The Grand Prize Winner will receive the NMS Reflection Award, an award worth over $50,000 in prizes, at NMS on Wednesday, February 16th. The three NMS Artist on the Verge Project finalists were chosen from more than 800 acts that were evaluated and voted on by the NMS Music Committee. All artists were assessed based on analytics both online and traditional. Factors considered include: music sales (physical and digital), ticket sales, frequency of gigs, touring history, merchandise sales, media (both online and print), social media activity, online buzz and other factors as determined by the NMS Music Committee. Artists are further evaluated by using an arsenal of analytics from NMS Partners: BigChampagne, Next Big Sound, ReverbNation and OurStage; music industry experts and tastemakers. From this collected data, the NMS Music Committee selects The Artists on the Verge Top 100 and ultimately the Artist on the Verge Finalists. Shinobi Ninja http://www.shinobininja.com/ Formed in a Hell’s Kitchen NYC recording studio in early 2008, Shinobi Ninja is the offspring of Singers Dave Aaron and Baby Girl, Guitarists Maniac Mike and Adriano Morez, Drummer Terminator Dave, and DJ Axis. Combining the forces of songwriters, studio musicians, producers, engineers, dancers, battle DJs, and a chef, this “Voltron-esque” Mike Del Rio http://www.mikedelrio.com/ Mike Del Rio is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter & producer from New York City. He has recently released his debut EP, The Mad World and receiving critical and viral acclaim for his eclectic take on pop music. From fully producing, writing, and art directing his record to his growing list of national placements and syncs, Del Rio is carving out a niche for his vision as a true independent pop artist. Though branding himself as a "Future Pop" enthusiast, Del Rio hasn't forgotten the basics of what makes a true artist stand the test of time. He understands foremost that the songs themselves aside from production are at the heart of his vision, carefully crafting a growing list of pop anthems with cross genre and inter-generational appeal. In late 2007, Billboard Magazine hailed Del Rio as one of the Top Unsigned talents in the industry as part of the "Billboard Underground" The Daylights http://thedaylights.com/ The Daylights are a commanding three-piece emerging from the neon lights of Los Angeles, CA.
