The News Boy George Fabulous

"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."
