Toward the end of the 80’s Ralph created the idea of ‘The World of Art’. The idea was to re-open the fantastic Montserrat Air Studios in an amazing environment. At the beginning of 2000 he found the perfect island -St. Maarten – the Friendly Island. Infrastructure, international Airport, Caribbean flair, nightlife, good restaurants, it was all there. Over the years several well-known producers and musicians joined the team and the idea grow into not only a record studio, but an Art City and an University for Media and Arts. In 2010 Ralph and his team found the perfect property in Dawn Beach, a 10 acre beautiful landscape. The place is very private and exclusive so that all the worlds elite music stars will feel extremely comfortable and creative. Ralph is a man that understands the creative genius process and for this reason he is building one of the worlds best recording and production facilities. Together with Blue Pie and the Blue Pie labels we will see a new era in music productions and recording. The new Montserrat Studios will be completely refurbished with a multimillion dollar make over. The studio is set to reopen in 2011. The “sleeping beauty” will awake to produce new music like never before. This will be music that will change the world forever. The Winds of Change Record label and the new Winds of Change Music Production house will be a hub of musical production, talent development and film sound track develop. Working with the best of the best, we are truly honoured to announce this new direction for Blue Pie.

As Damien Reilly says: ” This is a once in a life time opportunity that has presented itself to Blue Pie through our label partner Full Entertainment and their founder Stephen Wrench. Ralph and Stephen are great friends and with my background in systems development and the catalogue that Blue Pie has developed we all make a great team and we are very complimentary to each others skill sets. I am looking forward to the next decade of music production and talent development with Winds of Change Records. This has been one of the greatest moments and highlights of my life to be able to complete and a ground breaking agreement like this for the company. Thanks of course goes to Stephen for getting Ralph and I together. “
