First Ever Global Mobile Talent Competition to Award $1 Million; MEGASTAR announces international superstar Usher as Creative Director

 

(OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA)October 3, 2017 – Today, MEGASTAR announced the launch of their global talent competition with eight-time Grammy award winning superstar Usher as the Creative Director, Head Judge, mentor, and  investor.  MEGASTAR is set to be the world’s largest crowdsourced talent competition. The innovative mobile competition features performers of any category from around the world competing to win $1 million, a role in a film produced by John Baldecchi, and a variety of small cash prizes.

 

“What’s great about MEGASTAR is that it empowers both the Performers and the Fans. It provides talented people a free platform where they can get global exposure without the traditional gatekeepers.  It also puts the power in the hands of fans to express opinions and make decisions more than ever before,” said Usher. “The mobile competition will also give people with many different types of talent a chance to win a life-changing grand prize. I am excited to help curate some of the best talent that we have not yet seen and bring them to the worldwide stage.”

 

With a long history of mentoring, Usher was the perfect fit for Megastar’s celebrity mentor to guide the contestants through the competition.

 

“We are absolutely delighted to have Usher invested in both the product and the outcome of MEGASTAR.  His career spans over 24 years already, and he has inspired so many artists.  He has so much experience, training and industry knowledge to impart on our Performers and his insights are invaluable to singers, dancers and performers in general” commented Managing Director/CEO and Co-Founder of MEGASTAR Dion Sullivan.

 

MEGASTAR provides performers of all kinds with a global stage to showcase their talents and puts the audience in charge of who rises and falls. The Fans call the shots, share their voice and decide who should be the next MEGASTAR via voting on the MEGASTAR App.

About Usher

Eight-time Grammy-Award winner Usher has been ranked by the Recording Industry Association of America as one of the best-selling artists in American music history, having sold over 65 million records worldwide. He has won numerous awards including eight Grammy Awards and was named the #1 Hot 100 artist of the 2000s decade. Billboard named him the second most successful artist of the 2000s, with his career-propelling 2004 album “Confessions” being ranked as the top solo album of the 2000s decade. Usher has attained nine Hot 100 #1 hits (all as a lead artist) and 18 Hot 100 top-10 singles. 2016 proved to be a big year for Usher not only in music but also in film and his philanthropic endeavors. Musically, Usher released his much anticipated eighth studio album entitled “Hard II Love,” which has already spawned his 15th No. 1 single with the song “No Limit.”
