4-TIMES EMA EAST WINNER GOES UNIVERSAL IN 2010
Having scooped not one, not two but FOUR EMA’s last month in the East of England, rising star METIS (pronounced may-teess) has caught the eyes ‘n’ ears of East sponsors KISS 105-108 – and a distribution deal with UNIVERSAL for the New Year.
After winning Awards for Best Urban song (sponsored by KISS 105-108), Best Alt song, Best Live! (voted by fans at tourdates.co.uk) and Best Male, Glen White of KISS 105-108 has picked up Metis’ winning entry in the Urban Award category, Hustlin’ ft. Demarco, for the region’s leading commercial radio station.
Last week, Metis filmed an exclusive interview with KISS 105-108 breakfast’s Kaz, Stu and Thomsta at the KISS studios. The film will be aired on Totalkiss.com and KISS YouTube when the track gets its first spin on KISS 105-108 January 8th, to tie in with the single’s official release on Jan 12th!
Featuring both prize winning tracks Hustlin’ and All In, ft. Aynzli Jones, Metis’ debut release will be digitally distributed worldwide via Universal, available on iTunes and all major music download sites.
EMA East organiser Chris Stiven has worked closely with Metis and KISS 105-108 to make it happen. “This is what the EMA’s are all about”, she says “Huge thanks to KISS – and especially to Glen [White] for such stunning support in our first year. It’s very cool to see this kind of well deserved result from our first Awards programme in the East – and there’s still plenty more good news to come for our 2009 winners and nominees, before the 2010 Awards go live next March.”
