Anime Boston 2013 Announces its Next Round of Guests
Northeast's largest anime convention to welcome new faces
Boston – David Matranga, will be attending Anime Boston at the Hynes Convention Center, Boston, Mass. on May 24 through May 26, 2013.
Olga Yakovleva, better known under the moniker ORIGA, is a Russian vocalist, born in a small town of Kochenevo in the Novosibirsk Region of Russia. Her music studies began when she was 5 and at age 11, she was invited to appear on a children's TV program to perform a song she had written. From that time on, her studies of voice and composition have never stopped.
During her education at the Novosibirsk Musical College (1986-1990), she participated in various themed- based festivals and competitions, refining her own style as a popular singer on stage. In December of 1990, she went to Japan on a 3-month personal invitation and took part in several festivals in the City of Sapporo as a representative of Russian culture. At the same time, she signed a contract with the ROAD & SKY Company, and, in May of 1994, she went to Tokyo to record her first album and launch her career as a singer and composer.
Anime fans may recognize her as the vocalist for all three opening themes of the popular anime series “Fantastic Children”, and more recently the video game “Final Fantasy XIII-2”.
Raj Ramayya is an Indo-Canadian singer, composer and lyricist based in Marin County, California.
His claim to anime fame would be his musical collaborations with famed Japanese composer Yoko Kanno as a member of The Seatbelts. Raj sang the opening credits song "Ask DNA" and wrote the lyrics for "Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol)" from the fan favourite feature film CAPCOM.
Ramayya has been featured as a guest vocalist/composer with several distinguished artists, ranging from talented composers Yōko Kanno (YMO) and Ron Sexsmith, and everyone in- between. His work has won him multiple awards and critical acclaim from around the world.
Among his other projects are the electronic Indian fusion music project "Bhang Lassi", the alternative Indian-influenced folk rock band "The Beautiful Losers", and session singing for products ranging from Asahi Beer and KFC, to Super Milk-chan to name a few.
Previously announced guests were Kari Wahlgren.
