[FEATURED POST] News: Canadian Artists & Musicians, Enter CBC Music’s 2018 Searchlight

We hear and post so much amazing sounding new Canadian-based R&B, soul, electronic, pop and hip-hop right here on my blog nowadays but, as I’m doing the A&R screening for this year’s CBC Music Searchlight, a talent discovery contest sponsored by Canada’s leading national, public broadcaster, as we speak, virtually none of that kind of music is being submitted for consideration.

If you’re a Canadian artist focused on any of those genres and you read this blog; or have been submitting your music to me for the blog (with or without success); or you know of anyone working in one of these genres that could benefit from exposure on CBC’s media platforms and; for the grand prize winner, being a part of a JUNO Masterclass, networking and performing during the Juno Awards week celebrations, doing a songwriting camp at the National Music Centre and a performance slot on the CBC Music Fest in May; and you want to guarantee the music gets a fair hearing for Searchlight? Tell them to HEAD HERE to submit their best CLEAN original song for consideration by next Tuesday (Feb. 6) at 2:59 p.m. ET.

[MP3] Emay – Father, Father (nk. demo)

New loosie from Hamilton’s Emay. The PR blurb is hilarious:

“I figured posting this incomplete song might force me to finish it….”
