Armand & Paiva LLC Announce New Projects

Armand & Paiva LLC, co-founded by T.J. Armand and Carl H. Paiva, has announced a series of new global entertainment projects, including ventures in New York, London, and Bermuda.

A spokesperson said, “Armand & Paiva LLC, an entertainment company co-founded by award-winning producer T.J. Armand and esteemed Bermudian entrepreneur Carl H. Paiva JP, is proud to announce a series of exciting new projects across the globe. The New York-based company is renowned for its innovative contributions to the entertainment world, including concert productions, livestreams, album productions, and artist management. With new projects set for New York, London, and an upcoming venture in Bermuda, Armand & Paiva continues to expand its influence in the entertainment industry.

Leadership and Vision

“T.J. Armand, known for bringing Chaka Khan, The Manhattan Transfer, The Queen’s Six, and Tony nominee Mary Bridget Davies to Bermuda during his tenure as Executive Director of the Bermuda Festival in 2018, leads the New York-based company as Executive Producer. A full scholarship recipient from Berklee College of Music, Armand has received the prestigious E1 Visa “Genius” Award from the U.S. Government, which grants citizenship to artists with exceptional talent in the arts. His extensive portfolio includes producing albums for The Queen’s Six [From Windsor With Love], the internationally renowned vocal ensemble based at Windsor Castle, and Mary Bridget Davies [Don’t Compromise Yourself], known for her Tony-nominated portrayal of Janis Joplin in “A Night With Janis Joplin” on Broadway.

“Carl H. Paiva, co-founder and former CEO and owner of C Travel in Bermuda, complements this leadership with his deep-rooted passion for the arts. Following their involvement with Broadway shows such as The Great Comet starring Josh Groban [12 Tony Nominations] and Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along, the company started providing multiple services, including artist management, corporate and charity event management, album production, and developmental productions for upcoming plays and musicals. Initiatives for Bermuda are also in the works.

Recent Projects and Upcoming Ventures

“Despite the global challenges of recent pandemic years, Armand & Paiva LLC has remained resilient, continuing to deliver high-quality entertainment with a unique “boutique” approach. The company has successfully produced a range of albums, concerts, and developmental readings and is actively engaged in artist management, fostering talents across diverse musical genres and producing projects for their artists as Managing Producers. Notable projects include The Queen’s Six on CBS Sunday Morning for their New York City concert debut at Town Hall, and Virginia Woolf’s ‘A Room Of One’s Own’ starring Mary Bridget Davies—a play with music which is under development in association with the estate of Virginia Woolf and Bev Ragovoy. Six songs inspired by Woolf’s text [now featured on Davies’ compilation album] were written by Armand and Broadway veteran Mark Berman, received four stars from Broadway World, and were recorded at the iconic Power Station NYC, home for many legendary albums of top performers such as Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Madonna, and many a Broadway cast album including Hamilton.

“These projects have garnered significant media attention, with The Queen’s Six being featured by People Magazine, Late Night with Stephen Colbert, and Davies receiving publicity from The Evening Standard for her West End debut.

London Calling

“A significant upcoming highlight is the revival of Mary Bridget Davies’ acclaimed performance as Janis Joplin in London’s West End. The production, taking place at the Peacock Theatre from August 21 to September 28, promises a powerful portrayal of the iconic rock legend, attracting audiences from around the world. Davies performed a medley of songs from the show at West End Live last June.

“Looking ahead, Armand & Paiva LLC is set to announce its inaugural television series projects, marking a new chapter in the company’s expansion into television production. This exciting prospect is poised to introduce fresh, compelling content to a global audience, further establishing the company’s reputation as a formidable contender in the entertainment sector.

Expanding Horizons to Bermuda

“In an effort to bring world-class live entertainment to Bermuda, Armand & Paiva LLC will launch a new initiative in 2025. This venture will collaborate with Bermuda-based private companies and charities, underscoring the company’s commitment to quality live entertainment. The initiative will include private events for company functions, live entertainment for weddings, and fundraising events for Bermuda charities.”
