Sea To Sun Recordings founder Sylvia Tosun has scored a half-dozen hits on the global Dance Club Play charts, including the No. 1 Billboard Club Play anthem “Push n Pull,” which also reached No. 5 in 2010 on the U.K.’s Music Week Upfront Club tally. It features a music video lensed and directed by Bec Stupak.
Tosun’s first full-length project, 2002’s “Anthem: Vol. 1,” comprising world music anthems sung in their mother tongue, from Israel, Italy, Germany, France, Japan, Russia, Australia and the U.K.—10 nations in all—drew attention from producers of the 2005 Great Wall Concert, who invited her to perform in Beijing, China, alongside Alicia Keys and Cyndi Lauper, where Tosun sang in Mandarin Chinese suspended 100 feet in the air atop the Great Wall.
Tracks from her second studio album of original material, 2005’s “Jump In,” were featured on Showtime’s “The L Word,” ABC’s “Beautiful People” and WB’s “Dawson’s Creek. The following year, she developed and filmed “The Venus Concert,” a stage show of original songs, shot in HD and mixed in 5.1 surround sound. Themed around “female empowerment,” the performance aired on MTV’s MHD Channel, making the network’s first alliance with an independent artist. As a result, Tosun was invited to perform at the United Nations’ heralded “First Ladies of the World,” part of its International Women’s Day celebration.
