Malou Beauvoir, is a captivating, highly emotive singer-songwriter and actor who brings to her artistry the unique amalgamation of her multi-cultural influences and experiences. A citizen of the world, she has lived in the US, Europe and Haiti, and traveled extensively; each culture she has encountered has impacted and informed her in different ways, reinforcing her openness to different perspectives and forms of spirituality.

Born in Chicago to Haitian parents, Malou was raised in New York. She moved to Paris at a young age to attend the American University and pursue her artistic passions. Juggling both art and business while earning an MBA and a senior position in the high-tech industry, by the end of the 1990s she devoted herself exclusively to singing and acting, securing engagements in venues around the world — from Dubai to Rio, Beirut, London, and Paris, where she performed for two years as lead singer at the renowned Paradis Latin. She currently splits her time between Brussels and New York, continuing to travel around the world.

Beauvoir’s acting career has included roles in Stephen Frears’ Oscar-winning The Queen, Élisabeth Rappeneau’s Paul et ses Femmes, in which she plays Agnes, a jazz singer (Beauvoir wrote the song she performs in the film), Christian Carion’s Farewell, and the hit TV series, Perception. She is currently filming Season 2 of  SPELLBOUND, a HULU/Cottonwood Media teen TV series in Paris.

Malou has enjoyed a diverse recording career ranging from featured Universal France artist to collaborations with jazz, electro and pop artists, resulting in 5 independently released jazz albums and many collaborations.

Spiritwalker (2018), her sixth recording, co-produced by Chico Boyer and Cheff Loncher, is a tribute to her Haitian culture and roots, inspired both by contemporary social & political issues, and by the ancient spirits of Haiti.

“Papa Damballah” from the SPIRITWALKER album was featured in the end credits of Suzan Beraza’s poignant documentary “MASSACRE RIVER : Woman without a Country”. “Nwaye” co-written with Paul Beaubrun, was among the winners of the International Songwriting Competition in 2019 and the Vodou  infused single “Rasenbleman” has raised a rallying cry for Haitians all over the world.

Beauvoir’s 2022 release, “Kenbem”,(Peer Music/Universal), is the official creole adaptation of the Brendan Graham/ Rolf Lovland classic You Raise Me up. In her lyrics, she alludes to the relationship between Vaudou and the Christian faith in Haiti, offering a healing balm for both.

Beauvoir has performed internationally, sharing the stage with renowned musicians including Benny Wallace, Donald Vega, Danny Mixon, Terrell Stafford and Hernan Riley and has donated her performances, productions and support to non-profit organizations who are working to make this world a better place.

This includes performances for the Tibet Fund Gala in NY, the Fonkoze Gala in L.A,  Back Country Jazz fundraiser, “Roots for Development” Fundraiser and many others.

New Holiday Animated Short “No Chimney? No Problem!”

Veteran Disney creative leader and writer director Marilyn Magness teams up with producer Lou Murray to deliver a warm 2D Christmas story for kids and families.

A new 2D animated holiday short is coming to YouTube just in time for Christmas. “No Chimney? No Problem!” is an approximately 11 minute film from NOXNOP, a micro entertainment studio co created by writer director Marilyn Magness and producer Lou Murray.

Blending classic holiday heart with a modern family setting, “No Chimney? No Problem!” follows a child who discovers there is no chimney where they are spending Christmas. Convinced that Santa will never find them, panic sets in until a magical book, a little bit of North Pole know how, and the power of belief show that Santa has a way to reach every child, no matter where they live.

“Growing up, I loved the feeling that Christmas magic could find you anywhere,” said writer director Marilyn Magness. “Today many kids live in apartments, condos, townhouses, or blended households. I wanted to tell a story that reassures them that they are seen, loved, and never ‘off the route’ for Santa. If this short makes even one child feel more included at Christmas, it will have done its job.”

“No Chimney? No Problem!” was created by a small international team using a nimble, AI supported workflow. Animation was crafted by 2D animator Cris Moras, with original music score, sound design, and final mix by Scott Erickson. The film also features the holiday song “When You Believe in Santa Claus,”  by Jason Freese released earlier this season on major streaming platforms.

“In a matter of weeks, we built a micro studio from our laptops and brought a full animated short to life,” said producer and NOXNOP co founder Lou Murray. “For years I worked in large scale live entertainment, arenas, and theme parks. This project is proof that you do not always need a giant machine to make something that feels special. With the right story, the right collaborators, and smart use of new tools, a tiny team can still create something joyful and rewatchable for families everywhere.”

The short is designed to be a “put it on and let it play” holiday piece that parents can feel good about sharing with their kids. Warm colors, classic 2D animation, and a story centered on love, inclusion, and belief aim to give families a new tradition they can return to each year.

“We created NOXNOP to tell hopeful stories that children will want to watch again and again,” added Magness. “This is our first chapter, and we are already dreaming about the next ones.”

Lou is an XP Land and WXO Council Member as well as the Co Founder of NOXNOP.

Carol Connors is one of the most influential and boundary-breaking songwriters of the last six decade —an artist whose work shaped pop, rock, and Hollywood film music at a time when few women were allowed into the writing rooms.

Her career began at 16½, when she became the unmistakable voice of The Teddy Bears, singing the Phil Spector–penned global No. 1 hit “To Know Him Is To Love Him.” In the 1960s, she made history again as the co-writer of “Hey Little Cobra,” still the only major hot-rod hit written by a woman reaching the top of the charts in a male-dominated genre.

Connors’ most defining achievement came in 1976 when she co-wrote “Gonna Fly Now,” the electrifying theme to Rocky, alongside Bill Conti and Ayn Robbins. The song earned an Academy Award® nomination, helped turn Rocky into a worldwide phenomenon, and remains one of the most iconic musical themes in cinematic history. She continued shaping the musical identity of the franchise with iconic contributions to Rocky II, III, IV, Rocky Balboa and Creed.

Her wide-ranging work includes the original songs for Walt Disney’s The Rescuers, the international ballad “With You I’m Born Again”, music for Orca, The Killer Whale, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and the beloved Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous theme performed by Dionne Warwick.

In 2025, Connors released her memoir Elvis, Rocky & Me, brought to audio format with producer David Longoria and narrated by Kathy Garver. The audiobook is now a 2026 GRAMMY® nominee.

From pop stages to Hollywood studios, Carol Connors remains a pioneering force—and a woman whose work continues to inspire generations.

The enormous success of that song was the start of a career that is still going strong. She has written music for Dionne Warwick and Billy Preston and has seen her songs covered by Mariah Carey and John Legend. Among Carol’s proudest accomplishments is her co-writing the Oscar-nominated theme Gonna Fly Now for the blockbuster film Rocky.

Carol’s personal life is every bit as fascinating as her show business career. While she never chose to marry, she’s dated such famous names as Elvis Presley, Robert Culp and David Janssen. Today, she continues to lead an active and productive lifestyle with her dedicated charity work and taking time to enjoy even the simple pleasures.
