In part fantasy, part weaver of magic, part willow the wisp: Candice Night. For 15 years she has been entwining lyrics based on legend with reflections of ourselves in her words set to music to transport the listener to another realm. She is emulated by children, young mothers, and all women young at heart throughout Europe, Asia, and North America. History: This international recording star was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and is often dubbed "one of the most beautiful women in the world" by the international media. She is frequently identified as a mix of Karen Carpenter's voice and a young Stevie Nicks, for her flowing skirts, but her ethereal voice and lyrics are all her own. As a front woman for the band Blackmore's Night, she also plays 7 medieval instruments on stage, lending to the excitement and mysticism of the music of her group. Candice Night sang background for Deep Purple in 1993; and on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow CD Stranger in Us All, she co-wrote four songs. She received a gold record in Japan for her co-writing efforts and one of her songs, Black Masquerade, was chosen as Best Song Of The Year in 1995. Her song Ariel won accolades in Europe and charted at # 2, as well as being the official German soccer song, and Black Masquerade was # 1 in Japan. She then wrote lyrics for the songs for the 1st Blackmore's Night album, Shadow of the Moon which earned her a 2nd gold record in 1997. Since then, she has been awarded gold records and other awards for her writing and performances in Blackmore's Night as well as for Rainbow, and has charted consecutively with each CD. The Blackmore's Night CD Shadow Of The Moon immediately went gold in Japan and stayed high in the European charts for 16 weeks. Two years later, Under A Violet Moon was released and won the "vocal album of the year award" in USA. In 2003, Fires at Midnight won the NAV Best Vocal Album awards, went gold in Europe and they also won video music awards. In 2003, Ghost Of A Rose was gold in Europe and won "vocal album of the Year" again in USA. Their DVD Castles And Dreams was picked up by PBS in the USA and aired on TV throughout America. It went gold in Germany shortly after release. In 2006, The Village Lanterne entered the charts in Germany and Japan, riding high for several months. Their next DVD: Paris Moon, filmed at a sold out performance at the famous Olympia in Paris, France, was voted number one DVD and CD by New Age Reporter and NPR stations. Then came their holiday CD, Winter Carols, which was acclaimed "Best Holiday CD" and spawned their single Christmas Eve, that entered number #37 on AC Radio Billboard charts. In 2009 their CD Secret Voyage won best vocal album of the year and entered the Billboard New Age charts at number #1. It stayed in the top 10 for an unprecedented 72 weeks. Her newest Blackmore's Night CD Autumn Sky entered Billboard's New Age charts at number #1 and 15 weeks later remains in the top 5! Candice continues to widen her musical horizons not only writing lyrics and singing, but playing medieval instruments: shawm, cornamuse, rauschpfeife, pennywhistle, and chanters to name a few. Over the course of 7 studio albums, much critical acclaim and accolades, and many tours around the planet she can also be heard as guest vocalist for Helloween's 1st ever duet on their CD Keeper Of The 7 Keys on their hit song Light The Universe; with Tarja of Nightwish on Promises Under The Rain; with Glenn Hughes in The Story Of Aina and on The Infinity Project. She also sang on the latest William Shatner CD, on his version of Space Oddity being released in Summer 2011. Those who have delighted in her performances include Sarah Brightman, Bea Arthur, Cuba Gooding Jr, Frank Zander, and Hugh Jackman. Candice was discovered by the Faerie Festivals in the USA when she graced the cover of Faerie
