Top New Age Artists
Ennio Morricone
Ennio Morricone is one of the most successful and revolutionary film composers of all time.
∙ Between 1961 and 2016, Morricone composed roughly 500 scores and classical pieces—practically one a month.
∙ While studying music at Rome’s Conservatory of Santa Cecilia, starting at age 12, he played trumpet in jazz bands to support himself.
∙ He became famous for his scores to Sergio Leone’s “Spaghetti Westerns” A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, which were produced for $2 million total and grossed $280 million worldwide.
∙ Starting with A Fistful of Dollars, he embedded his scores with coyote howls, whip cracks, and other visceral sound effects, revolutionizing music for Westerns.
∙ Working exclusively in his native Rome, he composed at his desk in pencil, frequently working not from a rough cut of a film but from just a script.
∙ Morricone didn’t win an Academy Award for Best Original Score until 2015, for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight—eight years after he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Oscar.
∙ He was nominated for seven Grammy Awards, winning four, and his score for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
∙ The Ramones used his most recognizable song, “The Ecstasy of Gold”—from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly—as the closing music for their shows, and Metallica blasted it over the PA before taking the stage.
∙ Morricone sold more than 70 million records worldwide during his career—3 million of them in the US.
∙ He continued composing until just months before his death on July 6, 2020, at age 91.

Read moreLauren Monroe
New York-born, California-based polymath Lauren Monroe is a gifted singer-songwriter and architect of transformational experiences.
She designs and transforms ordinary environments into extraordinary meetings where the self and soul intertwine. Art of music, storytelling, mindfulness, and energy medicine are combined. Lauren’s raw vocal quality, is a sawdust-on-the-floor with emotional and spiritual power packed performance which draw audiences in and speaks to them on levels beyond listening. Her experiential lyrics, emotionally authentic and free of pretense, are embedded in vibrant folk-rock settings, immediate in their impact and timeless in their sound. The unmistakable parallels between rock’s halcyon days and Monroe’s music are rooted in her neoclassic song craft, replete with ecstatic, harmony-laden chorus hooks and imbued with the unfettered joy of being alive and in the moment.
Lauren is “an empath, a healer, a teacher, visual artist, producer and songwriter. Her songs guide, direct and uplift and are sonically beautiful,” asserts acclaimed producer Jim Scott, who produced Messages From Aphrodite.
In addition to her music, Monroe, along with husband and frequent collaborator, drummer Rick Allen, cofounded Raven Drum Foundation. The foundation serves, educates, and empowers trauma survivors and communities in crisis, with a focus on Veterans and First Responders.
