Ok, so New Zealand along with the rest of the world is going through a bit of a rough patch... again.  
 

Here at KIWI FM we want to prove that just because there is an economic recession; it doesn’t mean there has to be a creative recession.

 

With the like minded heads at York Street Recording Studio, we came up with a little competition. We asked all the singer/songwriters out there to submit original songs, of a happy nature, to lift the spirits of Aotearoa and prove that although we might be down, we are not out.

 

 

The entries came flooding in, and we sat down to try and find a Top 5. It wasn't easy, but we did narrow it down, over copious amounts of caffeine and more than a few tense moments. Now it's up to you to vote!

 

The winning artist will then record their song at York Street Recording Studios with Pop Science - a superstar session band made up of some of the best musicians New Zealand has to offer, including Scotty Pearson from Elemeno P, Clint Harris from Opshop and Stephan Small from Autozamm and The Verlaines. Between them, Pop Science have 51 albums, 14 New Zealand Music Awards and 1.36 Million Myspace views. Pretty Impressive.

 

Once the song has been recorded, mixed and mastered, Digital Rights Management (DRM) will release the track digitally to the world so you can tell all your friends to go and buy it. If they have any money that is…
