Embrace Presents and Wave.me have announced the Wavo Launchpad, “a once-in-a-lifetime chance for unsigned artists to kick their careers into overdrive by translating the power of social media to the real world.” They’re kicking off this effort with Toronto’s annual Time Festival, which is set to take place on Saturday, July 19, 2014.
Here’s the layout of their project:
“Wavo Launchpad gives upcoming producers and musicians the chance to jumpstart their career at one of the summers hottest events by harnessing the power of Wavo’s online music platform. The launchpad is more than a “DJ contest” it’s *the* place to meet industry professionals, unsigned artists and Time Festival performers including: Grimes, Death Grips, Flume, Action Bronson, Jon Hopkins, Kaytranada and more! Located backstage, the Wavo Launchpad lounge ofers our winners a chance to schmooze media and speak to industry professionals while enjoying the festival in VIP style.”
