In late 2015 Miloco partnered with Sentric Music for the ‘The Next Big Sync’ competition, which gave Sentric Music members the chance to win an incredible prize pack, which included a sync mentoring program, professional mastering, free distribution, Jukebox servicing, access to Sync Market and a free two day session in any Miloco studio of the artist’s choosing.
Sentric Music is a fantastic independent music publisher, a company that’s home to over 65,000 songwriters that range from those just starting out, to those at the hight of their careers. Their catalogue represents hundreds of thousands of songs worldwide on behalf of songwriters, music publishers and other catalogue owners. We’re big fans of what Sentric do and have partnered with them previously for similar competitions that aim to foster the incredible talent in their roster of songwriters.
This particular competition closed on New Year’s Eve 2015 and after much careful deliberation over the weeks that followed, it has now been announced that the lucky winner of the grand prize is Liverpool solo artist Luke Cusato!
The 21 year old singer started writing and making music five years ago following the tragic loss of his best friend to illness, pouring his grief into his stunning and heartfelt debut EP Blueskies Sunrise. Two years later in 2014 Luke returned with the single ‘Nothing To Lose’, a powerful piano-backed track that showcased the maturation of Luke’s voice and skills as a songwriter. The past 12 months has seen Luke kick it up a notch, releasing his second EP, Backbone, and three subsequent singles including ‘Bodies’. With its delicate guitar work and and emotionally charged vocal the song caught the attention of many new music blogs when it was released in November, and clearly struck a chord with our friends over at Sentric Music too.
With his prize Luke will be recording at our iconic Liverpool partner studio The Motor Museum, a studio he feels right at home in having recorded there before with Al Groves and James Mellor.
Check out the stunning cover of James Vincent McMorrow’s ‘Cavalier’ that Luke recorded when he was last in The Motor Museum.
