Grammy-nominated production team, Midi Mafia, is on the hunt for the next big star.   For the remainder of February, the duo will be accepting submissions via Blazetrak.com, a web-platform that allows celebrity professionals a controlled environment for recruiting talent for upcoming projects, and users from all over the world a guaranteed video response from these professionals as well as the chance of a lifetime.

Sponsored by BBM Group, Midi Mafia will be conducting their Blazetrak reviews live on their new weekly web series, entitled “Casa Mafia,” which will be streamed on both Ustream (www.Ustream.tv/midimafia) and their official website: themidimafia.com.

Over the course of 3 webisodes, 15 aspiring artists will be given the amazing opportunity to be reviewed and showcased on the most active live-streaming website on the internet.  Submissions will be accepted via Blazetrak.com all month long (deadline: February 28^th), and 15 of these submissions will be chosen for the live events, with five artists being reviewed per webisode.

The webisodes will air every Tuesday in March starting on March 2^nd [4pm - 6pm PST / 7pm – 9pm EST].  Throughout the month of March, fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorites via polling on themidimafia.com.  During the fourth episode of the month, airing Tuesday, March 23^rd, Midi Mafia will be interacting with fans and reviewing the poll results in order to choose a winner from the 15 Blazetrak reviews.

Ultimately, Midi Mafia will select who they deem the most talented as the official winner of the series.  The winner will receive the experience of a lifetime, including a first class flight to LA to spend the weekend with Midi Mafia working together in their studio to record and polish one track that will later be showcased on both Blazetrak.com and themidimafia.com.

For this talent search specifically, Midi Mafia will be looking for artists (all ages) that can sing and/or play instruments.  They will be seeking out a fresh sound that will be highly marketable for radio and live performances.  Users are invited to submit one original audio track that best represents his or her talent via Blazetrak, for a fee of $100 per submission.  All submissions will be graded on a scale of 1 – 5 based on the following criteria: marketability, voice/instrumental quality, and originality.

Throughout the web series, users can expect unpredictable visitors to be popping in and out of the Midi Mafia house, including some of the top names in entertainment.

All submissions will receive a guaranteed video response directly from Midi Mafia, even if not chosen for the live event.

Midi Mafia, consists of co-producers Dirty Swift and Bruce Waynne, who are known for creating some of the biggest hits on the charts today.  Their clients include: 50 Cent, Jennifer Lopez,  John Legend, Brandy, David Archuleta, Justin Beiber and Nelly, just to name a few.
