MTV Emerge

One thing that my husband and I have in common is the passion for music. Actually, my husband is a singer. He had a band before but because of his hectic schedule, he decided to quit.

Anyway, with the recent visit of Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, we learned about the MTV, Jeepney Music, and Department of Tourism collaboration, MTV Emerge.

MTV Emerge is a platform for unsigned music talent in the Philippines to showcase their work and to be given an opportunity to win a one-year recording contract with Jeepney Music.

Collaborating with the Department of Tourism (DOT) and Jeepney Music, MTV Emerge not only aims to hunt for the hottest unsigned music talent from all genres of music (indie, rock, hip-hop, R&B, metal, solo artists, DJs, etc), it is also an online music community where new music from the Philippines can be discovered.

I voted for Broken by The NewModern. I love the beat of the song. Cast your votes and let's help our unsigned artists get to the top.

MTV Emerge is made possible by MTV, Jeepney Music and Department of Tourism.

Jeepney Music, created by Apl.de.Ap of the Black Eyed Peas, is not just a record label - it is an entity of change created to give back to the Philippines and the globe.

The Department of Tourism (DOT) is the Philippine government agency responsible for encouraging, promoting and developing tourism as a major socio-economic activity, spreading its benefits to sectors of society. DOT's current marketing slogan, 7,107 islands beyond the usual, highlights amazing Philippine destinations and activities.
