He first began releasing records independently in 1983 and won the Big Country category of Outstanding New Artist in 1985. A lot of years have gone by since, but his new lease on life came with his March 4/96 signing to the River North Nashville label, distributed by Mercury/ Polydor. Warren's debut album for the label, Fallen Angel, brought him back into the mainstream with the release of One Step Back, followed by Watching Her Sleep, Fallen Angel, the title track of his album, and The Secret, his current charted single, which is a story in itself. Warren is using his popularity to bring attention to domestic violence through a campaign and a toll -free hotline number for abused women. His concerns about this issue prompted him to write The Secret. With the launch of the Warren Foundation, and a video of The Secret and his first fund-raising venture, a golf tournament, a fund-raising auction and a benefit concert. Needless to say, Warren's project made an immediate impact. Warren is nominated in two categories this year, Male Vocalist and for the Wrangler Rising Star Award. 1300411115-4-4 1416) 3644943 Partathe Music ManaciduringServicc V 111 1 where now point a to come have We pathologist. language speech our and teacher singing our 416-534-5299 can we says. 2K9 M6K Ontario Toronto, with conjunction in that do "And he the identify actually can we there,' quite 107 Studio Avenue, 31 problem," Brock not is falsetto my to break my or gone is C high my or range middle my in trouble having I'm `listen, says, and in comes singer a if that such production voice the in changes subtle very the see to able are we strobe, video the of use with "But Industry eye. human the by Music the to Photographer
