Bio
A global phenomenon to generations of fans, Alvin and The Chipmunks have sold more than 45 million albums worldwide and won six Grammy awards. They continue to engage audiences with animated television shows, feature films, album releases and video games. The original motion picture soundtrack ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS (Razor & Tie/Bagdasarian Productions/FOX Music) has been certified platinum, making it the first platinum record for The Chipmunks since 1993. Released in November of 2007, the soundtrack has spent 56 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 album chart, peaking at #5 and has also sold over 1.7 million digital tracks. The album also recently won an American Music Awards for Favorite Album - Soundtrack category.
Produced by Ali Dee (Mya, Shakira), the soundtrack showcases The Chipmunks' signature sound and modern takes on rock, pop, reggae and hip hop. The 20th Century Fox live action/CGI motion picture Alvin and The Chipmunks was a smash hit last year with over $360 million box office gross worldwide and was one of the top selling DVDs of 2008 in the United States with over 8 million in sales. Alvin and The Chipmunks is the highest grossing talking animal or live action cartoon adaptation on record. On Christmas Day, 2009, 20th Century Fox and Bagdasarian Productions will release Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.
In November 2008 Razor & Tie Entertainment released UNDENIABLE, the first new non-soundtrack Chipmunks album in over 10 years. This new album, produced by Ross Bagdasarian, Janice Karman, and Ali Dee, features covers of major hits as well as four new Chipmunk originals. Standout songs include a remix of "We're The Chipmunks" (the theme song from the popular cartoon series), a moving version of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds," an epic take on Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer," an inspired version of Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll," and a new Chipmunk original written by Janice Karman, "Ho, ho, ho." Rising pop star Drew Seeley (High School Musical soundtracks, Another Cinderella Story) is also featured on a duet of the classic disco hit "Shake Your Groove Thing."
