What is Fame Games

Fame Games is not “just a music radio show.” In fact, it’s nothing short of a revolution in how music is selected and promoted today. Fame Games gives the best independent artists valuable A&R opportunities, advice and career guidance, as well as a potentially massive new audience through network radio play based on merit (finally!), compiled daily using a sophisticated song evaluation system.

Fame Games introduces discerning listeners to the very best new music, produced by “undiscovered” independent and “unsigned” artists. Shockingly, the quality of music which reaches the top of the Fame Games charts easily rivals (and often outstrips) the quality of music listeners are force-fed by national network radio and TV.

Fame Games is formatted as an entertaining, daily radio show, with something for everyone. New music is showcased and discussed and put in context for new fans to discover and embrace. The show is a “front” for MMI’s complex song evaluation system which continues to find the very best new artists and songs every day. The show’s host, DJ Crier, is supported by a diversified judging panel which includes accomplished music industry professionals as well as representatives of divergent demographics, in order to best reflect upon any song’s “crossover” potential.

With incisive song analyses, entertaining presenters, frequent world-famous guests on “The Red Carpet” and most importantly showcases of the best music you never knew existed, Fame Games is guaranteed to keep you glued to your radio day in and day out!

Fame Games also features the exclusive “Cowell Factor,” presented by Tony Cowell (Simon’s older, wiser brother and head of CowellMedia). This strategic alliance has nothing to do with the likes of American Idol or X-Factor. In fact, it’s a wholehearted endorsement of something quite opposite. Tony’s come onboard to help Fame Games to discover (and place!) real, un-manufactured world-class musical talent!

Fame Games airs daily through CitadelMedia (ABC) radio networks, as well as on demand, online on the Fame Games and MeerMusic sites and affiliated sites.

Fame Games is the best place for artists and fans to meet, and entertain realistic hopes of saving the world from bad music!

Full Bio
´´Throw your words at me, I’ll have my way with them,´´ mocks young and sharp-tongued singer, guitarist and songwriter, Alexx Calise.

Delivering a sound that is both fresh and uniquely her own, Calise combines hard rock, electronica, and urban-edged pop with crunchy guitars, angsty lyrics, and an instantly identifiable vocal that is hauntingly beautiful and completely raw all at once.

Calise grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she spent her childhood mostly alone or in the pages of a notebook, finding comfort only in her parents’ vast record collection, which included everything from Mozart to Led Zeppelin. At 11, she picked up the guitar to emulate her father, also a talented musician, and began fusing the melodies she heard in her head with her own poetry and recitations.

Now living in Los Angeles, California and continuing along the same path, Calise is endorsed by over 13 music gear/clothing manufacturers, she has appeared in several national TV commercials, shows and special programs (including the Discovery Channel documentary, ´´The Science of Sex Appeal´´), and she has been featured in Blender magazine, Guitar World, and the how-to/method book, ´´How to Succeed as a Female Musician´´ alongside such notable musicians as Lisa Loeb and The Donnas. Her music is in heavy rotation on MTV/VH1 Networks, and on thousands of radio stations internationally. Most recently, Alexx´s song, ´´Morning Pill´´ was used in a One Tree Hill promo, she appeared as the lead guitarist for a Disney Imagineering DVD about soundwaves, and she was featured on Boston´s #1 Hit Station, Kiss 108 FM as a ´´hot up-and-coming indie artist.´´

In Avanti, Calise´s followup to her critically-acclaimed debut, Morning Pill will be released in April of 2010. She will also be releasing her debut album with other music project, Sound of Cancer (with accomplished drummer/songwriter, Dennis Morehouse) in the upcoming months.

Short Bio
A long-locked young rocker with serious guitar, vocal and songwriting chops, Alexx Calise has been generating serious buzz around her brazenly titled debut, Morning Pill. While her screaming guitars, vibrato-laden vocals and cutting edge production have fans flocking to her, she makes a point to address weighty issues like organized religion, sex, the human psyche and politics in her lyrics…
