Giving the artists such a huge platform for their music to be heard on, and for music fans to be able to vote and follow their progress throughout this stage of the competition, is truly ground-breaking and shows Salute at the forefront of championing new independent music and proves once again that Britain is leading the way in discovering the best new musical talent through the use of cutting-edge technology.”
