Roxy biography

Roxy is a Croatian Hi-NRG / Eurodance group established in the end of 80's by Goran Frančić, a choreographer, dancer, dancing teacher and ex DJ, born in 1969 in Zagreb.

Initially, Roxy was created as a dancing group. Goran, the leader of the group, was a great fan of Italo-disco, Hi-NRG and Eurodance music and knew Denis Curman for a long time. When Curman decided to deal with the Croatian music scene in 1994, the logical step was to turn Roxy into dance-attraction and to make some great Eurodance music.

Curman produced and composed the album called Sve Sto Si Znao, Zaboravi (Forget Everything You Knew) released in 1996. It was a genuine hi-nrg / eurodance master-piece. Curman developed the original and recognizable music style which could not be compared to anything else. All tracks were a mixture of Hi-Energy, Eurodance and the elements of Techno-house. The most popular tracks were : Da Li Opet Lazes (Do You Lie Again), Sve Sto Si Znao (Everything You Knew), Crno Je (It's Black), A Sada Nema Te (And Now You're Gone) and Boli Me Uspomena (Memory Hurts Me).

The main female vocalist was named Sanja Majnaric (at this time, aged of only 17). Second rapper was Marin Klobučar. Goran and Sanja were the constant members of the group on their live appearances. The other members were often changed, as well as their number which depended on how large the stage was. Every live performance was a great experience for fans. Each track had an original dance choreography created by Goran himself. The most successful concert was held in September of 1996 in discotheque "The Best" in Zagreb.

In 1997 a video-clip was shot for a track Boli Me Uspomena (Memory Hurts Me), but it was shown only few times on HTV (which was already invaded by popular musical styles such as pop-folk, funk, or rock). In the whole, the album wasn't successful, just because the Croatian audience was stlll under great influence of Balkans and they were not ready to accept eurodance style. They also suffered from the competition of cheap pop-dance artists such as ET, Emilia, Kasandra, or Senna M. In spite of his international reputation, Denis Curman remained unknown to most of the Croatians.

The release of a CD maxi was planned the following year... A promo CD for the song Ne Vraćaj Se (a Croation cover of Fuze - You Are My Only Love) was released in 1998.

2013 : Goran was still composing music. His most recent release was Your eyes featuring Cinthie Laouper. He published his latest creations on his Reverbnation page.

2015 : Roxy published 2 new albums : With My Fire and Viva La Noche. But the songs were actually slowed down versions of eurobeat songs, most of them published under SAIFAM label Asia records a few years earlier, but also Jenny Rom songs.

Not to be confused with the Canadian artist Roxxy
