Copenhagen (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Looking for New Music - Call for Entries

As more and more people listen to music on their MP3 mobile
phones and iPhones, the music quality of the headset becomes more and
more important. So to promote their new range of high-quality music
headsets and their Mobile Music Microsite
http://www.sennheiser.com/mobilemusic, Sennheiser Communications have
decided to foster and publicise new music, with a global online
talent contest.

Famous producer Mousse T. (e.g. Tom Jones's Sexbomb) of
Peppermint Park studios is totally convinced by the outstanding
quality of our Mobile Music Headsets and has agreed to judge
submissions for the 'Artist of the Month Award' (see profile below).

Each month the winner will be featured on the Sennheiser
Communications' Mobile Music Microsite, with a full artist profile,
publicity photos and more. Three songs by the winner will be
available for free for public download and the visitors will vote for
these as "Song of the Month". Voters will be entered into a
competition to win valuable Sennheiser Communications prizes each
month.

The winning artist will receive extensive publicity, helping to
kick-start their music career, following Sennheiser's long tradition
of endorsing supported artists before they become famous. This
competition is a great way to break through for musicians that do not
want to go through mainstream media and TV shows, such as American
Idol, as offering tracks for free download is now an accepted way for
musicians to get early recognition and acquire a fan base.

It's all about good music!

Any musician anywhere can enter, all they have to do is register
on the Sennheiser Communications' Mobile Music Microsite
http://www.sennheiser.com/mobilemusic and send in their music.

The artists prizes
- A full month of publicity as 'Artist of the Month' on
Sennheiser Communications' Mobile Music Microsite
- A full website biography, music showcase and links to the artist's
website
- A years coverage on our Mobile Music Microsite
- A global press campaign publicising the winner
- Three tracks by the winner will be available for free download by the
public
- Participation in the competition "Artist of the Year 2009"

Vote and win

All site visitors can vote for their favourite song and win some
great Mobile Music Headsets from Sennheiser Communications. There
will be three monthly prizes, such as the best-selling MM 50 for
iPhone or Nokia. The contest will be repeated every month as each new
artist is featured, so there are many opportunities to win.

Judge: Remix talent Mousse T. judges Artist Of The Month

Noted producer Mustafa Gundogdu, better known as Mousse T.,
already had a string of international successes before Peppermint
Park Studios opened. His own hit single Horny sold over 10 million
copies worldwide and made him one of the most successful producers.
Musical giants the likes of Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, Gloria
Estefan, Backstreet Boys, Simply Red, No Angels, Fine Young Cannibals
and Moloko have all given permission for him to arrange new versions
of their hits. His remix work made him the first German to receive a
Grammy nomination in this category. Mousse T. then went on to gain
major international recognition as a songwriter and music producer
with the hit single Sexbomb, which he wrote exclusively for Tom Jones
in 1999. Today, with his record label Peppermint Jam, he produces
primarily club-oriented pop music with strong jazz and soul
influences. He is particularly keen to encourage the development of
new artists such as Emma Lanford and Sharon Phillips yet he also
continues to enjoy international success with his remixes for hit
artists such as Timbaland and Missy Elliott. And the secret of his
success? Mousse T. describes his philosophy as: "I am a music lover
with a sense of humour who gives more than one hundred percent for
his love".

"I have worked with Sennheiser for many years in a professional
category and am delighted to see them bring their level of quality to
the mobile music market"
