Sennheiser’s HearIAm
Audio technology manufacturer Sennheiser launched HearIAm back in June, and ever since, it’s been providing both musicians and fans with some great opportunities. Most recently, an up and coming band (Kansas City’s Trucker) was awarded the opportunity to play at Montreal’s Osheaga 2010 festival, and this October, Sennheiser will award another performer a coveted performance slot during the prestigious CMJ Music and Film Festival in New York. Sennheiser is rewarding music fans for participating as well.
Through the HearIAm portal, fans and musicians can upload their profile and share new music in a new, exciting way. Fans discover and vote on their favorite music; artists that get the most votes have a chance at greater exposure through festival performances and other awards. It’s very interesting that Sennheiser–a company who has been making music gear for decades–is providing a new path for artists and fans to experience new music.
