Website: http://www.selasee.com Music: http://www.myspace.com/selasee "His single, "Run", is sure to become an international hit." Dominique Leguern, General Director, MIDEM "Run," written by Selasee Atiase, was awarded First Place in the World Music category at the 2005International Songwriting Competition (ISC)'s held on Monday.

Born in Accra, Ghana, Atiase started playing guitar and performing with his local church group in his early teenage years. He graduated from the School of Performing Arts at the University of Ghana, Legon in 1999 and has been performing and recording since then. In addition to the ISC win, another big break for the song "Run" came at the 2005 Midem in Cannes, France, where the song was chosen for the soundtrack of the "Fifa 2006" video game by EA Sports. His debut album, recorded by Running Dream Records, is receiving airplay across the U.S., Germany, and Ghana. "When Electronic Arts Inc. bought Selasee's single Run for its FIFA 2006 soccer game,... sales of his first album have taken off since the game's October launch; iTunes and Napster now stock it." "His career is rocketing because of the FIFA 2006." (Laurence Frost, Associated Press, January 26, 2006) Selasee has just returned from a trip to Ghana, where he made an appearance at the "Ghana Music Awards". He has also been selected recently to showcase at the famous "Viper Room" during the prestigious MUSEXPO event at Hollywood, California, in May 2006. About Running Dream Records Running Dream Records, from Montréal, has been created to promote the growing career of Selasee, world music and pop-reggae singer/songwriter.
