Realize Records Artist Chris Bruni Receives Five Nominations on Grammy Entry List

Wilmington, DE, November 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Realize Records recording artist and Philadelphia native, Chris Bruni has received five nominations on the Grammy entry list for his 2007 release “Watch Me Burn.” The 50th Annual Grammy entries include Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Song of the Year for “Watch Me Burn,” Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Broken Window” and Best Pop Vocal Album-"Watch Me Burn."

The CD, released earlier this year has steadily been gaining attention and has received critical acclaim throughout the country. Philadelphia Magazine, giving the Cd an A Grade review, says ...”This debut album is like the first cup of coffee on a cold morning: warm, soothing, and gratifying.” The first single “Watch me Burn” received college and AAA radio attention at stations throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

"Watch Me Burn” was produced by Darryl Joyner and recorded and engineered by Paul Chiacchierini at Racetrack Sound Studios in Gettysburg, PA. Bruni states, "Its flattering to know that people in the industry have recognized my music and are putting it on the same pedestal as a lot of the mainstream artists that I look up to. It's unbelievable!" Bruni is slated for a twelve city tour beginning spring of 2008. Members of the Recording Academy will go through a second round of voting to narrow down the list to five finalists. The results will be announced on December 6th 2007.

Realize Records was formed in Los Angeles, CA in 2000 as an alternative for independent musicians. In 2003, Realize opened its East coast office in the greater Wilmington, DE area and has been aggressively developing artists who deliver depth in song writing and are spectacular live performers.
