Pop Reviews Now Names "Love Struck" One Of The Best Songs Of The Year!

"And the American boybands keep it coming. Love Struck was a favorite among the blogs this year and I personally adore the damn song. Actually, it sounds like something that would work in kpop if they sped it up and added a complicated dance routine. Great melody albeit the slightly boring instrumental but I do think that V Factory have good, solid vocals. Not like NLT who I think have the best vocals of the pack but good enough."

Warner Bros. Records` Pop Vocal Group V Factory Nominated for Two 2009 StarShine Magazine Music Awards

Warner Bros. Records` Pop Vocal Group V Factory Nominated for Two 2009 StarShine Magazine Music Awards, Including "Favorite Band/Group"

Debut Single "Love Struck" Nominated for "Best Dance Song"

Warner Bros. Records` buzzed-about pop vocal group V Factory have been nominated for two 2009 StarShine Magazine Music Awards, including a nod for "Favorite Band/Group." The group`s first single, "Love Struck," has also been nominated for "Best Dance Song."

StarShine Magazine`s nominees were chosen by president and editor Sandy Lo and assistant editor Sa`iyda Shabazz. Established in 2001, StarShine is an online entertainment publication that brings its readers closer to their favorite stars of today and future stars of tomorrow and has been known to feature many artists before they become famous, like Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers. V Factory has been featured on the site www.starshinemag.com

"Love Struck," the lead-off track from V Factory`s upcoming self-titled debut album, aired for the first time on Radio Disney and cruised straight to Top 40 radio stations nationwide. After impacting more than 45 pop radio stations in a month, "Love Struck" has sold upwards of 107,000 digital tracks and was downloaded 150,000 times after being featured as a free "Discover and Download" on iTunes in March. V Factory was also crowned "Artist to Watch" on all Clear Channel pop station websites.

V Factory is: Asher Book, Wesley Quinn, Nick Teti, Jared Murillo and Nathaniel Flatt. Jared, a soft-spoken 20-year-old from Mapleton, UT, is now known to legions of young fans for his appearances as a featured dancer in High School Musical, its nationwide tour, and High School Musical II. Wesley Quinn, from Greenville, SC, is, at 19, the group`s youngest and most fun-loving member. 25-year-old Philadelphia, PA, native Nick Teti, known by his nickname Nicky T, got his start doing musical theater in high school then taught himself to dance while in college. Nathaniel Flatt, 27, from Cookeville, TN, got his start acting in local plays and eventually found his way into musical theater. Asher Book - a
charismatic 20-year-old from Arlington, VA - got his big break at an open
casting call for the theatrical production of Disney`s Beauty and the Beast. Cast in the principal role of Chip the Teacup, Asher traveled the U.S. on tour with the show for two and a half years - playing the character for longer than any other actor in the show`s touring history. Asher Book is currently starring in the reinvention of the 1980 Oscar-winning motion picture Fame, which hit theaters in September.

'Fame' Stars Asher Book And Naturi Naughton Will Colloborate On V Factory's Next Single, 'Get Up'

"The effects of “Fame” are already being felt — literally and figuratively — for some of the stars of Friday’s showstopping movie release. On the VH1 Diva’s red carpet last week, Asher Book confirmed to MTV News that his boy band V Factory is about to release its second single, which will be feature a special sound: the powerful vocals of Asher’s “Fame” costar Naturi Naughton.

The idea for the collaboration on the song, which is called “Get Up,” began on the set of the upcoming musical. “We built the relationship and then afterward, you know, she just has such a phenomenal voice and we thought it would be cool to have a female vocalist on [the track] to see how that would sound, so it came out good,” Asher recalls. As far as the rest of the V Factory album goes, Asher says it will probably be out around October or early November. “We’re just trying to get the single out first,” he adds. V Factory, be warned, we have a feeling your fan base is about to grow a lot bigger come this Friday when Asher struts his stuff on the big screen."

Be sure to check out the video here.

Behind The Scenes Of "Fame"

"A reinvention of the original 1980 hit film, Fame follows a talented group of dancers, singers, actors, and artists over four years at the New York City High School of Performing Arts, a diverse, creative powerhouse where students from all walks of life are given a chance to live out their dreams and achieve real and lasting fame...the kind that comes only from talent, dedication, and hard work. In an incredibly competitive atmosphere, plagued by self-doubt, each student's passion will be put to the test. In addition to their artistic goals, they have to deal with everything else that goes along with high school, a tumultuous time full of schoolwork, deep friendships, budding romance, and self-discovery. As each student strives for his or her moment in the spotlight, they'll discover who among them has the innate talent and necessary discipline to succeed. With the love and support of their friends and fellow artists, they'll find out who amongst them will achieve Fame..."

VH1's Save The Music Foundation Donation

Yesterday, the NEW PS22 Chorus of 2010 got a visit from Naturi Naughton, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, Kherington Payne, and Asher Book -- the castmembers from the upcoming major motion picture, FAME!

Asher's Facebook Chat!

Thanks to http://www.vfactoryfans.com/ for the info!

Asher answered your questions yesterday on Facebook. You can find the chat on the Facebook page. There are somewhere around the 40 pages, so if you don't want to go trough all those pages. This is pretty much what he said:


He loved to shoot the movie "FAME" with his cast members and they can get a long great. It was a lot of fun. The filming took 4 months, in Los Angeles and in New York, "FAME" was the only audition he went to last year and after six months he heard he got the part of Marco. "Try" was his favorite song he sang in the movie and it was also his favorite scene to film. When he read the the script for the first time, he loved it and could relate to it. The other guys of V Factory supported him trough the filming process of the movie and he will be going to Europe to promote the movie.

Hawaii was his favorite place that V Factory performed. "Get Up" is his new favorite song to perform because he thinks it's more edgy and the dance is better than "Love Struck". If he could choose any artist he'd like to tour with V Factory, it would be Justin Timberlake because every member of V Factory likes him. V Factory's album may be released in October. They're going to be in New York soon for the 2009 VMA's.

Asher would rather on a vacation with his celebrity crush (Megan Fox?) than going on tour with Justin Timberlake. He likes to go to the gym, play basketball, hang with his friends, go to the movies and getting good fast food. When he was still going to high school, he took a little Spanish. He has two siblings, he's the "baby". Asher started acting when he was 7, as a Teacup in "Beauty and the Beast".

Examiner Interview with Asher

Examiner.com:

It’s been ten years since the height of the boy band craze of the late 90s and just when you think you got it all out of your system, here comes another one. V Factory has something different to offer though: street appeal, R&B beats, and an edginess that provokes you to dance like them (even though you won’t be able to catch up). Examiner.com spoke to lead singer Asher Book about the boy band craze that took the world by storm only a few short years ago and where they fit into today’s ever changing pop scene.

What makes you think you guys can make pop music cool again after the boy band bonanza just ten years ago?
Wow! Well, first off I think it’s been a nice gap that it has been ten years that they were in their prime. The only thing we can do, as a group, is to try to do something different. We choreograph all our numbers and we try to get involved in the music as much as possible.

V Factory’s first single, “Lovestruck” is gritty-urban sounding. Was that the band’s plan from the get go and is this an indicator of what the album will sound like?
We were trying to stray away from the whole boy band sound. When the public first heard the song, some were saying it sounded like Timbaland meets Justin Timberlake. I think that’s what we were going for. Our image is something different. It has edge appeal to it. We didn’t want to come out with matching outfits and singing harmonies. Our whole background is dance. Lovestruck sums up what most of our album sounds like.

When was your defining moment that you told your mom and dad that you wanted to be a pop star?
There was never really one defining moment for me. I starred on Broadway and that’s how I got into the business. I have always been singing my whole life. Warner Brothers asked me to step in for the lead singer position of V Factory and the rest was history. I never responded to an open call or anything like that. It kind of came naturally.

Fame is another endeavor of yours.
Yes. Fame the movie will be coming out nationally on September 26th and I will be playing one of the leads in it. I’m really excited for that as well.

V Factory Meets BSB!

Those fortunate enough to attend this year's BEAT STOCK (August 15th & 16th) not only will you see new-aged boyband, V Factory, but boyband phenomenon, "Backstreet Boys", will be performing too! What a learning experience for V Factory! Have fun everyone who goes!

The L.A.-based talent spoke with 210SA about singing with V Factory, advising contestants and whether or not he'll hop on the roller coasters at Fiesta Texas.

You're going to be performing alongside hopefuls in the "Fame National Talent Search." Do you have any advice to give them?

Yeah, just get out there. Definitely prepare something. Try not to wing it. If you really want something, you got to work for it. Definitely go for it. Don't hold back. If you feel like you have talent to show, show it.

How did you get involved with V Factory?

I was actually going to my freshman year of college at Azusa Pacific University and I was studying to be a business manager, like money manager type of guy. Basically, I was still taking vocal lessons...

...at the time but I was really putting it off a lot just because it was hard to juggle both. For some reason, one day I got a call from A&R of Warner Bros. Basically, they found me through this vocal coach who I was still coaching with who was well known. The next thing, they sent me some of their songs and whatnot. They flew out to meet me and got to do some demo work and go into the studio. The next thing you know, I was the lead singer of the group. Two years later, here we are today.
