August 13, 2010 - Sensational Los Angeles-based soul singer Dessy Di Lauro will be performing at the televised opening ceremonies of the World Basketball Championships in Istanbul, Turkey on August 27th, 2010.

You may have seen her perform with the Cirque du Soleil arena touring show, Delirium, in 2006 at The Staples Center, hung up 50 feet in the air in a 120 foot gown as she sang in 5 different languages.

Her producer, musical director, keyboardist and husband Ric'key Pageot, founder of CrazyglueMusic, is also an accomplished musician having recently toured with Madonna (Sticky and Sweet Tour), Diana Ross (More Today Than Yesterday Tour) and Cirque du Soleil's Delirium as musical director. He will also be performing on piano and accordion alongside his wife at the FIBA ceremonies.

Upon their return to Los Angeles, they are scheduled to perform a VIP showcase of their own original material from their upcoming album at the Key Club's Plush Lounge on Oct 9th, 2010.

Dessy and Ric'key have been working hard in the studio and on stage for the past year honing their own new style of music, self-described as soul melodies over ear-catching stride piano riffs driven by modern hip hop grooves. The result is a classic contemporary sound that is sure to fill the radio airwaves in the near future.
