Skyfactor chosen out of hundreds as semi-finalist in CBS Music Competition
CBS Mornings chose Skyfactor as a semi-finalist in their
Mixtape Music Competition. We weren't the winners - it was always a longshot that they would choose a rock'n'roll band to be the soundtrack of a network morning show campaign - but also a huge honor to be in the final 12 out of hundreds and hundreds of artists. WELCOME to all the new Skyfactor listeners and followers that this amazing exposure brought on board, THANK YOU ALL for supporting us in the fan vote, GOOD LUCK to the winner, and THANK YOU to CBS Mornings for this very cool experience!
