New York, NY – The multi-platinum international phenomenon known as Owl City is teaming up with the world’s largest and notably most successful online distributor TuneCore in a unique partnership designed to empower developing artists.

TuneCore has created a special website in collaboration with Owl City. Artists that choose to go through this website for distribution can have Owl City’s Adam Young listen to one “single” off their release. Adam will choose his favorite among all of the music submitted and provide a constructive critique of the song directly back with the artist. Adam will choose the artist and song on December 1, 2010.

As always, through TuneCore, artists keep all of their rights and receive 100% of the revenue from the sale of their music on iTunes, Amazon, spotify, Mog and other digital music stores.

Artists that would like this additional opportunity simply need to go to: http://www.tunecore.com/owlcity

“Adam wrote and recorded his own music simply to let others hear it. He might not have had a label when he started, but he did have new entities like Facebook, MySpace, MP3 Blogs, YouTube, Twitter and TuneCore that allow any artist to get heard. From there his music spoke for itself and went on to connect with millions of music fans around the world. His willingness to reach out and help and guide other artists is above and beyond. It is truly an honor to be able to work with him.” – Jeff Price – Founder, CEO & President of TuneCore

"When I look back on the last 24 months of Owl City - the ease of getting music pushed out to the masses in the music industry today was without a doubt a huge factor in people being able to discover my music. I feel honored to work with TuneCore to provide Owl City fans this same opportunity I was fortunate to have at the inception of my project. I hope that this partnership will encourage young musicians across the globe to create - and allow their creations to be heard." – Adam Young/Owl City
