Be Found On MySpace

    MySpace Canada, in partnership with Corus
    Entertainment, today launched a monthly contest providing up-and-coming
    Canadian artists with the opportunity to be featured on ExploreMusic.com, a
    nationally syndicated radio show and web portal. The “Found on MySpace”
    contest will let millions of Canadian users recommend and vote for their
    favourite MySpace artist. The winner will be showcased on ExploreMusic and
    ExploreMusic.com by acclaimed music expert, Alan Cross.

    “Found on MySpace” provides musicians with an opportunity to engage music
    enthusiasts and artists on platforms where they are already highly active.
    Artists will be able to leverage MySpace to develop and create buzz around
    their music, grow and engage a fan base and road test their material.

    Every month, musicians are encouraged to send submissions through MySpace
    Radio (www.myspace.com/radio), a new channel powered by StreamTheWorld.
    Following a two week submission window, five finalists will be selected to be
    voted on by MySpace Canada users. Voting will will run for two weeks at
    MySpace Radio. Finalists will be notified by MySpace and will receive tips on
    how to engage with their audience. Once the voting stage is complete, MySpace
    will tally votes for each artist and notify ExploreMusic of the winner. The
    winner, as selected by users, will be showcased on ExploreMusic on the first
    Thursday of every month.

    “MySpace represents the democratization of music distribution as it
    allows any artist an opportunity to reach music fans anywhere on the planet
    for zero cost,” said Cross. “Music fans know that they can go to MySpace and
    investigate virtually any band they want — again at zero cost. We’ve already
    seen a few artists break into the mainstream after finding a following on
    MySpace – and we’re going to see a lot more. ExploreMusic’s goal is to help
    that process of discovery-and-breakthrough along.”

    “MySpace is the worldwide destination for new music and undiscovered
    artists,” said Sue McGill, Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Business
    Development, MySpace Canada. “MySpace is ubiquitous and a standard for online
    musicians and “Found on MySpace” is a great opportunity for independent,
    unsigned musical talent to be discovered and further develop their music and
    careers.
