As you may know, we have been trying to “Get Hollie Steel a Record Deal” for a little while now, and it seems our wishes may have been answered as Rolf Harris has expressed an interest in singing a duet with the little songstress.

Hollie Steel Has A Record Deal!
I’m pleased to announce that Hollie Steel does indeed now have a record deal, or will shortly. She will be signing the record contract at the studio in the next couple of weeks. Her manager, Kane, is signing her to one of his labels VVR2 records, part of Vines Vinyl Records.
Unfortunately, the album was initially financed by the Steels as Kane became Hollie’s manager a little late in the day, as most of you already know.
Nevertheless, we can all look forward to a big release of the album and lots of press coverage.
Hollie Steel Record Deal – Setting the Record Straight
There seems to have been some confusion about whether Hollie has a record deal or not, some of you know that Hollie has been in a recording studio, or perhaps read the entry on Wikipedia, and assumed that Hollie already has a record deal. This is not the case. Nina Steel has been kind enough to bring us up to date about the current situation.
There seems to be a little misunderstanding regarding Hollie and a recording contract. Hollie up to date hasn’t signed a record deal, we as a family are contacting as many classical labels as possible over the next month in the hope that someone will come forward.
In the meantime Hollie is spending some time in a local recording studio getting 12/13 songs ready, just in case a deal doesnt happen. If she doesnt receive any offers we will endeavour to release the 12/13 tracks ourselves on a smaller scale. Hopefully this should be before the end of this year.
Hollie had her first day in the studio last week and she had a wonderful time. We hope you all like the songs she’s choosen.
lots of love
Nina and Hollie xx
As you know, I was lucky enough to hear Hollie’s recorded version of Nessun Dorma and I cannot believe that she won’t be signed up as soon as the record companies hear it – it was amazing.
Hollie Steel and Rolf Harris Duet on the Cards?
Rolf Harris, who is now an amazing 79 years old, has previously had top 10 hits with Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport; Two Little Boys and Stairway To Heaven; although my own favourite is Jake the Peg which was voted the fourth best Australian song of all time.
Hollie’s mum Nina Steel, told the Daily Mirror: “We have just heard that Rolf wants to do a single with her.
“It’s a new song that Rolf has written about a grandfather and granddaughter. Obviously, we’re delighted. Hollie would love to record an album, so we really hope this will lead to other things.
“Hollie is a big fan of Rolf, especially when he was doing Animal Hospital.”
The Lancashire Telegraph has furnished a few more details about the song. Written by Rolf, it is called “Opa Jaki”.
Nina said: “It is a very sweet song and we are definitely going to go for it. We are just waiting for the music to come though so she can learn her part.
“This offer from Rolf Harris would be a good opportunity for Hollie and may help her to keep a high profile. We have been contacted by people from all over the world wondering and asking when she is going to do a CD and the support we have had from the public has been great.”
My thanks to Kevin for bringing this story to my attention.
