Global Rockstar United: A Song Tying the Continents Together

VIENNA, September 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --



Music knows no borders: This is the motto of the song "To the Moon", co-written by six
artists from six continents, and released on September 16, 2015. The occasion: The
relaunch of the music platform globalrockstar.com. 



Global Rockstar United 



To celebrate the relaunch of globalrockstar.com, the Viennese startup invited one
registered artist from each continent to Vienna, Austria. Jhanniel (ARG), Katie Thompson
(NZL), Christian Rabb (SWE), Syssi Mananga (COG), A Yeon (KOR) and Murray Yates (CAN)
traveled over 53,000 kilometres to collaborate with each other. A week after starting on
August 14, they finished the single "To the Moon" which will be released worldwide on
September 16, 2015.



This project exceeded the expectations of all involved and shows that borders, that
cause endless pain in today's world, don't exist in the world of music.
