Alex Dyson Teams With Universal Music Group To Find Undiscovered Talent

Show you've got soul in Seoul...

In partnership with Universal Music Group (UMG), Marriott International's Aloft Hotels, has launched the Project: Aloft Star Asia-Pacific 2018 music competition.

From 25 June to 31 July, unsigned artists, bands and songwriters are encouraged to submit up to two original songs in video or audio format for the chance to win a professional recording session and release a music video with UMG.

The prize also includes mentoring from UMG and this year’s project mentor for Australia is none other than rave king, DJ Snorlax (aka Alex Dyson).

Speaking about the competition Dyson said “I'm so pumped to be helping a new Australian act play the show of a life time in South Korea. Whether that means giving solid advice, carrying the bags, or just giving a well-earned foot-massage, I’ll go the extra mile”.

The competition is open to entrants from Australia and countries in the Asia-Pacific region.  The countries are in five groups; Australia, greater China, India, southeast Asia and South Korea. From the entries submitted, UMG will select five finalists (one from each group) for an all-expenses paid trip to Seoul, South Korea to battle it out on 20 September.
