Altamonte Springs, Fla. Greg Rike Productions, Inc., in central Florida, the same facility that hosted MTV’s “The Making of the Band” with Otown, announces that they are looking for talent and giving away some recording contracts! The talent contest is open to any amateur with musical talent who would like the opportunity to win a recording contract to record in the same studio that has been used by Deep Purple, the Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter, Brittany Spears, Matchbox 20, Little River Band, Patti Labelle, Mandy Moore and others.

Contestants should send in a tape or CD with a photo to Greg Rike Productions, 1191 Douglas Avenue, Altamonte Springs, Fl 32714 along with their $30.00 entry fee. They can go to www.gregrikeproductions.com for the application and contest rules. Finalists will come to the studio and compete for the final round of the contest where three contestants will win recording contracts of varying amounts. Greg Rike Productions will work with these individuals and along with Borders who is a sponsor of the contest, will host some performances at local stores.

Dianne Moffett, Studio Manager at Greg Rike Productions, said, “due to overwhelming response the deadline to the contest has been extended to December 30th.”

“Behind every successful artist and entertainment company is a creative genius that contributes to their success and Greg is no exception,” Moffett said. Greg Rike said, “ We have seen a lot of talent walk through our doors since we opened 30 years ago. Some were famous when they came to us, some got famous after they left and others never got famous. Nonetheless, they all loved music. One thing we do know is that time is going by pretty fast and if you have talent and want to let anyone else hear it and enjoy it, you gotta record it!”
