Christie, Danielle, and Candice Beu ~ Beu Sisters Bio ~ “Our inspirations come from the universal one song of LOVE. Through unity, ingenuity, creativity, joy and grace, we hope to heal lives and touch hearts.” ~ Beu Sisters Born into a musical family, Candice, Christie and Danielle Beu learned from an early age to appreciate and understand all aspects of the entertainment industry. The sisters, encouraged by their parents, Broadway veterans (“A Chorus Line”), steadily developed their collective and individual talents. In 1988, the Beu family (parents and eight siblings) left the bright lights of New York City for the serene sounds of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. By the end of the ‘90s, the parents divorced and the sisters unified through music, performing on stage with their mother, opening for major artists like Billy Ray Cyrus and Bo Diddley. They soon came to the attention of Award-Winning Songwriter Desmond Child (Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith). He introduced them to Record Producer Steve Greenberg and the sisters became the second act signed to S- Curve Records. In 2002, their debut album “Decisions” was released and received rave reviews. Billboard Magazine wrote, “While the environment for instantly accessible melodic music is often hostile at top 40 radio these days, one must remain optimistic that true talent will rise to the top. THE BEU SISTERS demonstrate enormous versatility on their upcoming, DECISIONS. All involved should pop the champagne cork for an effort that radiates joy, humor, passion, and artful, unaffected singing. These gals are simply wonderful.” As singers and songwriters, the sisters soon garnered numerous movie and television soundtracks: (Double Platinum Selling) “The Lizzie McGuire Movie Soundtrack”; “Home on the Range”; “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days”; “Because of Winn Dixie”; “Ella Enchanted”; “Smallville”; “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”; “Gilmore Girls”; and, “Charmed.” Quickly becoming a Disney fan favorite, the sisters were featured on “The Disney Channel,” Disney’s 50 th Anniversary Celebration at the Hollywood Bowl, “Disneymania In Concert” (hosted by Raven Simone), and a handful of Disney albums including “Disneymania 2 (Anytime You Need A Friend & He’s A Tramp) Certified GOLD #29 on BILLBOARD’S 200 US, #1 Top Kids Audio & #52 Top Internet Album. They then expanded their existing fan base by opening for “American Idol” Alums Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken on a 32-city tour. It was at this point in their blossoming career the tides shifted. The sisters were signed to an entertainment deal with Sony/Columbia Records, but delays led them, as a family, to the unanimous decision to go back home to their seaside town. They found themselves waiting tables, teaching vocal lessons, gardening and cleaning homes, and performing around town. During these lean times, they also found themselves putting down roots, growing families, and cultivating a new vision for their creative dream. Today, Beu Sisters are a self-contained trio, expressing a pop urban sound that blends mystical melodies, heavenly harmonies and theatrical, life-affirming recitations over neo-symphonic beats. The first single and video, “Definition of a Lady,” captures their journey of self-expression and creative empowerment with both elegance and beu-ty. Now, through their own label, Beach Breakz Records, Beu Sisters produced, wrote, arranged and recorded all 16 songs off their upcoming 3 EP’s titled "Beu~tiful Volume I, II, & III the "Beu~tiful Collection".
