AOV Top 100 Class of 2013

Announcing the “Artist On The Verge – Top 100” Class of 2013.

Chosen by the NMS A&R Committee, comprising industry experts, The AOV Top 100 Chart is designed to promote artists who are already picking up steam, and help them rise above the noise to receive the national recognition they deserve.

These 100 promising artists, selected from over 1,000 nominees, will have the opportunity to showcase their talent at the NMS New York Music Festival. Three lucky finalists will be selected to perform at the AOV Showcase, where they will be critiqued by a panel of industry experts. One Grand Prize Winner will emerge, and walk away with more than $100,000 in consultations, promotion, marketing, and music equipment.

The NMS A&R committee relies on analytics from Next Big Sound and Musicmetric, as well as nominations from industry tastemakers and NMS Partners, who supply NMS with the artists they believe are about to break out.
