Stage Republic produces Pop Music with a little bit of 80s and a large bit of now. Stage Republic is the vehicle of expression of eclectic Dutch singer and songwriter Raven (pseudonym for unpronoucable Dutch name Corjan de Raaf). For Stage Republic, Raven and producer ItsBart created an instantly recognizable sound reminiscent of the 80s superbands like Duran Duran, Wham! and A-ha combined with the best of Dutch beats and Raven’s trademark voice. They are clearly children of the 80s and very much living in the now. Stage Republic is the distilled concentrate of a life in music.

He showed his sense of innovation again when in 2010 he released his Mystery Pop album containing songs inspired by a number of popular mystery books, all fully endorsed and co-promoted by the A-list authors including NY-Times bestselling authors like Glenn Cooper and Kathleen McGowan. The idea delivered him a Eurosonic Interactive Artist Award nomination and rocketing sales. Hollywood icon Patrice Chaplin arranged for a music video with Ellen Barkin for the single “City of Secrets”, inspired by her book of the same name. A quote by Raven was included on the cover of ‘The Cynical Idealist’, the John Lennon biography presented by Yoko Ono at the 30th anniversary of Lennon’s death in december 2010. In the same year, the British horror movie the Stone, in which Raven made his acting debut won Best Foreign Film award on the mountain film festival of California. |
