Hyundai's Musical Influence: the Amplifier Center Stage

Hyundai Amplifier Center Stage - Burlington Hyundai
Image from the Amplifier Center Stage
"Focused on the road ahead, Hyundai and the GRAMMYs created Amplifier Center Stage -- an innovative platform aimed to mentor emerging artists and provide them the opportunity to elevate their careers by having their voices heard. Three artists are annually awarded three unique opportunities -- a recording session with a GRAMMY winning producer, a music video with a noted director and an opening slot for a major tour or festival." - Hyundai & Music

Hyundai RE:GENERATION MUSIC PROJECT - Burlington Hyundai
Skrillex and members of The Doors for RE:GENERATION
We love that Hyundai appreciates music and musical talent, and that they aim to spread what they can more widely to the public. Hyundai also released a documentary that focused on several musicians of varying genres in their RE:GENERATION film, which featured five of the top DJs in the world working to re-imagine five traditional pieces of music. These projects are both outlets for Hyundai to more widely embrace the "New Thinking, New Possibilities" slogan.

If you're an aspiring artist, head to the Amplifier Center Stage page, where you can upload your music or listen to many of the other artists uploading to the page.
