Matisyahu is Xbox Live Artist Of The Month
Matisyahu, the first Hasidic Jewish reggae singer, is Xbox Live’s Artist Of The Month for June. For the gamers and fans, this means they can get Matisyahu’s video “Youth” in a high-definition version from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The singer will also be participating in an exclusive Xbox Live “Game with Fame” session, playing NHL 2K6. Players can win a chance to play together with him on that occasion, and they’ll also be able to win an Xbox 360 and a signed copy of Matisyahu’s newest CD, “Youth”, which debuted in March at the number one spot in Billboard’s Top Internet Albums Chart, Digital Albums Chart and Reggae Chart.
Having been chosen as the Artist Of The Month, Matisyahu himself commented: Gaming is a great way to connect with people and Xbox Live gives me the ability to reach out and connect with fans from all over the world. Being the Xbox Live Artist of the Month is a huge accomplishment and IÂ’m looking forward to getting online and playing some NHL 2K6 during the Game with Fame.
Previous Xbox Live Artists Of The Month were Natasha Bedingfield and The Fray. The program tries to bring gamers closer to their stars, as music videos get available on the Marketplace and musicians compete against regular players on Xbox Live. Of course, the cynics among us might argue that this feature is nothing more than a promotion program for Epic Records, where all of the present and past artists of the month are signed. But yeah, the interpretation is entirely up to you…
