Serena Williams and WeMix.com, the premiere online music creation community for independent musicians, announced today an exclusive partnership in order to create an original theme song made specifically for her tennis matches.
Independent musicians, songwriters, producers, rappers and singers can submit their work inspired by and about Serena Williams to the "Serena's Song" contest. Serena will select her personal favorite songs as Finalists, and the winner will be chosen in early May by the online communities at WeMix.com and Serena's website. The winner of the contest will be taken into the studio to professionally record what will become Serena's official theme music and will also go to the premiere of the song at the Bank of the West Classic, in Stanford, CA., in late July. The new theme song will be used at tennis matches, public appearances and a variety of other outlets by Serena.
"Sports and music have such a powerful connection," says Serena. "I always see athletes including myself listening to music, while they're getting ready for or decompressing after a match, or a race, or a game, whichever the sport. WeMix provides fans with a fun and unique way to get involved and be a part of that process. I use my website www.serenawilliams.com as a way to interact with my fans, and hopefully I can use WeMix.com to continue that interaction and include my fans more in that part of my game. "So please log on and make a fun, upbeat song that motivates me and others."
"We're thrilled to announce another unique creative event," said WeMix founder Matt Apfel. "Eclectic partners like Serena Williams help engage our talented community to create thousands of new songs, and that's always a good thing."
"Pop music knows no boundaries," added WeMix Founder Chris Bridges. "We're hoping to prove that yet again with the "Serena's Song" contest."
Beginning today, March 3, 2009, artists interested in submitting an original Serena Williams theme song to the "Serena's Song" contest can visit WeMix.com. Finalists will be chosen in early May. Complete contest rules and details can be found on WeMix.com
