Frankmusik launches new talent search

Electropop artist Frankmusik has begun a new nationwide search to uncover the UK's best unsigned musical talent.

The Croydon-based songwriter and producer, whose debut album Complete Me charted at number 13 earlier this year, will lead the Kit Kat Battle of the Bands tour to find the most promising unsigned acts in the country.

Frankmusik will tour six student unions as part of the talent search, with entrants given the chance to win £3,000, a rehearsal master class and remix from Frankmusik and online promotion via his MySpace.

"What's brilliant about this talent search is that we're calling for all guitar bands, groups or solo artists to take part," Frankmusik commented.

"It doesn't matter whether you like indie music, electropop or pure rock – talent is talent and we're going to find the next big thing!"

Unsigned student acts will be invited to perform live on stage at six regional heats where they'll battle it out in front of their student peers and fight for votes, with the winner in each regional heat then brought to London for the grand finale, to be judged by Frankmusik.

The participating student unions are:

University of Hull – Thursday November 5th
University of Newcastle – Tuesday November 10th
London Metropolitan University – Thursday November 19th
University of Salford – Saturday November 28th
Nottingham Trent University – Thursday December 3rd
University of Plymouth - Saturday December 5th
