**COMPETITION CLOSED** Wize beat challenge - MCs & VOCALISTS - Pioneer DDJ + £250 studio credit up for grabs

Great entry @atalenoire! You’ve got a natural flow that really shines here - and some great lyricism too. Don’t worry too much about production values - we’re just interested in the creativity and talent on display.

How long have you been writing for?

im in a band called a tale noire but we are like a concept metal band with every song being based around a story that i have kind of written and presenting through the tracks so very different to this but I’ve done odd bits of solo stuff over the years nothing quite as in depth as this though i was worldbeater in the discord server

Some great entries above! I tried to go for a Kelly Rowland/Usher/Ciara R&B vibe with the melody. Still needs some more towards the end of the song. This is a rough recording on my phone but I love this beat.

Winners announced tomorrow morning! Will make sure everyone gets a bit of credit for the wait.

We’re cooking up another challenge for you too - should be a fun one.

Hey everyone. We’re finally ready to announce our winners! Apologies for the delay on this one - it was a super tough decision but we’re all in agreement now…

Massive congratulations to @ImiSmith - you are our winner! We absolutely loved the direction you went with your take, and your vocals are just sublime. The melody grew on us more and more with each listen. Congrats - you take home £250 studio credit and a Pioneer DDJ-200.

And a big shout out to our two runner ups, @Nics - your entry was amazing and really showed off your skills as an MC - we’re looking forward to seeing what you do in the future. And finally, @Antonia_Carrena - despite recording your take on a phone, your vocals really shone through and we absolutely loved the melody you developed for it. You both win £100 studio credit to use at any of our locations.

And thanks to everyone else who entered. This was a really tough one to call and we went back and forth on the final list quite a lot. There was a great variety in the entries and because of that (and for making you wait on the final call), we’ll be giving you all a bit of credit to enjoy at any of our studios.

We’re launching another competition very shortly for our MCs and vocalists so keep an eye out for an announcement in the coming days! It should be a fun one for everyone.

@atalenoire Congrats! The credit will automatically be added to your Pirate account today. I’ll drop you a message once it’s done :slight_smile:

Any idea what you’ll be working on once you get to the studio?

I basically do all these off style comps for credit for my band and I managed to fix our drummer and get him some help so once everything is back up and running we’re gna be in the every week making loud noises again. Question can a band be considerred education or business? Lol.

Congratulations @ImiSmith!
