Frankmusik launches search for country’s next chart-topper
British electropop star Frankmusik has kicked off a nationwide search for the UK’s best unsigned musical talent. The Kit Kat Battle of the Bands will tour student unions across the UK in an attempt to unearth the country’s next big thing.
Frankmusik, aka Vincent Frank, will lead the hunt for the music industry’s newest raw talent and is calling for student musical talent across six universities to sign up to take part. Entrants stand the chance of winning £3,000, a rehearsal masterclass with the pop star together with a chance for him to remix one of the winning act’s songs and have a link posted on his Myspace, together with some online promotion.
Unsigned student acts will be invited to perform live on stage at six regional heats where they’ll battle it out in front of their student peers and fight for votes. Each regional heat will crown a winner before the six finalists are brought to London for the grand finale, where Frankmusik will be on the judging panel.
Frankmusik comments: “What’s brilliant about this talent search is that we’re calling for all guitar bands, groups or solo artists to take part. It doesn’t matter whether you like indie music, electropop or pure rock – talent is talent and we’re going to find the next big thing!”
With some of the coolest bands around in recent years to have met at university, this time next year we could see our winning act well on the way to musical stardom.
