OurStage & MTV Join For Emerging Artist Program

Ourstage MTV  

MTV and OurStage.com have formed an ongoing partnership to expose emerging artists. In the first  joint venture, musicians in top U.S. markets have been participating in OurStage hosted efforts this summer and receiving exposure through the mtvU Six Flags VMA Tour and the MTV Video Music Awards.

MTV and OurStage will also develop online co-promotions that combine fan enthusiasm with music discovery and the mass audience of MTV and its related networks – MTV2, mtvU, MTV Tr3s.  Additionally, OurStage becomes an additional tool for MTV's music supervision team when sourcing new music for on-air inclusion.

From the press release:

"We are pleased to be partnering with OurStage for our emerging artist-focused efforts online," said Dermot McCormack, head of Digital Media for MTV Networks Music and Logo group. "OurStage offers an extraordinary voting platform for finding the top emerging talent, and they also have an amazing pool of over 90,000 artists from across the country. The fact that the rankings are powered by the fans, on a judging platform that is specifically designed to prevent tampering and gaming, is very important to MTV in our ongoing commitment to supporting emerging artists."

"We are excited to have MTV as our partner to help deserving artists earn regional and national exposure," shares Ben Campbell, CEO of OurStage. "OurStage is in the business of delivering life-altering opportunities for worthy artists – so working with MTV2, one of the greatest brands in the history of the industry, is really exciting for OurStage and our whole community."

  1. AOL’s Ourstage has deleted the WinterBand fan page on behalf of a handful of false-christians who didn’t like what we teach and filed frivolous “complaints”
    Details and documentation are available at:
    http://www.winterband.com/Ourstage.html
    What has happened is outrageous religious censorship and discrimination.
    Whether you love us or hate us consider the precedent that this situation establishes.
    If anyone you know is investing time and effort building a presence and network of connections on Ourstage you owe it to them to make them aware of what is going on.

  2. We were blessed to get a tip that our now deleted Ourstage fan page was still cached on Google. Now all can see the content that the corrupt staff at Ourstage lied about! Please WARN any and all you know who are participating on Ourstage about the corruption and dishonesty there. Post the link to our site in channel comments and song and video comments at Ourstage and in blogs.
    Details and now documentation are available at:
