[GAME] DS's Next Top Artist: Series #8
4 of 71
Last but not least this evening we head over to willrelf92 HQ where the final 2 acts are about to be revealed!
- Jason DeRulo:-
o Jason DeRulo (full name Jason Joel Desrouleaux) is a popular R'n'B singer born in Florida on 21st September 1989 (25 years old). He has been singing since 2006 and has released four albums to date (one of which was only released in the US). He has had 17 singles, with three number 1's and another six top 10 songs. I selected Jason DeRulo because he is arguably my favourite male artist. I have bought each of his albums to date and 14 of his singles, with many more to come in the future I'm sure! I love his style of music and he can sing both romantic songs and dance songs, which I like in an artist. This is Jason DeRulo and hopefully he will put on a good show for you in this competition!
- Calvin Harris:-
o Calvin Harris (real name Adam Richard Wiles) is one of the biggest DJ's in the world. He was born in Dumfries, Scotland on 17th January 1984 (30 years old) and has been in the music business since 2007. He has had three albums to date (with a fourth in the pipeline) and 21 singles, seven of which have got to number 1 and a further ten which have reached the top 10. I chose Calvin Harris because I have liked most of his songs so far and I love a good beat, which Calvin is the king of. His music has the power to cheer me up from a bad mood, so I am extra grateful to him for that. This is Calvin Harris, I hope you enjoy the songs I will bring to you in the coming weeks!

Thought it was, not surprised that I didn't rank highly as I'm new.
Okay so top 4, with great power comes great responsibility. This test will truly sort the strong from the weak:

My other act is Cheryl who is basically too flawless to even warrant an intro. I don't really know how she hasn't been chosen yet because her music is awesome and she is the Queen of XFactor.

Week #1 Theme - Introductions!
As every working mentor across the world knows, a good first impression is pivotal if you are to succeed in this industry. You must therefore pick a song that you feel encapsulate what your acts are all about. This is basically free choice, but you get one first impression, so you better make it fabulous.
Please send your songs to both me AND r0ry101. The deadline for 'Alex' acts is Sunday 12th October at 7pm. The deadline for 'Rory' acts is Wednesday 15th October at 7pm. If you're late, the playlist will go out without your songs as music waits for no one. This has proved incredibly detrimental to popular acts in the past, so please try to be punctual!
