Blazetrak is an online resource that puts users in touch with “top professionals” in the areas of music, fashon/design, screen/stage, sports, business and more. For its online talent search, Midi Mafia is inviting singers / instrumentalists between the ages of 16 and 22 to submit one audio track via Blazetrak, for a fee of $100 per submission.
Midi Mafia, will pick their top 15 submissions and review them on a web series, “Casa Mafia,” which will be streamed Tuesdays in March from 7 – 9PM EST on both Ustream and the duo’s website.
Similar to television talent searches, “Casa Mafia” will allows fans to vote on who they think should win the contest via polls on Midi Mafia’s website. Ultimately, though, Midi Mafia will select the winner, who will be flown first class to LA to spend a weekend with Midi Mafia recording one track to be showcased on Blazetrak and Midi Mafia’s website.
While not every submission will be featured on “Casa Mafia,” all submissions are guaranteed a direct video response from Midi Mafia. Submissions are being accepted all month long on Blazetrak.
