StarMaker Hosts Singing Contest for Hot Chelle Rae Fans

San Francisco February 10, 2012

StarMaker Interactive, the leading developer of music-based mobile and social games, today announced the launch of a new type of contest for music fans. The StarMaker Spotlight Single Contest Platform will challenge users to sing a featured single and compete with other StarMaker artists for exclusive prizes. The upcoming Spotlight Single Contest features Top 40 hit-makers Hot Chelle Rae. Starting today, Hot Chelle Rae fans can record customized versions of I Like It Like That using the StarMaker app for the chance to meet the band while they are on tour. The contest will run from February 8 through March 31. Finalists will be announced on April 1 and Hot Chelle Rae will select the winner on April 7.


To participate, contestants download the StarMaker app, available through the iTunes App Store, and use its studio-quality voice effects to record themselves singing Hot Chelle Raes new hit single I Like It Like That for free. StarMakers sophisticated proprietary scoring technology provides instant feedback enabling contestants to improve their score each time they sing the song. When participants nail their performance, they can publish it to their StarMaker profile and watch as the StarMaker community listens and votes on their submission. The top ten StarMaker artists will be posted on the leaderboard throughout the contest. After the finalists are announced on April 1, Hot Chelle Rae will listen to the top ten recordings and invite the creator of their favorite rendition to come meet them while they are on tour.

Through this promotion Hot Chelle Rae unlocks a powerful tool that gets fans singing their newest hit song, says StarMaker president and co-founder Nathan Sedlander. This close involvement with a piece of music forms an attachment which is infinitely more powerful than hearing a song played on the radio. Weve witnessed StarMaker turn songs into personal anthems while promoting music appreciation in a really fun way.


Artists success is largely dependent on their ability to capture new fans. The StarMaker app offers an opportunity for new and established musicians to get in front of a growing audience who use their mobile devices to discover and consume music. As the only platform developer focused entirely on singing, StarMakers high-quality mobile apps feature hundreds of Top 40 hits, real-time feedback and incentives to keep practicing. StarMakers interactive platform takes users inside the song," fostering an authentic connection with the lyrics and melody.
