Hyundai and The Recording Academy announce the launch of the third annual Grammy Amplifier – an online music initiative aimed at mentoring emerging artists and providing them the opportunity to elevate their careers by showcasing their talent.

Three-time Grammy and Brit winner Mark Ronson will serve as the 2015 Grammy Amplifier Ambassador alongside this year’s program curators – current 57th Grammy nominees The Band Perry and Ziggy Marley, and singer / songwriter Allen Stone.

The ambassador and curators will vet talent via online submissions and select the program’s three winners who will individually be awarded one of the following prizes: (1) a studio recording session with a Grammy winning producer; (2) filming and starring in their own music video with a noted director; or (3) securing an opening spot for a noted musician and / or at a music festival.

Artists can send their submissions at GrammyAmplifier.com. Based on their track plays and social media “amplifications,” the top 25 finalists will be brought together for a Grammy Amplifier mentorship experience.

The top 25 will then be whittled down by program curators to a short list of finalists, at which point the program ambassador will select the final three winners and align each of them with one of three top prizes.
