    “We already know that there’s an incredible amount of undis­covered female vocal talent in Canada,” says Bluesfest’s ex­ecutive and artistic director, Mark Monahan. “This year’s ‘She’s the One’ competition not only proves it, it goes a long way to providing impetus for the careers of these  deserving young Canadian sing­ers.”

    The First Prize Package: One of the finalists will “Be the ONE” to win this year’s incredible grand prize! RBC Bluesfest is providing the She’s the One winner with a whirl-wind, career-building trip to Los Angeles to work with top LA-based music producer Barrett Yeretsian (Jar of Hearts, Christina Perri). They’ll record a song at the legendary Sunset Sound Record­ing Studio and take part in a star makeover photo-shoot and mu­sic tutorial prior to filming a Hol­lywood-style music video, cour­tesy of Popmania! In addition to the opportunity of a lifetime, the winner will walk away with a guitar from Daisy Rock Girl Guitars.
