Yep. An international songwriting competition quite cleverly named the International Songwriting Competition, in fact.
Anyway, as the header implies, six locals made the cut to get a “finalist” nod from the ISC. Who? For what songs? In what categories? And, just for good measure, where are these people from? Funny you should ask, as that’s exactly the information I happen to have on this front:
- AAA: “1978” by Salim Nourallah from Dallas, TX
- Dance/Electronica: “This Is A Test” by Robert Michael Romano (Shock Of Pleasure) from Dallas, TX
- Folk/Singer-Songwriter:
“Not Gonna Think” by April Geesbreght from Fort Worth, TX.
- Performance:
“Sold Me Down The River” by Sam Shake Anderson from Fort Worth, TX
- R&B/Hip-Hop:
“Uh-Oh” by Seyed Nazeri, Shari Hill, Kristopher Flagg (The Axis) from Dallas, TX,
- Teen:
“Tattered Note (Hey Baby)” by Annie Dingwall from Plano, TX, USA
Congrats to all finalists.
