Success
Stories
Song of the
Year has a working relationship with SONG STOP. A number of
individuals from SONG STOP are represented on the judging panel.
Thanks to their help we have some success stories from the January,
February, and March entries.
January's Electronic Winner
and Pop Finalist Jenna Drey has recently had the privilege to work with one of the
world's most acclaimed producers Nile
Rodgers. Nile has produced artists such
as Madonna, David Bowie, and Duran Duran to name a few. Jenna Drey is sure to join
these elite artists with her passionate writing ability and
incredible vocal talent.
After Laura Gosa's $39 dollar
investment for a song submission and a Song of the Year critique,
Laura grabbed the attention of R.C.
Mead from Song
Stop. Ted was impressed with Laura's song
"Don't pass me by" and will be offering her a spec deal on a 5 song
EP.
Brazilian
songwriter Larissa Liles' song
"Sun Dry" caught the attention of one of the professionals
conducting the Song of the Year's critiques. "Sun Dry" was forwarded on
to his resources and will be recorded on an Indie label who is
promoting a new artist. The album's street date will be December of
this year.
Slow DT will be working with two top engineers who have worked
with some of the biggest names in the Hip-Hop scene. Their work has
been featured on a number of Interscope
releases.
Amber Brooke's submission "Confinement" and
Elaine K's
"You should have known" has gained the interest of a few individuals that
place music on television shows. They will be considering these
tracks for possible placement.
James Day, Steven
Stewart, and Jim Gately 's
"Already Broken" is being considered by a current contestant on USA
Network's Nashville Star for an upcoming album
release.
Germany based band
ATUT was
brought to the United States by The Frontline Entertainment Group to
work on a spec deal. ATUT was discovered after catching the ears of one of our
monthly judges Thomas Savoy. Thomas was impressed with their
material and presented it to Frontline A&R.
Emily Newman's lyric submission has gained interest from Shane
Boullion of Day Spring Cards. Day Spring is an affiliate of Hallmark. Shane
has signed a contract with Emily to include her submission and
additional material into the Day Spring catalog
.
