My career in the entertainment industry has enabled me to work with a diverse range of talent.

Through my years of experience, I've

recognized two essential aspects. Industry professionals, whether famous stars, or behind-the-scenes

staff, have fascinating stories to tell. Secondly, audiences are eager to listen to these stories,

which offer a glimpse into their lives and the evolution of their life stories.

This podcast aims to share these narratives, providing information on how they evolve into their chosen career.

We will delve into their journey to stardom, discuss their struggles and successes, and hear from people who help them achieve their goals.

Get ready for intriguing behind-the-scenes stories and insights into the fascinating world of entertainment.

Hi, I'm Tony Mantor. Welcome to Almost Live Nashville.

Joining me today are two musical powerhouses,

Russell Watson and Helen Jane Long.

Russell, a multi-platinum, multi-million selling British tenor,

made history with his debut album The Voice,

which topped charts in the US and UK for an unprecedented 52 weeks,

followed by his second album holding number one for 36 weeks,

a record yet to be matched. Helen, the world's highest streaming female pianist, has captivated

audiences with nine albums, selling over 3.5 million copies and amassing more than one billion streams.

Together, they've crafted Shine, a stunning collaborative album that fuses Watson's soaring vocals

with long's evocative compositions, showcasing their shared passion for music that uplifts and inspires.

Thank you both for being here today.

It's a pleasure, thank you.

Thank you for having us.
