It's an honor to be surrounded by so many talented stars who want to speak directly to new artists and help them elevate their careers
The series features exclusive video interviews airing on WeMix.com's newly-minted "Knowledge" section, with each celebrity presenting their own opinions and advice on a variety of topics that affect all unsigned artists. Unsigned artists are able to respond directly to each topic through comments, blogs, and a unique voice-mail system enabling them to ask questions and leave audio feedback.

"It's an honor to be surrounded by so many talented stars who want to speak directly to new artists and help them elevate their careers," said Bridges. "It's our responsibility as established artists to never forget the struggles facing new talent as they break in to the music business."

The video series was taped on location at recording studios, hotel rooms, even tour buses, with personal tips on important topics such as:

  • The state of music today
What's right and what's wrong with the music business - and what kind of changes can help

  • Songwriting + producing
Advice on how to use personal experiences in songwriting and how to get the most out of valuable studio time

  • Breaking In
Stories and tips on how to stay focused and take critical next steps to get your music heard

  • Reviews + haters
Thoughts on bad reviews - and how even haters can make you a better artist

  • Live performance
Why live music matters more than most new artists realize - and how to maximize your on stage performance

Many additional episodes are planned for 2009, with celebrity mentors from the world of rock, pop, hip-hop, and country.
New Artists will also have the ability to connect directly with superstars and ask their own questions in live mentoring sessions.
