OUTSTANDING NEW FEMALE VOCALIST CONTENDERS

DIANE CHASE The youngest in a family of 10 children, this Sudbury native began at the age of five, and was already touring and Quebec as a teenager as the lead singer in the band Flirt. However, Chase realized that, if she was going to make it in the music business, she had to relocate to Toronto. But before she made the move, she helped recruit a new lead singer for Flirt, someone named Eileen Twain. Once in Toronto, Chase earned her securities license and began working as an investment banker by day, while searching for a means into the music business. Her search led her to Cedar Tree Studios in Kitchener, home to one of Canada's leading country producers, Rick Hutt. Working alongside fellow country artists Beverley Mahood and Giselle (both from Lace), Chase released a CD single, In The Middle Of Something, which hit the top ten on the country charts. The video for the song, meanwhile, landed on CMT's Top 20 Countdown. Chase's second single, Walking Away With You, also scored well on the charts, AMANDA LEE and the accompanying video, shot in Cuba, also gained substantial airtime on CMT.

Eventually, the grind of the road led her parents to opt for homeschooling. When Hart was 17 she won a local talent contest and earned a chance to record a pair of songs for national distribution. The producer she wound up working Three Time ECMA Male with was also working with an act already signed to Sony Music Canada. The connection paid off for Hart, who was signed to Sony shortly thereafter. The list of producers who worked with Hart on her Sony debut is impressive: Walter Afanasieff, Peter Asher, Barry Beckett, Dan Huff, Big Coun Josh Leo and Tom Shapiro. The album has produced a trio of hit singles- including That's When You Came Along, Save Me, and the current hit, I Will Be Loving You (#27- RPM Country 100 - June 5/00).

JOHN LANDRY "If it moves you, then it's music, regardless of it's melodic style." That's according to eastern Quebec native John Landry, who's own CD collection reflects such diverse tastes, ranging from Mozart to Elton John. Landry's first performance took place in front of his grandmother when he was just four years old, and she recorded his version of Charlie Pride's Snakes Crawl At Night on an old tape recorder. Although Landry went to school to become a flight medic, he held on to his dreams of making music his career. When Landry wrote a song for a friend dealing with some tough times, he was amazed at the affect the song had, and realized that music was where his future lay. Landry's debut CD, Forever Took Too Long, came about after he performed at a fundraiser alongside Julian Austin and Jamie Warren. The latter introduced Landry to noted producer J. Richard Hutt, and the album Forever Took Too Long was born. The record produced several charted singles, including Bit By Bit, which hit #53 on the RPM Top 100 Country chart of 1999, and There You Were, which reached #87 on the same chart. The third single, Long Gone And Forgotten, was another top 20 hit for Landry. The hard work has earned Landry a 2000 Big Country nomination as outstanding new male vocalist.

KEVIN WAARA This native of Thunder Bay penned his at the age of fifteen, and prodded on by his close friends, began performing and recording the songs. Waara started recording as far back as 1972, and it was at this time that he met veteran Canadian country producer Don Grashey. The two began a musical partnership which lasted more than a decade, and produced a number of recordings. One of Waara's first recordings, Sweet Lorene, was well received by critics both north and south of the border. But success came slowly - another recording, a single featuring a pair of Elvis songs, sold a whopping 311 copies. Waara performed with a host of bands throughout the '70s and '80s, including Apollo, Wheatstone -Bridge, Rockslide, The Reflections, The Marbles, The Colts, Coldshot, The Keys, and most recently, Kevin & The Hi -Fives. In 1980, Waara released the album Breakthrough, which resulted in four charted singles in RPM, including A Dream And A Fool, which hit the top ten and remained there for six weeks. The success of that recording led to a 1981 CCMA nomination for top male artist. Waara's latest recording, Horseplay, produced a couple of charted singles, Texas Two Step and There Ain't A Minute That Goes By, both of which have helped to earn Waara a 2000 Big Country nomination for outstanding new male vocalist.

OUTSTANDING NEW GROUP OR DUO

LACE The original Lace trio of Beverley Mahood, Giselle and Corbi Dyann was the brainchild of veteran Canadian producer , who saw a void in the country field for such an act, and signed the trio to his own 143 Records label. Leading the way for the group is Kitchener native Mahood, who's already earned considerable success with her debut solo record, Girl Out Of The Ordinary. That album produced several radio singles, including hits in the title track, A Little Thing Called Love and The Way A Woman Feels. But it was during the 1997 CCMA Awards that Foster got in touch with Mahood, looking to include her in a new female trio he was forming. Shortly after signing with Foster, there was several days of auditioning before Mahood tipped Foster off to a friend of hers, fellow Kitchener native Giselle. Finding the third voice was a tad more difficult, but after listening to several audition tapes, the group decided on Texan Corbi Dyann, who flew up to Canada to meet with the other two. with his longtime friend Dave MR The trio hit it off immediately, and a new group was born. The album featured the legendary production Juno nomination as country group touch of Foster, along with fellow producing giants Chris Farren, Humberto Gatica and Rick Hutt. 1996, Steele signed a publishing de The radio response was immediate, with the lead single, I Want A Man, peaking at #13 on the RPM in early '96, and produced three top Country 100 chart. The followup single, Kiss 'Em All, did even better, soaring to #6 on the charts. collaboration for the duet, Two Nat Recently, Corbi Dyann parted ways with the group, and was replaced by newcomer Stacey Lee. 1999, Steele wrote and recorded Fc Following up their 2000 Juno nomination for top country group or duo, Lace have now been nominated or group. for outstanding new group or duo at the 2000 Big Country Awards.

BEVERLEY MAHOOD & JAMIE WARREN Born in Northern Ireland, and raised in the Kitchener/Waterloo area, Beverley Mahood's debut release, appropriately titled Girl Out Of The Ordinary, was released in 1997. Featuring 10 songs co -written by Mahood, the album was produced by veteran Canadian producer J. Richard Hutt, who helped craft Mahood's career since she was a teenager. The lead single from the album, the title track, reached the top ten on the Canadian country charts, followed shortly thereafter by another top ten single, A Little Thing Called Love. Mahood's career received a huge shot in the arm in 1999 when David Foster recruited her for a new all -female country trio dubbed Lace. The group's debut single, I Want A Man, became one of the biggest Canadian country songs of 1999 (#60 on the RPM Year -End country chart), and established Lace as one of the hottest young country acts in Canada. While Mahood is still a relative newcomer to the game, country veteran Jamie Warren has been writing and recording country hits since the early '80s. Warren first hit the country charts back in 1985 with Take Me Home Mississippi, which peaked at #10 on the RPM Country 100 chart. The song also garnered Warren an outstanding new artist award at the 1985 Big Country Awards. Although Warren went into semi -retirement during the early nineties, he re-emerged in 1996 with the album Fallen Angel. The album spawned several top twenty singles, including the song The Secret, about an abusive relationship, which inspired Warren to form the Warren Foundation for Victims Of Abuse. That album was eventually picked up by Mercury/Polydor in the US for an American release. His 1998 release, Just Not The Same, produced another immediate hit in Cried All The Way Home, and earned Warren a trio of 1999CCMA THE SPURS nominations, including top male artist. For the 2000 Big Country Awards, Beverley Mahood and Jamie Warren have been nominated in the top group or This new country duo is headed up by th duo category for their hit I Love How You Listen To Me.
