLISHING.
The style of the album is Post Millennium Rock, its main elements are heart and soul, its nature is passion, courage and curiosity and it acknowledges no rules but the goal to lead the listener back to his heart, to provoke his mind and re-approach him to his true feelings. Sananda played all instruments in the recording and personally wrote, arranged, produced and performed the whole album with Treehouse Publishing.

He also made two video clips of “Bella faccina” and “South Side Run”, recorded in HD format.

Multi-platinum artist Sananda Maitreya is currently promoting "Angels
& Vampires" with his Italian 2 men orchestra, “the Nudge Nudge”: Nik ‘The Sticks’ Taccori on Drums and Enea ‘il Conte’ Bardi on bass. He played at the Blue Note Milano and at Viper Theatre in Firenze.



From October 27th 2007 Sananda will be on tour with his “ANGELS &
VAMPIRES TOUR 2007” with 11 concerts in Europe: www.sanandamaitreya.com/concerts.html



His collaborations with Hollywood films continue, three hits are in fact inside the movie “Knocked Up” directed by Judd Apatow.



Sananda has been an internet presence since the late ‘90s and was one of the fist major artist to add credibility to the current explosion and acceptance of the internet music communication and Mp3. His model of communication and trading has been quietly adopted by many individual artists, new and established, as well as some labels themselves. He believed all along that the internet would be his path to true musical freedom, without in his words, “the usual gains and compromises”. His vision of Post Millennium Rock is music free of restrictions and marketing pressures.


In October 2007 Sananda also started recording his latest project: “Nigor Mortis ® - A Critical Mass” .The first chapter: ‘Dying is Easy (it is convincing your creditors that you are dead that is hard)’, with 5 new songs was released on October 10th in MP3 format from the official website:

Milan, ITALY July 29, 2005 -- Grammy Winning artist Sananda Maitreya releases his finished and mastered album "Angels & Vampires - Volume I". From May 2004 till May 2005 Sananda gradually released the rough versions of the songs in Chapters on his website, with the music download service WeedShare, which allows file-sharers to participate in the distribution and earn money from it with a share in the sales up to 35%.

The mastered version of the Album is now available, also for Mac-users, to download as single songs or as full album.

Sananda first announced "Angels & Vampires" as his follow-up project to his last release "WildCard – The Jokers' Edition" in 2001.
Maitreya about the project: "Angels & Vampires relies quite heavily for its musical support from the four basic food groups of live music: real drums, bass, guitar and keyboards and went with a more intimate and organic sound in order to reintroduce sonic sub tones back into the bodies energy matrix long weakened by compressed digital overload and its over emphasis. Sonic sub tones help to bolster the bodies electromagnetic and sense of overall wellbeing. Angels & Vampires also sought to create a sound base which would provide more emotional space in which the songs might breathe and feel less constricted. I felt that the WildCard project was a little too "studio-orientated", but was what the time and circumstances required. With this project, I wanted it to be less about the studio and more about me and the songs”.

The term he uses to describe this new music and more organic approach is:
POST MILLENIUM ROCK.

All songs are written, arranged, produced and performed by Sananda Maitreya, except for "Angie" which is written by Keith Richards and Mick Jagger.
The project was recorded at Jungle Sound Station Milano and mastered at Nautilus Mastering Studios in Milano – Italy.

There are no plans for traditional CD distribution, each customer will be able to download the CD cover and the Booklet from the website.

Weed, the system Sananda Maitreya uses to distribute his music, receives an investment from AIRVISION.

Released at Business Wire

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2004--AIRVISION, a leading provider of direct-to-consumer brand positioning and strategic business growth planning, today announced an investment in Shared Media Licensing, Inc. Shared Media Licensing is the Seattle-based company which developed Weed(SM) (www.weedshare.com), the revolutionary and file-sharing service for managing the distribution of music and other digital content via the Internet.

Weed(SM) was created by a group of musicians and software developers as a solution to the challenges of file-sharing on the Internet. Weed(SM) encourages file-sharing and makes payments to musicians while at the same time rewarding file-traders who respect artists' rights. To date, more than 7,000 musical artists have had their music "Weedified" including Chuck D, Heart, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Built to Spill, Kristin Hersh and many others.

"We believe Shared Media Licensing and their Weed(SM) file-sharing technology represent the future of music file-sharing on the Internet," said Arthur Rubinfeld, President and Founder of AIRVISION. "They have an innovative business model that is rapidly gaining widespread acceptance among many of the world's top musicians and their fans. Weed has solved the problem with Internet file sharing in a revolutionary way which we believe will capture the imagination of other businesses on the Internet."

Online auction giant eBay recently selected Weed(SM) to join a ground-breaking digital music download initiative. eBay has launched a new "store" for digital music downloads and is hosting Shared Media Licensing's Weed technology, the only system that enables music buyers to earn cash by sharing music files. eBay's 150 million-plus users will be able to use a breakthrough system that tracks music files so that the person who shares a music file, along with the rightsholder, is paid a percentage every time the file is shared with a person who buys it.

"We are extremely pleased to have the support and funding from AIRVISION's AV CAPITAL group," said John Beezer, President of Shared Media Licensing. "The involvement of AV CAPITAL allows us to move ahead rapidly in software development, marketing, and content acquisition.

Weed, the system Sananda Maitreya uses to distribute his music, got featured on Wired.com!

By Katie Dean

"While the music industry attempts to shutter peer-to-peer services in court and in Congress, one company is using P2P networks to promote and pay artists.

Shared Media Licensing, based in Seattle, offers Weed, a software program that allows interested music fans to download a song and play it three times for free. They are prompted to pay for the "Weed file" the fourth time. Songs cost about a dollar and can be burned to an unlimited number of CDs, passed around on file-sharing networks and posted to web pages.

"We're trying to take the problem of unauthorized music sharing and turn it into an opportunity for everyone to participate in the music business," said John Beezer, president of Shared Media Licensing. In addition to launching its home website, the company recently joined eBay's digital music distribution program with its own store.

Each time the song is downloaded by a new listener, the Weed file resets itself so the same rules apply: three free plays, then pay. The music can also be transferred to Windows portable media devices.

Shared Media Licensing makes the Weed purchasing software and channels the money to the artists and distributors. Over 100 independent content providers find the music, clear the rights, manage the files and promote the distribution and sales on their own websites.

Weed also encourages sharing by awarding a commission to people who pass the songs on to friends who then buy it. The copyright owner always gets 50 percent of each sale. Weed gets 15 percent for service and software costs. The fan who passes the music along gets 20 percent of the sale if a friend buys the track."

Songs are free to download to have 3 listens, the 4th time you're asked to buy it. The "WEED" program Sananda chooses to distribute his music, answers also to legal file-sharing. It promotes full respect for the rights of Artists and Publishers and file-sharers get paid instead of punished. Sananda encourages his fans to use his own P2P program to share his music.

Milan, ITALY November 10, 2004 -- Rock artist Sananda Maitreya releases 4 new songs of his project "Angels & Vampires", called Chapter 3 "NYMPHETAMINES: New pills for new thrills (prescribed by Luther Means)":

* Requiem (for our war dead)

"Requiem has no lyrics, just observational silence for the young soldiers who have died in pain and bewilderment in bringing 'FREEDOM ®'. To those who didn't ask for it, even while our freedoms are being mocked, sliced and diced at home. 'FREEDOM ®' is the registered trade mark of the FREEDOM CORPORATION, making the World safe for American business."

* Losing Becomes Too Easy

* We Are The Living!

"We ought to be living together as one
and not fighting apart as two
but that is a sentiment
that's bound to be mocked
without reason
as sure as my name
has changed the game
we will do all that we can do
to fill up the ranks
with fewer tanks
and more thanks
for our seasons"

* Psychotherapy

All songs are written, arranged, produced and performed by Sananda Maitreya.
