Biography
Dreamworld are best known for their 1995 debut single "Movin' Up”. The song was a pop hit in both Sweden[1] and Australia,[2] where the single was certified gold.[3] “Movin' Up” was also a club hit in Europe and the USA, where it peaked at number 30 on the dance chart.[4] It has since been covered by Dannii Minogue (for her "Girl" album) and by Mexican artist Paulina Rubio (as "Despiertate" on her "Planeta Paulina" album).
In October 1995 came their second single "Unreal". The music video for the single was directed by Patric Ullaeus. A remix CD entitled "The Unreal Remixes" was released later. Their only album, Heaven Sent, was released in 1996. Their two last singles "Everytime I Fall (For Your Eyes)" and "Holdin' On" were less successful.
In 1997, the group decided to stop the band project and they created their own production team, Dreamworld Productions. A*Teens, Supernatural, Lucy Street, Dannii Minogue, Mirah, Infernal, Carina, Paulina Rubio and Jeans were some of the artists that recorded songs written by Dreamworld Productions. They have produced or made remixes for Cartoons, Tiggy, and Los Umbrellos as well.
