Award winning Christchurch top 40 pop singer Yulia announces engagement to Manager & TV & Film Composer Glyn MacLean.

Yulia rose to fame with the albums Into the West and Montage achieving 6 times platinum status
with two number one hits. She has previously won Tui's for "Best Female Artist" and "Album of the Year".

Glyn and Yulia are co writing up to 50 songs to present to producers in UK in a bid to get a multi million
dollar global music export deal through top producer David Howells. The London based music publisher
and former reggae star Bruce Ruffin, believes that Yulia has a great chance of winning the deal.

An accomplished songwriter himself, one of Glyn's songs was the single that scored another NZ female artist a deal with EMI UK. Glyn rose to fame on TV1 Close Up in 2005 when his home recorded music went up against James Blunt and David Gray for the TV series Las Vegas. He has 9 songs licensed in Hollywood and has been offered a record deal in UK for his instrumental music. His tune "Rain Cloud & the Sunshine" with Swiss Cellist
and Model Debora Zeier is currently number one in Adult Contemporary category at www.amplifier.co.nz.

The couple has raised finance by selling shares in Glyn's company to David McLaughlin who was a party involved in Holly Smith's deal with Blue Note. Yulia and Glyn aim to focus on writing award winning hit songs over the next three months.
