Manchester City launches Citybeats app to promote local music scenes
Manchester City Football Club has unveiled a new remixer music app with SoniqPlay, to discover and promote unsigned artists.
Part of Manchester City’s music engagement strategy, the free to download CityBeats app allows users to listen to a host of music from unsigned bands and producers and remix their own versions of the songs, which can then be shared online.
Mike Pickering, music ambassador for the CityBeats project, said: "Music and football are Manchester's most famous cultural exports and CityBeats will combine them both in a unique and dynamic way.
"You only need to look around the Etihad Stadium on a match-day and you might see Noel, Liam Gallagher and Johnny Marr. Hopefully CityBeats will help the next the generation of musicians and DJ's break through, from the stands to the stage."
