Simon Cowell has been searching for talent since before most of us can remember, and now the music and television mogul is at it again! This time, taking his talent search in a new direction, he will launch a competition to find some of the best EMC DJs around.
This original talent search competition will start online with competitors submitting samples of their recordings, which will serve as the audition rounds, with fans voting for their favorites via social media. The DJs that make it to the next round will take part in challenges and performances on television.
Cowell will be teaming up with Robert FX Sillerman’s SFX to produce the show. SFX stages some of the most legendry live music events known today, such as Tomorrowland and Stereosonic. Sillerman is a force to be reckoned with in the EMC industry as the world’s largest producer, promoter, and presenter of live entertainment.
“It made complete sense for us to collaborate with SFX with their access to the best up-and-coming DJs and their great marketing platform to build new DJ talent.”
There is so much untapped potential talent, and with DJs such as Skrillex, Steve Aoki and Martin Garrix taking the EMC world by storm, there is some serious talent to live up to!
