Psssst!… wanna help make The Next Big Thing?

What an exciting week it is! 2 full days of Nokia World for a hands-on experience of the latest Nokia tech that will be making waves in the year to come, and a chance to be a part of something else truly dear to my heart as we work with City Showcase to put on performances from 8 emerging artists in the world of music.

Now, you may not know City Showcase, but the non-profit organisation is responsible for launching the likes of Amy Winehouse, N-Dubz and Razorlight to name but so very few. With a track record like that, it’s no surprise they’ve secured 8 different but equally amazing acts for the 2 day event.

But the performances from these rising stars won’t be reserved for the conference attendees alone, as I’ll be on hand to film each of their performances on a Nokia N8 for the world to see… and that’s where YOU come in. We want you to vote on these videos by ‘liking’ them. You can leave a comment on each video post if you want to fulfil your “I’m a music mogul” fantasy too.

The most popular band/artist, as “liked” by you, will win some Nokia swag and get promoted on Ovi Music. Which everyone knows, are the two most important steps to fame, fortune, adulation and global dominance.  Ahem.

Here are the links to the artist’s performances, please don’t forget to “like” your favourite/s
