ROCK & URBAN ARTISTS WANTED

(HOLLYWOOD, CA - May 13, 2008) - The Los Angeles Music Network presents the URBAN & the ROCK Music Contests launching June 9. Taking its popular “LAMN Jams” to a new level, urban and rock artists are invited to perform original music for a panel of industry experts and receive live critiques. Monthly winners move up to the finale and get to compete for the Grand Prize.

Artists are invited to submit material to perform at the Urban Music Contest. Those selected will perform at Skinny’s Lounge located at 4923 Lankershim Boulevard in the NoHo Arts District (N. Hollywood). Performance dates:

On Mondays…
ROCK           Jun 9, Jul 7, Aug 11 (finale)
URBAN      Jun 23, Jul 21, Aug 25 (finale)

Open to the public - admission is free for all dates!

TOP INDUSTRY EXPERTS
Guest experts committed to participate include executives from Universal Music Publishing, Electronic Arts Worldwide Music, Urban Network, Trans World Entertainment, MySpace Records and Red Queen Music (more pending). These experts have been hand-picked because they can do something meaningful for an artist’s career if they like what they hear. At past LAMN Jams, performers have had their music put in the hands of hard-to-reach music supervisors for hit television shows (by music publisher Robert Walls), been hired on studio projects (by producer Jan Linder Koda), and gotten production deals (like Jody Whitesides).
