Sony Music offers record deal in talent search
Sony Music and its mobile brand affiliate Sony Xperia have come together to launch a global talent search, which will see its winner sign a recording contract with the major.
Artists and bands have until 7pm on July 8 (AEST) to submit an original song that will be uploaded across the social networks of online creative platform Talenthouse.
While the overall winner will receive the recording contract, two tracks recorded and mastered in a studio by a producer of Sony’s choosing (some performance sessions will be filmed and used as music videos to be featured on Xperia Lounge), a six-night, all expenses paid trip to London and a filmed interview.
Derek Allison, Head of Consumer Engagement at Sony Mobile, says, “There are thousands of music artists and bands out there hungry to have their music heard. If you’ve ever dreamt of securing a record deal, having your music heard by a big audience, and being part of a family of music artists which include many of the world’s best talent, now’s your chance.
“It gives us a unique opportunity to find a great new music act and give them a record deal with our sister company Sony Music UK as well as offering users of Sony Xperia’s Android app Xperia Lounge exclusive new content.”
Voting kicks off on July 8 until July 15 with winners announced on August 12.
