Step Into the Light // CBC's SEARCHLIGHT 2015

HELLO! Long time no blog... I've been busy in my living room "home studio", grouping gorgeous, grainy synths together in order to enter a song into this year's CBC Searchlight Competition. "Step Into the Light" came into fruition as an extension of sorts to an original piano tune I wrote. It became a canon styled cycle and I couldn't resist polishing it off as its own track. The song "explores life's meaning in all that is positive, spiritual, and existential."

"What the H is this contest?!" you might ask. It is "The Hunt for Canada's Best New Artist". The CBC puts it on every year and receives thousands of original song submissions from aspiring artists across our great nation. It is a round by round contest, so I must rely on votes from YOU (family, friends, and the public) if I am to survive these knockout rounds!

"So how do I vote?!" You will find "Step Into the Light" by Manny Goossen in the Winnipeg region on CBCMUSIC.CA/SEARCHLIGHT!

OR THIS LINK

will lead you straight to my song, where you can listen and vote!

Also, a mobile friendly/quick vote link is:

"WHY SO MANY LINKS, CBC?!"

And the first round has STARTED. You can vote for up to 10 artists per region PER DAY, starting today March 30th till April 13th. That means a vote a day for a total of 15 votes per person, and maybe you can vote on more than one device... Try IT! I think I've made myself clear :)

So I'd lovingly appreciate your support if you'd be so kind! THANK YOU!

If you haven't heard the song yet, beneath holds the light.
Or turn on your sound and it just might be playing already ;)

Cheers and ciao for now!
