Bosson holds the prestige of being nominated for Golden Globe Best Original Song in a Motion Picture in 2000 sharing the nomination with Bjork, Sting, Bob Dylan and Garth Brooks…not too shabby for a new artist. The nominated song “One in A Million” appeared in Sandra Bullock’s Miss Congeniality was one of the original four songs on Bosson’s demo that prompted Holly’s interest in offering him a deal and signing him with Capitol Records in 1999. He had a successful touring career in the USA that year opening for Britney Spears and was a feature artist on the Nickelodeon Summer tour as well as several high profile Radio festival performances. Bosson is an international pop star who’s currently working on a new album in between touring Russia, Europe and South America. Her signing of the UK group Vega 4 was a deal she did with industry tastemaker Safta Jaffrey. The record was produced by John Cornfield at Sawmills Studios in the UK with additional production by Ron Ainello and mixed by Michael Brauer and Mike Shipley. Vega 4 left Capitol Records after Holly’s departure from the label. The group went on to record for Sony International. Vega 4 achieved great recognition on a track with Paul Van Dyk “Time of Our Lives” and was highly exposed in the JEEP US national TV commercial as well as countless key spot Television uses. VEGA4 Frontman Johnny McDaid has had further success in his later endeavors as musician, writer and producer with Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran. Johnny is the co-writer of monster Sheeran hit “Shape of You”.
