Centaur Entertainment
Divisions
Centaur
Entertainment, Inc.
is an entertainment company started in 1997. Centaur currently has three
divisions, Centaur Music, Centaur
Productions, and Centaur Distribution, plus an Internet
store.
Centaur
Music
is a record label specializing in dance and pop music. The label received
a Grammy Award nomination for the song 'When Will You Learn' written and
performed by Boy George. Centaur Music is now releasing new singles from
Donna Summer, Elton John, Kristine W & Bruce Roberts, Nanci Griffith,
Lonnie Gordon, Pat Hodges and more. Centaur Music has also become the
premier producer of benefit/charity albums. The recently released DANCE
WITH ANGELS benefit album represents the first time that artists Madonna,
Janet Jackson, Sting, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, Taylor
Dayne, Barry Manilow, Billie Myers, Linda Eder and others have appeared
together on an independent record label. Upcoming projects, including
a benefit album for breast cancer, will again feature the biggest names
in the music business.
Centaur
Productions
is the in-house production company. This division has two shows in active
development for Broadway. The Natives Are Restless is a riveting dance-based
musical that traces the history of the Hawaiian Islands as told through
hula, but hula as you have never seen it before. Double Decker is a traditional
American musical, the intersecting story of two disparate families searching
for love, hope and reunion. Also in development is an animated feature
motion picture musical Urban's Tail.
Centaur
Distribution
distributes both Centaur's and other companies' music throughout thousands
of stores across the U.S., internationally and on the Internet. This division
also acquires rights to new projects including cast recordings from Broadway
shows and soundtracks from motion pictures. Centaur is proud to have obtained
the soundtrack rights to the upcoming motion picture 'CIRCUIT'.
Centaur
is also affiliated with Emerge Records,
a new label with Grammy nominated producer, Tony Moran. Emerge focuses
on new and emerging artists, writers and producers in the dance/pop genre.
Emerge's first single 'Only You' by Godwin recently was a # 1 dance hit
in the UK. Look for many new singles from Emerge and Centaur over the
next year! Mr. Moran, who is a two-time Grammy nominee, has produced albums
for Gloria Estefan and Jon Secada, plus # 1 dance remixes for Janet Jackson,
Celene Dion, Cher, and more. A recent album project he produced for Marti
McCutcheon in the UK went to # 1 selling over one million copies.
