We Are Listening, in association with Berklee College of Music, recently launched a short film highlighting the events and experiences of the winners of The 2005 Singer/Songwriter Awards in London.
The four members of Boston group, Walter the Orange Ocean, and Toronto based artist, Vivek Shraya, spent a weekend in London working with the UK’s finest music professionals.
Under the wing of producer Steve Williams (Sting, Seal, Eric Clapton) and mix engineer Simon Osborne (Sting, U2, Jimi Hendrix), the artists returned to their home country with a master of their winning song from Abbey Road Studios.
Not all the glory went to the winners. Chicago native, Jamie Lynn Fletcher, a runner-up in last year’s event, received The Berklee Songwriting Workshop Scholarship as part of the ‘awards’ program. She will be arriving in Boston in August to attend classes.
We Are Listening, headed by Berklee graduate, Lior Shamir, work exclusively with Sonicbids.com, led by Panos Panay, also a Berklee graduate. The two music companies have been successful at raising the profile for The Singer/Songwriter Awards by appealing to US, Canadian and Australian artists’ desire to access the European music market.
We Are Listening is currently accepting entries for The 2006 Singer/Songwriter Awards.
