Tree Records' Canadian artist Istvan, who released his first Album in late April, 2009, has been awarded two Platinum Awards by Uplaya, an On-Line service that analyse the structures of the submitted recordings to establish the materials like "hit" potential. The System studies rifts, phrases and format and compares it's 'sgnatue' with past hit songs and issues an Award accordingly if the songs make the mark.

Istvan's Album "Clowns" has been awarded two Platinum Awards for the songs "More" and "Your Beauities In The Way". So far, digital sales of this Album's material tends to agree with the Uplaya conclusion with every track on the Album generating solid digital sales.

The hard copy of the Album has been issued in Canada on Istvan's own Publik Records Label and can be purchased On-Line at Tree Records' CD Baby Site as well as directly from the Publik Records website.

Istvan is currently performing 'live' in Quebec, Canada several Weekends a month and working on new material for his next Album.
