Tinashe: A much-needed 'Match My Freak' world tour deejay contest for every stop
Want to impress crooner Tinashe with your deejaying skills? Turns out the popular crooner is coming through with her Match My Freak world tour and upping the fun by launching a contest to secure an opening deejay for each stop.
Tinashe is delivering an awesome deejaying contest for her ‘Match My Freak’ world tour
It’s low-key pretty genius with Tinashe giving deejays a chance to get involved in her cross-country run. The contest is also in partnership with audio powerhouse SoundCloud.
Multi-platinum-certified pop/R&B disruptor singer, songwriter, and dancer Tinashe announced her special contest for her Match My Freak World Tour. For the contest, Tinashe teamed up with SoundCloud, the global artist-first platform that empowers artists and fans to connect and share through music, in a first of its kind partnership to identify an opening DJ for each upcoming tour stop. Looking for a DJ to match her freak, contestants will complete a submission form and make sure their SoundCloud profile is up to date, showcasing their talent. From there, Tinashe will choose a DJ for each location to open the tour. Read more info about the contest here!
Of the contest, Tinashe shared, “I'm excited to partner up with Soundcloud to find incredible DJ's to open for me on my Match My Freak tour. If you make dope music, then you should submit for a chance to join me on the road. I'm selecting a different DJ each night so make sure to tap in and submit your music. I can't wait to check out all the submissions and more importantly I can't wait to see you all on the road soon!”
“Tinashe's always embraced SoundCloud to connect with fans and experiment with new sounds, and this first-of-its-kind contest is a natural extension of that energy,” said SoundCloud’s Global Head of Music, Emmy Lovell. “We're excited to build on Tinashe's legacy by shining a spotlight on the next generation of artists on SoundCloud.”
