The creation of SongBooth – an app available from iTunes – by entrepreneur Gregory Lowe II, CEO of LoweKey Media, is taking the “star search” industry to a whole ‘nother level! The app will enable the budding musician to either upload a pre-recorded music video or record a live performance with their iPhone, edit, then share it locally or internationally via social networks like Facebook, SMS, email and eventually Twitter.
Can it get any better!? Hell yaah! – Lowe will soon announce an opportunity for all you musical diamonds-in-the-roughs to compete in, what will be literally, a virtual world-wide competition in March of this year that could net you a single’s deal with Sony Records. Dubbed Project SongBooth, the contest will calculate a winner based on the amount of “likes” an entry receives, including thumbs up from new music heavy-hitters, ”The Thrill’ Miguel (RCA Records) and teen heartthrob Ryan Beatty (OcSkee Entertainment) – both of whom were discovered through online social media themselves. The two will preside as judges for the contest as well as Chuck Creekmore, CEO of allhiphop.com. Stay tuned for my updates on the competition here at ezkool.com.
The SongBooth app, which is absolutely free! is relatively easy to maneuver around in. The videos run virtually buffer free and the app’s operational board consists of a six button application. The set-up screen for SongBooth is visually exciting, complete with a brushed nickel, retro recording mic. A “follow” button is included, allowing you to build up a fan base, who’ll support you now…and later recall – with pride – that they knew you when you sang for your supper, riding back and forth on the no. 7 train from Queens to Grand Central station.
