By: EMC|BOWERY Last year’s successful beginning broke new ground and made a mark in the entertainment industry by changing the traditional concert platform and launched solid brands that have the ability to bridge the gap of web and mainstream. Proof of this transformation is seen in the international acclaim and success of The DigiTour alumni, who most recently swept the New Media category at the 2011 AMA’s with all three honorees having participated in last year’s DigiTour. These winners were Karmin, who also went on to sign a major recording contract with Epic Records, DeStorm, and Christina Grimmie who joined Selena Gomez on her “We Own the Night” tour after her run on the DigiTour. DigiTour founders and producers Meridith Valiando, Chris Rojas, and Sarah Penna say “We have become the launching pad for self-made YouTube stars to take their shows on the road- we’ve created an institution to celebrate these web superstars annually and give their fanatic subscribers an opportunity to see their favorite YouTube stars live.” “Neuro represents the lifestyle of innovation, creativity and social consciousness of the youth culture that celebrates online artists. We are proud to support the emerging talent on the DigiTour to promote the rise of a new generation of pop culture phenomenons,” In a review of last year's show, leading provider of online media and global technology Gigaom.com noted: "For artists best known for playing music by themselves for a web audience, they were all adept live performers who know how to work a crowd, It was a darn good concert…” Dallas Morning News reporter commented, “A pop-culture phenomenon made a full-circle voyage Friday night at the House of Blues: YouTube’s DigiTour came to town.” Additionally, The Business Insider stated, “The first show of the YouTube-sponsored DigiTour offered solid proof that musical talent translates from a web cam to a live venue.” About The DigiTour The DigiTour is the first ever-large scale North American tour bringing your favorite-iconic YOUTUBE musicians to life.
