"Don't Be Afraid" the new 10 song album by Ian, Release date March 14th, 2006. Exclusively on iTunes Music Store.

On this new record, Ian celebrates the things that make his life special. Gratitude, admiration and love are fundamental themes that run through the songs. The stirringly moody rendition of "Right Here Right Now" on which he is joined by Ken Oak and his cello, make you ponder where you are with your own life?

The single going to radio is "Greatest Country." They say immigrants are more patriotic than those who are born and grow up in a country. Ian came to the USA in 1991 and became a citizen in 2000. "For me, America has given me more opportunity than I could have ever imagined. Don't get me wrong, I love England, but for what I wanted out of life I had to make the move."

"Alis Love" is not just a love song to his wife but a glowing reflection of who she is from her friends and family. Allison sings on several songs on the album including "God Sends His Angels" and "Rainbow Parakeet."

The title track "Don't Be Afraid" reaches out to all those who dont feel loved or don't think they will find in relationships the love they want. Love will find you many ways...

Overall it is a solid record that should touch a chord with many of us as we make our way through this wonderful life!

Burn Brightly, Ian's debut solo record is a tribute to all who live full lives and try to beat the odds. With a wealth of experience on the international music scene as an artist, producer and label executive, English expatriate Ian now steps forward with his debut solo record Burn Brightly, an exciting new collection of original material on GCG.

The albums focus track "Fields of England", is a tribute to Ians homeland. His dedication to England's beauty is reflected in the lyric "To a special place my heart goes with grace/Somewhere in this world" and in its accompanying quote, from Sir Winston Churchill We shall never surrender.

Though he has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard and Hits magazines, this producer/label executive remains a bit of a mystery. Taken as a whole, Burn Brightly is a puzzle designed to hint at and expose the enigmatic Ian. Each song is accompanied by quotes and stories of influential international inspirational figures such as Amelia Airhart, John F. Kennedy, Mother Teresa, all who have Burned Brightly in their lives.

He launched the American FMA in 1997.

"This business of music is an emotionally hazardous journey not a physical destination. I am passionate about what I do and I do it because I want to do it."
