Career
Raven Quinn released her first solo album "Raven Quinn" on 4 March 2010.[2] It soon became a success and number one on Amazon's "Movers and Shakers" charts (charts Amazon's fastest selling digital albums) and held top 100 chart positions in Rock and MP3 albums in general within the first twelve hours of release.
The album was produced with Dan Brodbeck who previously worked with Dolores O'Riordan. O'Riordan introduced Brodbeck and Quinn.
The songs from Quinn's debut album have different characters. Beneath some dark and brooding goth rock tracks ("The Window" and "Giving Up the Ghost") there are also light, ethereal and angelic ballads ("Ballerina In a Music Box"). The album leads through Quinn's psyche and shows the light and darkness in everyone's life. Her strong and unique voice gives the album its special character.
Quinn is now working on her second album which is entitled Not In Vain. Quinn released an album teaser video with snippets of the tracks "Not In Vain"[3] and "Atypical" in May 2012. In December of 2012, Quinn released a digital EP entitled "Demos & Rarities Part I"[4] a collection of demo recordings and previously unreleased tracks which were recorded during the making of her debut album. In October of 2013, Quinn released the title track "Not In Vain"[5] from her forthcoming second album of the same name, and announced that it would be the album's first single. Three of Quinn's songs are available for Rock Band: Decadence, The Window, and Catalyst.
