Wishing to share some good news

Post by Torcan »

Here in Canada, we have an awards night called the Juno.
Similar to the Grammys
Canadians know what I am talking about.

Anyways, Last night Justin Bieber won 2011 Juno Award for Top Pop Album of the Year for "My World 2.0"

My nephew, Dan (August) Rigo was a writer for 3 of the songs on that album.
Needless to say, our family is pretty happy right now.
Dan (August) Rigo received a Platinum Award himself for the Song "U-Smile" on that Album.

He also wrote the lyrics and music for Iyaz "Solo"
He has worked with Enrique Iglesias, Cheryl Cole, Rhianna to name a few
