Congratulations Finalists -- What a Show!
Y'all did it.  You made How Down a hands-down success!  Since the launch of this event six weeks ago, we've ...
  • Inspired more than 600 singers/performers from all over the world to drop their Sound
  • Tallied more than 1,600 song uploads
  • Counted over 12,000 votes
And you've now selected ten finalists who will go head-to-head during our live Sound Off event on November 8. Now keep in mind, the Sound Off is a closed door affair -- but we will be video taping the singer showdown, along with reaction by the crowd and our celebrity judges.   So, keep listening to all this great How Down music -- and get ready for the Sound Off event show to be posted here on November 9th.

The Vote: You Should Know ...

Less than a week to go before the How Down online poll closes -- are you gaining traction?   Three things to keep in mind when you ask people to show you some How Down love ...
 Number 1: To vote, your friends, family and fans will need to join Kaneva.  It's free and easy -- plus, they can use their Profile to help promote you--and take advantage of Kaneva's social networking features to grow your fan base. 
Number 2: Make sure you tell everyone to go to the Listen and Vote page and use SEARCH to find your music.  That's where the vote counts.  If they're going to your Kaneva profile to Rave your song, it won't count.
Number 3: Don't get hung up on the people at top with two or three songs each.  Only one of their songs count.  The bottom line: the ten performers who receive the most votes are THE FINALISTS--and move on to the live Sound Off event November 8.
Now go get more votes.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to win cash and get heard by four music industry heavyweights.
