Emerging Reggae-World Music Artist Selasee Hits #80 on Internet Radio Mainstream Charts
Quebec, Canada (Billboard Publicity Wire) March 29, 2007 -- It's been a little over a year now since Selasee took home first place in the World Music category at the 2005 International Songwriting Competition for his single "Run". Now after a successful 2006, selected to showcase at the MIDEM Buzzband in Cannes, France, the MUSEXPO 2006 edition in Los Angeles and the CMJ Music Marathon in New York, Selasee's single "Run" has also been taken notice in the licensing world when Electronic Arts chose to add the song to their multi-platinum selling FIFA 2006 video game and award winning soundtrack.
To end the year on a positive note, another track on Selasee's album titled "Agba Yei" has also become an International Songwriting Competition song finalist within the World Music category, in which earlier that year the same song was a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition.
Selasee continues to make noise for himself in 2007, this time through the World Wide Web, by means of launching an Online Marketing Campaign through MusiK1. Strategically executed, Selasee's campaign heavily concentrates on Internet radio promotions, which has already gained mainstream chart recognition. "With the support of two leading iTunes featured stations, one based in the UK and the other in the US, Selasee reached #80 on the RadioWave Monitor Mainstream charts" explains Josh East, Senior Project Manager for MusiK1. "So far Selasee's campaign is on the right path, now moving into online street team and video promotions to synch up with P2P digital distribution and press release services through our partnership with Billboard Publicity Wire", adds Josh.
Running Dream Records is open to partner with an associated label and/or booking agent to get a stronger worldwide presence for Selasee. For more information, feel free to reach out to Sean Cassidy at the provided contact information.
