Video may have killed the radio star, but video could also nab one Valley resident a free trip to this year’s Grammy Awards at the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.
MyStudio Music is having a contest, wherein entrants record a video of themselves singing or playing an instrument at the MyStudio visual recording booth at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall. Judges will pick ten finalists from the video submissions, based on each entrant’s musical skills, presentation, and entertainment ability. The finalists’ videos will then go online for an Internet vote to determine the winner.
Above is a video that shows the MyStudio booth. Read on for details and more videos.
