LOS ANGELES, California, February 7/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Legendary musician, producer and songwriter Dave Stewart is joining
forces with Tero Ojanpera, executive vice president and head of the new Nokia

into the creative process makes him the perfect person to join our team and
help us move our entertainment properties into a new era of interactivity and

proposition of working with Nokia is very exciting," said Dave Stewart, Nokia
Advisor. "My first project with Nokia will focus on sharing my experience as
a musician, songwriter and producer to help move our industries forward
together, as digital entertainment expands its reaches through new
technologies. This will also be a great forum for the artists participating
to explore how technology is being leveraged to help support the causes that
many of them care so deeply about."

plans to expand. Through a series of events, the group will also serve as a

responsibility with the innovations in the world of technology.
