Global Rockstar & AKG Present World Wide Song Contest Online

VIENNA, Austria, October 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --



The search for the Global Rockstar Song 2012 starts on

enter the race with their original song.



The internet makes it possible: bands, singers and musicians of all ages and all

win on 1 January 2013 will be decided by the users and an expert jury. The artists can win
record deals and band equipment from AKG & YAMAHA worth 10 000 USD.



Global Rockstar founder Christof Straub: "We have founded Global Rockstar because we
love songs. There is so much undiscovered music worth listening to. As a music producer
and songwriter I know how important it is that artists get a maximum of international
visibility and that they also profit financially. Global Rockstar guarantees both."
Co-founder Ronny Steibl adds: "In our sponsoring program big brands can support songs and
artists financially. To guarantee a fair result of the contest, user from all around the
world will become the jury via social-media-voting. Additionally, an expert jury from the
music industry will award wild cards."



Christof Straub, music producer and mastermind of the many-times awarded band
Papermoon is responsible for Teenage Rockstar - an online platform for music youth
contests - since 2009. Together with Ronny Steibl the Rio+20 Global Youth Music Contest
was implemented online in 2012. Musicians from 45 countries uploaded their songs to the
topic "The Future We Want" on Global-Rockstar.net in spring 2012. Eventually, the winners
from Portugal and Romania performed live at the UN Rio+20 Conference.
