她们不仅是最具潜力的明星...
她们不仅是稍有的集美丽、活力、迷人和天赋于一身的四姐妹...
她们甚至是在一个家庭最艰难的时期，仍不忘自己的梦想...

这便是THE BEU SISTERS，事实上历史正在发生，她们已经写作、唱歌、开辟属于自己的音乐历史。

首张专辑DECISIONS，打着13首歌曲讲述她们的故事。

引用BILLBOARD杂志的评论：
...
THE BEU SISTERS; Candice, Christie, Jilaine和Danielle, 亲手构筑自己的舞台。显而易见，今天，没有人在音乐上能够像THE BEU SISTERS这样。

关于这些才女和她们的姐妹，故事就从纽约城开始。她们的父母一生从事演艺事业发展，彼此成功的节目无数。在Broadways“快乐时光”他俩相遇，在这个创新的热播节目中，"A CHORUS LINE"（她们父亲的Andy Beu可是其中主要人物之一），和当红音乐人"SUGAR"（她们的母亲Mary Ann OReilly担当主音）开展盛大的巡演。

她们拥有的是不同寻常和相当有用的童年，幕后的成长经历，和父母共同巡演。共同面对娱乐业职业的考验、磨难和成功。这些女孩是第四代写作人和音乐人。

1989年，一家人重新在佛罗里达的海岸小镇上安顿下来，这里的生活很适合他们，很快他们开始培养四个女孩各自的特长以便将来发挥。Candice绘画，还陈列了早期作品的当地奖项；Christie冲浪，一时的热情尽使她在2000年一举夺得塞巴斯蒂安女子西海岸冲浪赛的桂冠。Jilaine对服装设计和制作表现强烈的兴趣； 而Danielle仅仅喜欢海滨的生活，在家学习和大姐相伴。

Beu一家一切都是丰富的和艺术上的稳定直到1994年，父母离异，改变了她们的生活和家庭的中心。

不可避免的她们和音乐更近了-骨子里与生俱来的，起了重大的作用。她们的母亲用音乐使她们展望未来而不是回过头去历数失去。

"我们第一次一起唱歌的时候Danielle才六岁 - 四个女儿和母亲，"Jilaine回忆，"我们甚至感受到魔力的存在。



More than the most promising act to have come down the road in years...

More than four sisters with a rare combination of beauty, energy, charisma, and talent...

More than even a family that has survived long, hard times, never losing sight of their dreams...

THE BEU SISTERS are, in fact a phenomenon in the making and are already writing, singing, and carving themselves into music history.

Their debut album, DECISIONS, boasts 13 songs that tell their story.

To quote their review in BILLBOARD MAGAZINE;

"While the environment for instantly accessible melodic music is often hostile at top 40 radio these days, one must remain optimistic that true talent will rise to the top. THE BEU SISTERS demonstrate enormous versatility on their upcoming DECISIONS. All involved should pop the champagne cork for an effort that radiates joy, humor, passion, and artful, unaffected singing. These gals are simply wonderful."

THE BEU SISTERS; Candice, Christie, Jilaine and Danielle, have created their vision hands-on.

Simply put, there is nobody like THE BEU SISTERS in music today.

For these gifted girls and their four siblings, the story began in New York City. Both of their parents have been in show business their whole lives; each performing in a myriad of successful productions, from Broadways "THE HAPPY TIME" where their parents met, to the innovative hit show, "A CHORUS LINE"(one of the characters is based on their father, Andy Beu) To numerous touring companies of the hit musical "SUGAR"(their mother, Mary Ann OReilly played the lead role).

Theirs was an unconventional yet incredibly secure early life, spent growing up backstage, and touring with their parents.They observed the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of a career in the entertainment industry. The girls are fourth generation songwriters and performers.

In 1989 the family relocated to a coastal town in Florida. The lifestyle suited them, and as soon as they became settled each of the girls individual talents started to flourish. Candice was painting, drawing, and garnering local awards for her early art work; Christie took up surfing (a passion that would lead her to take first place at the Womens East Coast Surfing Championships at Sabastian Inlet in 2000); Jilaine was showing a strong interest in costume design and dress making; and Danielle was simply enjoying life at the beach, studying at home and spending time with her big sisters.

Everything at the Beu household was both productive and artistically stable until 1994, when their parents divorced, changing their lives, and shifting the focus of the family.

Inevitably they drew even closer--and music, which had always been their bond, took on a greater importance. Their mother used the music as a means to keep them focused on the future, instead of looking back at what they had lost.

"Danielle was only six years old when we first sang together - all four of us girls and Mom," recalls Jilaine, "But even then we all knew there was magic in it. Music gave us something to work for: a time when we wouldnt have to worry what tomorrow would bring."

她们没什么资金，一起小打小闹，妈妈和Christie筹集1996年她们剪辑的母带，包括母亲写的4首原创歌曲。Scraping together what little money they had, Mom and Christie financed the demos they cut in 1996, containing four original songs written by their Mom. Through nurturing and encouragement the girls evolved into consummate songwriters in their own right. These demos provided the cornerstone on which they began to build their act. They practiced in their living room and developed dance routines in front of a large mirror just big enough to see all of them. Matching costumes were assembled by buying five of the same outfit that Mom would tailor to fit each girl, using the left over material from Danielles dress to create a mini copy for their baby sister, who often performed their closing number with them. Most of their meager budget went into their shoes. Mom being a dancer, knew the importance of "good" dance shoes, for safety and comfort. And when the girls all wore red shoes for a performance, Candice took a pair of baby Gabrielles white sandals and painted them with red nail polish to match her big sisters red shoes. Everything was a team effort.

With Christie at the helm, arranging the vocal parts, The Beu Sisters learned most of their songs a cappella, singing ideas back and forth. As a result, through this combination of improvisation and intuition, their harmonies developed a synchronicity that makes their sound both fresh and distinctive.

Through all the adversities, The Beu Sisters could not be stopped. Hard work and perseverance, began to pay off. Soon they were opening for various recording stars, garnering rave reviews every time they played.

The next step was to put together a professional quality video of their live performance that would be used as a promotional tool, to help them get a deal. After months of mailings, and the faith that this was their destiny, their last tape ended up in the hands of Desmond Child ( famed for co-writing hits for KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Cher and Ricky Martin). Three days later, a call came asking them to audition at Childs Miami home.

The girls took on the challenge, with only a two day notice.

An exciting, but nervous drive to Miami, gave way to a warm welcome from their host. They performed their best material under unusual yet magical conditions. Upon arriving they had no idea that they had been invited to sing at Desmonds Christmas party. So with no sound system, only the acoustics from his beautiful living room, and lit by the light of a fourteen foot tall Christmas tree, the girls entertained Desmond and his high profile guests. From total stillness to thunderous applause, the girls were affirmed by their future peers. The champagne was popped and a second visit was set up at Childs home a few months later. This time in the girls honor. This was their destined meeting with Steve Greenberg, President of the newly formed S-Curve Records (recognized as a Grammy Award winning producer and for discovering the 10X platinum Hansons and The 4X platinum Baha Men). The result of that meeting was a recording contract with S-Curve Records.

Their first album titled Decisions, received rave reviews.

The Beu Sisters have written with such notables as Victoria Shaw, Shelly Peiken, Rick Neigher, Dan Miller, Matthew Wilder, Billy Mann, Bruce Smith, Oliver Leiber, Jeremy Rezumna and Dave Wilder.
