DAVE STEWART OF THE EURYTHMICS STARTS MUSIC CREATION INITIATIVE FOR ARTISTS UNDER LOCKDOWN
Competition launch to benefit artists in lockdown
London, United Kingdom, MONDAY 6th April — Dave Stewart, legendary music hall of famer has teamed with a digital music platform encouraging artists to use downtime to make something great. Stewart is a known champion of upcoming artists and a finder of undiscovered gems. Creator of NBC’s Songland Stewart has joined Trackd to launch a competition. Dave will be releasing a new song through the Trackd platform on Wednesday 8th of April and will be inviting artists on the platform to collaborate with him. He will be choosing his winner and collaborator on the 21st of April.
Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics is an early adopter of Trackd and a champion of young talent said ““using Trackd now for eight track recordings and mixing reminds me of making ‘Sweet Dreams ( Are Made of This)’ which I recorded and produced on a 8-track tape recorder back in the day. If the song is great you don’t need more than eight tracks. Trackd is becoming a go to collaboration community and I can’t wait to hear what comes. I will be putting up a track and making it public. I'll be looking for a great vocalist with great melody ideas! I will choose a collaborator on April 10th and we’ll make something special, the chosen collaborator will get £5,000 from me towards releasing the finished track independently so, stay indoors and get busy “

It’s Social
Tracked has already reached a global audience with users writing either by themselves, or with others in as far away places as Sydney to Seattle City and Belize to Brighton.
