K96-3, Kelowna’s Classic Rock and the Music BC Industry Association August 5 announced the winner of the 2014 K96-3 Emerging Artist Program – Willhorse!

The K96-3 Emerging Artist Program is an artist development program designed for B.C.’s interior region. Funded by the Canadian Content Development contribution of K96-3 FM, Music BC is proud to continue the development of a program to educate, inspire and support five emerging musical artists, with over $10,000 in cash and prizes.

The 2014 top five artists were awarded $1000 to complete a recording of a new, previously unreleased song, which was part of the overall assessment of the artist. The newly recorded songs will be released though K96-3FM as the K-COMP 2014 CD at Parks Alive later this August.

Along with the assessment of their recording the artists were also adjudicated on their live performance at Keloha Arts and Music Festival, as well as their final “gap report” which outlined the areas of their careers that need attention and what the artist would have done to fill the gap.

Willhorse will be awarded $4000 cash, $300 in gear courtesy of Wentworth Music as well as a headlining slot at the Music BC Showcase during Rifflandia Music Festival in Victoria. The second and third runners up – Raquel Cole and Immaculate will each receive $100 courtesy of Wentworth Music.
