Heaven on Earth (duo)

Heaven on Earth are a husband and wife duo formed in England in 1983 by members Joe Ortiz (from New York City) and Pauly Ortiz (from Essex, England).

As a session and touring musician completing a European tour with the chart reggae group 'Inner Circle' Joe met Pauline Moore - a self styled singer-songwriter from Essex, England. Pauline commissioned Joe's multi-instrumental and vocal talents for her first album, titled Lady's Fire. She was then professionally known as Jo Anna Forte, and signed to Eagle Records UK. This album was also released on CBS Europe.

In 1984, they had a son, Paul Ortiz, also a musician and composer/producer known throughout the internet as Chimp Spanner. In 1987, Joe and Pauly were signed to Atlantic Records for whom they recorded and released the LP and CD titled Dedication. In the same year, they entered their song "Love Come Down" which came in the final eight for the UK entries.

They have also composed and produced popular television signature themes for such programmes as Heirloom, Animals in Action and Jumble. Today they manage their own multimedia business providing products and services to end users as well as the industry. They still continue to compose and record new material and have completed enough music to fill approximately seventy albums. It includes instrumentals.
