In part fantasy, part weaver of magic, part willow the wisp exists Candice Night. For 15 years she has been entwining lyrics based on legend with reflections of ourselves in her words set to music to transport the listener to another realm. She is emulated by children, young mothers, and all women young at heart throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. This international recording star was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and is often dubbed \u201cone of the most beautiful women in the world \u201d by the international media. She is frequently identified as a mix of Karen Carpenter\u2019s voice and a young Stevie Nicks, for her flowing skirts, but her ethereal voice and lyrics are all her own. As a front woman for the band Blackmore\u2019s Night, she also plays 7 medieval instruments on stage, lending to the excitement and mysticism of the music of her group.<\/p>\n
Candice Night sang background for Deep Purple in 1993; and on Ritchie Blackmore\u2018s Rainbow CD \u201cStranger In Us All\u201d she co-wrote four songs. She received a gold record in Japan for her co writing efforts and one of her songs, \u201cBlack Masquerade\u201d, was chosen as Best Song Of The Year in 1995. Her song \u201cAriel\u201d won accolades in Europe and charted at # 2, as well as being the official German soccer song, and \u201cBlack Masquerade\u201d was # 1 in Japan. <\/p>\n
She then wrote lyrics for the songs for the 1st Blackmore\u2018s Night album, \u201cShadow of the Moon\u201d which earned her a 2nd gold record in 1997. Since then, she has received gold records and other awards for her writing and performances in Blackmore\u2018s Night as well as for Rainbow, and has charted consecutively with each CD. The Blackmore\u2018s Night CD \u201cShadow Of The Moon\u201d immediately went gold in Japan and stayed high in the European charts for 16 weeks. Two years later, \u201cUnder A Violet Moon\u201d was released and won the \u201cvocal album of the year award\u201d in USA. In 2003, \u201cFires at Midnight\u201d won the NAV Best Vocal Album awards, went gold in Europe and they also won video music awards. In 2003 \u201cGhost of a Rose\u201d went gold in Europe and won \u201cvocal album of the Year\u201d again in the USA. Their DVD \u201cCastle and Dreams\u201d was picked up by PBS in the USA and aired on TV throughout America and it went gold in Germany shortly after release. In 2006, \u201cThe Village Lanterne\u201d entered the charts in Germany and Japan, riding high for several months. Their next DVD: \u201cParis Moon\u201d, filmed at a sold out performance at the famous Olympia in Paris, France, was voted the number one DVD and CD by the New Age Reporter and NPR stations. Then came their holiday CD: \u201cWinter Carols\u201d which was acclaimed \u201cBest Holiday\u201d CD and spawned their single \u201cChristmas Eve\u201d that entered number #37 on AC Radio Billboard charts. In<\/p>\n
2009 their CD \u201cSecret Voyage won best vocal album of the year and entered the Billboard New Age charts at number #1 and stayed in the top 10 for an unprecedented 72 weeks. Her newest Blackmore\u2018s Night CD \u201aAutumn Sky\u2018 entered Billboards New Age charts at number #1 and 15 weeks later remained in the TOP 5! Candice continues to widen her musical horizons not only writing lyrics and singing, but also playing medieval instruments: shawm, cornamuse, rauschpfeife, pennywhistle, and chanters to name a few. Over the course of 7 studio albums, much critical acclaim and accolades, and many tours around the planet, she can also be heard as guest vocalist for Helloween\u2019s first ever duet on their CD \u201cKeeper of the 7 Keys\u201d on their hit song: \u201cLight The Universe\u201d; with Tarja of Nightwish on \u201cPromises Under The Rain\u201d; with Glenn Hughes in \u201cThe Story Of Aina\u201d and on The Infinity Project. She also sang on the latest William Shatner CD, on his version of \u201cSpace Oddity\u201d, released in Summer 2011. Those who have delighted in her performance include Sarah Brightman, Bea Arthur, Cuba Gooding Jr, Frank Zander, and Hugh Jackman. Candice was discovered by the Faerie Festivals in the USA when she graced the cover of Faerie Magazine. She was dubbed Faerie Festival Queen for 2 consecutive years, as well as currently being the Princess of the cutting edge, interactive theme parks: \u201cMagiquest\u201c and Great Wolf Lodges.<\/p>\n
There are many facets to this extremely talented performer, and these are projected throughout her first solo project entitled: REFLECTIONS. See inside the mystery that is Candice Night, a reflection, perhaps, of yourself. Allow yourself a chance to get lost in the passions, the mysteries, the ever changing kaleidoscope of the Night – reflected in her vocals, her lyrics and her music…<\/p>\n
