Megastar announced singer songwriter, Andie Case as the winner of its global mobile talent competition on December 15, awarding her $1 million U.S. dollars, the right to audition for a role in a digital film produced by Digital Riot Media/John Baldecchi and several other prizes. Creative Director, Head Judge, Mentor and Investor, Usher, announced the winner during a live stream on the Megastar App last Friday night. Megastar is the world's foremost Mobile Talent Competition, where the winner was chosen by fans and celebrity judges, including Usher and BASE jumper/wingsuit pilot Jeb Corliss, who followed the competition and voted in the Megastar App.
"Through her own unique voice and original music, Andie was able to connect to a large part of the Megastar audience and go on to win the million dollar first prize. This is a great accomplishment for an independent artist that now has the means to further invest in her own career the way she wants without any strings attached. Megastar is an empowering platform for independent artists," said Usher. Singer songwriter Andie Case has spent several years forging her path as a loud and unforgiving talent who connects with fans through catchy hooks and messages of empowerment, love and loss. After a school expulsion and move to Los Angeles that had her living out of her car at the age of 18, the young singer climbed her way to the iTunes Top 100 with a cover of Jason Derulo's "Want to Want Me" and received MTV's Cover of the Year award for her and Mike Tompkins' cover of "Stay" by Zedd and Alessia Cara. With 1.2 million subscribers and more than 182 million views on YouTube, Case has continued to expand her fan base through her original music, ever-growing social media reach and live appearances with a family of talented peers brought together by Fullscreen, a global leader in social-first entertainment experiences.Megastar is available to download for free on the App Store and Google Play.
