Major international producer partners with Myspace to find new recording duo
Singers can apply to work with the 30-million album selling producer exclusively through MySpace at
http://www.myspace.com/singerwanteduk from today.
The producer, who will remain anonymous until after the duo is chosen to help attract all types and styles of singers not led by his previous genres, is looking for ‘great, distinctive voices, people with an ear for melody, and singers able to both hold a tune and write a song’.
Dom Cook, marketing director of MySpace UK, says: “The producer we’re working with partnered with MySpace to tap into the abundance of creative individuals of different musical styles, who use the site to share their diverse talents. Rather than trying to pigeon-hole singer-songwriters by his previous success, this competition is wide open. Once the producer has found the right singers to create his dream duo he will reveal himself and his plans for the album.”
Applicants do not have to give up work, other bands or musical commitments to work on the album, but they must be able to travel to London regularly. Serious contenders will need to have charisma, a willingness to experiment and the ability to work hard.
This project further illustrates the confidence that creative industries now have in finding emerging talent through MySpace. In recent months the site has put itself at the heart of popular culture and self-expression with projects from MyMovieMashUp, which aims to find all the talent necessary to create the world’s first user generated feature film through MySpace, to the chance to appear in the E4 show, Skins.
