Commenting on the news, the band say: "Of all the fantastic unsigned acts throughout the UK, we are totally overwhelmed to be playing the Unsigned Music Awards on October 27th. The current state of the music industry needs addressing and we’re in dire need of people like Simon, Georgina and Ben to help unsigned talent shine through the mainstream saturation, and we're honoured that they have chosen us to share their spotlight."
The UMA 2016 is the world’s first televised music industry awards show dedicated to unsigned music. The musical landscape is changing: today the term ‘unsigned’ does not carry the same stigma as it once did. A young music fan’s perception of what ‘unsigned’ artists create differs greatly to generations before. Even artists themselves are turning their backs on traditional and 360 recording contracts to remain totally independent and retain creative rights to their music.
“The model has shifted away from the need of a typical record deal and this needs to be acknowledged” explains Simon O’Kelly (CEO) “I feel that unsigned artists deserve the same airtime, attention and glamour as international superstars, because with that leverage, we can start to build a new and respectable industry for some truly deserving artists.”
Application is free and open now for artists of all genres. So if you are a band, singer, mc, producer or aspiring musician of any kind then be sure to sign up here: http://theunsignedmusicawards.com/apply
