MTV Emerge, discovering new Artists
MTV Emerge is the newest project of MTV Philippines and the Department of Tourism which gives opportunity to local music talents to get their works discovered and recognized. The top seven bands/individuals who will emerge as winners in the competition will be given a one year recording contract from Apl.de.Ap’s (of the Black Eyed Peas) Jeepney Music.
Aside from MTV Emerge’s goal of discovering Filipino talents, it also aims to recognize its platform as an online community where new music from the Philippines can be discovered. The MTV Emerge platform lets users upload their own profile, photos, music and videos. Works uploaded before November 20 are entitled to join the competition and the uploaded works will go through public voting process. The top entries that will be chosen from the voting process will be judged by a panel of judges including APL himself.
I already voted for my choice of music and I gave my vote to Rapnophobia’s God Bless Philippines. Vote for your own choice by logging in at MTV Emerge.
The purpose of this project is rooted in Jeepney Music’s goal of giving opportunity to emerging artists and the Department of Tourism’s mission of promoting socio-tourism of our country. The MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration makes the project a remarkable effort in promoting Philippines and its hidden gems.
Jeepney Music
Jeepney Music, created by Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, is not just a record label – it is an entity of change created to give back to the Philippines and the globe.
As a platform for emerging artists and DJs, Jeepney Music provides promotional and collaborative opportunities to work with Grammy award-winning artist and producer Apl.de.Ap. An artist’s beats or music might be featured on Jeepney Radio or they might be invited to collaborate on a Jeepney Project.
On top of that, Jeepney Music also fosters a non-exclusive community filled with content and connectivity between music, gossip, travel, food, entertainment, and living histories from the Philippines. It is one location where one can always track Apl.de.Ap and participate in the Jeepney community.
Department of Tourism
The Department of Tourism (DOT) is the Philippine government agency responsible for encouraging, promoting and developing tourism as a major socio-economic activity, spreading its benefits to sectors of society. DOT’s current marketing slogan, 7,107 islands beyond the usual, highlights amazing Philippine destinations and activities. DOT invites everyone to explore a treasure trove of 7,107 islands filled with wonderful discoveries that include our rich history and culture, lush tropical landscapes, luxurious hotels and resorts, up-market and bargain shopping centers, exciting outdoor and nightfall activities, a variety of dining places and the warmest and friendliest welcome that is beyond the usual.
