| MUMBAI:
EMI Music Publishing will showcase a collection of new international talent at
the Midem 2007 opening night party on 21 January 2007 in Cannes, France. Midem
and EMI Music Publishing will co-host the party. The evening event, which is one
of the highlights of the week for the 10,000 music industry executives who attend
Midem, will bring together four bands and artists currently signed to EMI Music
Publishing. This showcase will bring
together new Swedish star Mando Diao (EMI Music, Sweden), rising electronica/indie/rock
artiste Shiny Toy Guns (Universal/Motown, US), New York-based R’n’B
septet Naturally 7 (Festplatte AG-Switzerland –EMI/Virgin, France) and DJ
Eric Prydz (Data/Positiva, UK). EMI Music Publishing president
and co-CEO Roger Faxon says, "We hope this evening will remind us all that
it is the joy of the music which makes our industry so great. Sometimes we are
so bogged down in business details, we forget it's all about music and musicians,
and so we are very pleased to have the opportunity to join with Midem to celebrate
the creativity of these talented songwriters and performers.” Midem director
Dominique Leguern says, “EMI Music Publishing’s commitment and dedication
to finding new artists from all over the world and helping them build their careers
and share their music with us all, is something Midem deeply relates too." |
