MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- 08/05/09 --
A pop icon synonymous with creative
collaboration from his early days as lead singer of the 1980s group Culture
Club to his current work with David Hoyle (The Divine David), Boy George has turned to
Talenthouse to identify artists from around the world to help finalize his
new dance track "Yes We Can." Talenthouse is a new global creative
platform for artists, providing opportunities for creative collaboration,
recognition and compensation.
"The idea is to bring together different creative entities, people that may
want to work together or inspire others, which is why I'm involved with
Talenthouse. If Talenthouse had been around in the early eighties, I would
have totally been involved in it then too," said Boy George. "The Internet
is definitely changing the way people promote themselves. The music
industry has changed drastically for a lot of artists, even people like me
who are established. You can no longer rely on the ordinary processes of
releasing records."
Boy George is taking advantage of Talenthouse's Artist Invite to discover
new talent to collaborate with on his upcoming track. Artist Invites
provide opportunities for artists to collaborate with one another on a wide
range of projects. Anyone who is a member of the Talenthouse community can
extend an Artist Invite to participate on projects ranging from designing a
logo to composing music to producing or performing in a film or video. The
Talenthouse community then offers their input by voting on the ideas they
like best.
Using the Talenthouse Artist
Invite, Boy George has made an a capella version of his track "Yes We Can"
available on Talenthouse and invited artists to create a club dance mix for
the track. The five artists who receive the highest number of votes from
the Talenthouse community will present their ideas and tracks to Boy
George. From this group, Boy George will choose the artist with whom he
will collaborate to finalize the track.
Talenthouse members can submit their original club dance mixes of "Yes We
Can," until September 15, 2009 for consideration. Boy George will announce
the winner on October 1, 2009. All members and fans of the creative
community can sign up for a free account at www.talenthouse.com.

About the Talenthouse logo
Talenthouse understands and recognizes the challenges that artists face
when trying to reach their audiences and achieve recognition for their
talents. For this reason, Talenthouse chose a logo taken from the West
African "Adinkra" series of symbols, which depicts a snake climbing a
raffia tree. The raffia tree has many thorns and is very challenging to
climb. Simply translated, this symbol means, "to achieve the impossible."
