Media Consultant Elliot Mintz & Operatic Soprano Summer Watson Discuss Strategy at Craig's

Summer Watson and Elliot Mintz - last night, media consultant Elliot Mintz dined with opera singer Summer Watson. Summer is an internationally known vocalist “Having graduated from the Royal College of Music, Watson went on to sign a £1 million recording contract with Sony Classical in 2002.[3][20] The programme of her self-titled debut album, Summer, created by Watson herself and producer Nick Patrick, is a collection of classical, popular and world music, including pieces and arrangements of music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Antonín Dvořák, Gabriel Fauré, Geminiano Giacomelli, Benjamin Godard, Ennio Morricone, Stanley Myers, Joaquín Rodrigo, Sting, Richard Strauss and others.[21] The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted and arranged by Nick Ingman. Other recording studios included Air Lyndhurst and Townhouse Studios, while the London Session Orchestra provided additional strings. Watson worked with various musicians during the recording of the album, including Pino Palladino, Richard Harvey, Nigel Hitchcock, Dominic Miller and John Parricelli. She also had Roger Vignoles as her accompanist in Sposa son disprezzata, and Marcelo Álvarez as her duet partner in Tutta La Vita by Matteo Saggese. Choirs on the album are the London Oratory School Schola and Metro Voices.[21] Described as a "seamless fusion between classical and ethnic music that is both emotively powerful and intellectually satisfying",[4] Summer was released internationally in 2003,[1] peaking at number 1 on the US iTunes and number 2 on the UK Classical Charts.[3] "Her name says it all-she's bright, blonde and beautiful, with the talent and determination to take the music world by storm - a potential superstar", declared Classic FM Magazine,[1][22] while Arena named her as "the Norah Jones of 2003".[22] The Daily Express hailed the album as "very chilled out in a classical way."[1]
With her music videos, Watson is currently featured on the international music television channel C Music TV.[23]”
Summer, who has been in Los Angeles for two years pursuing a new record deal is looking to expand her options. She has been conferring with Elliot about finding a way to create a fusion of her magnificent operatic voice with more contemporary, accessible music, like andrea bocelli and is currently in talks with record producers who are enthusiastic about her concept. It appears that she is looking to Elliot Mintz for advice and guidance. She talked about her career, what inspires her, what she loves about music, who she would like to collaborate with and various other topics of interest. And hear Elliot's thoughts on Donald Trump.
