“Global Rockstar is one of the world’s most powerful and far-reaching programs to encourage the growth of an up-and-coming generation of musicians,” commented Walter Rührig, Artist & Key Customer Relations, AKG. “We are honored to award the top three contestants with the very best live sound and recording gear AKG offers to help further their performance and sonic capabilities. Last year’s contest proved to be the best yet and we are excited to continue our partnership with Global Rockstar in 2014.”
Since its inception in 2012, Global Rockstar has gone viral with musicians around the world. Last year’s event saw 73 preliminary winners from countries on every continent advance to the global finals, who then competed for the title of “Global Rockstar of the Year” as well as the grand prize of $10,000 and a package professional equipment from AKG.
“Our goal is to garner international visibility for emerging artists around the world,” commented Christof Straub, Co-Founder of Global Rockstar. “AKG has been a wonderful supporter and partner in our efforts to create a global community dedicated to the promotion and growth of aspiring musicians.”
