Contest

Want to Win a Recording Session with Sam Roberts? Here’s How.

This arrived from Devon the other day about the My Song for Change contest currently being run by Make Music Matter.

Each year, Make Music Matter hosts a contest called My Song For Change, which invites Canadians 18 and over to submit a musical performance focusing on global issues that they face with other youth across the world. The winner will have his or her song and accompanying video produced in a professional recording studio alongside Sam Roberts and a Grammy Award-winning producer.  Pretty sweet deal. (Last year’s winner got to record with Ian D’Sa from Billy Talent and Cone McCaslin from Sum 41).Some Info on the charity:  Make Music Matter – a Canadian charity that focuses on the transformative power of music to address some of the challenging issues many African countries currently face.Great Canadian artists are partnered, and active with the charity, including grammy award winning producer David Bottrill, Cone McCaslin (Sum 41), Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent), Jim Cuddy (Blue Rodeo), Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies) etc.
