MyTalent has been featured on Big News Network, one of the world's leading news aggregation platforms, highlighting our mission to reshape how emerging musicians are discovered.
What the Article Covers
The feature dives into how MyTalent brings artists, fans, and industry professionals together through a structured competition system — offering an alternative to algorithm-driven discovery on traditional streaming platforms.
Key highlights from the coverage:
- The Discovery Problem — With tens of thousands of new songs uploaded to streaming platforms every day, independent artists struggle for visibility. MyTalent provides a structured path where performances are evaluated by industry professionals while fans actively support the musicians they believe in.
- Philippines First Launch — The article spotlights our decision to launch in the Philippines, recognized worldwide for its vibrant music culture and exceptional vocal talent. Local artists will compete in the platform's first national competition through our Backstage early-access program.
- Community-Powered Model — Fans aren't just passive listeners. They earn points by following artists, sharing performances, and inviting new members — redeemable for exclusive merchandise, early access to releases, event invitations, and sponsor-backed prizes.
- Industry Backing — The piece highlights Grammy-nominated producer and sound engineer Richard Brummond, who previously worked at RadioStar Studios alongside renowned producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash).
- Artist Endorsement — Members of 300 Violin Orchestra shared their excitement: "Our expectation is that the platform will provide a fair and supportive space where musicians can showcase their work, connect with genuine fans, and grow their audience organically."
The Shared-Value Model
The article also highlights MyTalent's commitment to returning 70% of platform revenue back to its user community — both artists and fans — setting a new standard for how music platforms can operate.
