Year In Review: Spotlighting Our SongwriterUniverse 2010 “Best Song Of The Month" Contest Winners
We are pleased to spotlight and honor our Twelve "Best Song Of The Month" Contest Winners for 2010. These monthly winners wrote the best songs which were submitted to SongwriterUniverse during the past year. All twelve winners are deserving of continued recognition and exposure. The winning songs were in many different genres of music, from pop, AC, rock, country, R&B, soul, Americana and folk.
2010 "Best Song Of The Month" Contest Winners.
Our "Best Song Of The Month" Contest was launched in August 2003. There have been many talented winners who have achieved success in the music business. Two of our past contest winners, pop/R&B writer/artist Matt Palmer and Sarah Lewis of the pop/rock band Jag Star, received staff writer/music publishing deals with HoriPro Music Publishing (where I work as Executive Consultant). Notably, Matt Palmer is now collaborating with several major label artists (who are signed to Sony and Universal) and with hit writer/producers.
Notably, our January 2006 winner Levi Kreis, has gone on to become an award-winning musical performer on Broadway. He currently stars in the acclaimed hit musical, Million Dollar Quartet, and he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor In A Musical (for his role of Jerry Lee Lewis). Kreis is also a singer/songwriter who has released four albums. Kreis won our song contest for co-writing his song, "I Should Go."
Another previous contest winner is Mandi Perkins (our September 2004 Winner), a singer/songwriter who was signed to a label deal with Sony Music in 2008 and released her album, Alice in No Man's Land. She now fronts the band of Verona, and she is a pro songwriter in Los Angeles who works with Toby Gad and other hit writer/producers.
In addition to our monthly song contest, our other music site, SingerUniverse, hosts the equally popular "Best Vocalist Of The Month" Competition. Notably, our August 2007 "Best Vocalist" winner, singer/songwriter Chloe Leighton, has now signed a major label deal with Beluga Heights/Warner Bros. Records, which is owned by top writer/producer J.R. Rotem and features hit artists Jason Derulo and Sean Kingston.
Via our "Best Song Of The Month" and "Best Vocalist Of The Month" contests, we look forward to spotlighting & honoring excellent new songwriters, artists and vocalists in 2011, and for years to come.
