CES 2008 MusicGiants

CES 2008 was great! The MusicGiants camp in the Grand lobby was buzzing with great energy thanks to all our hardware partners and artists that were part of our booth this year!



We had Qsonix, Azentek, Cutting Edge PC's, Logitech, Olive, Seagate, Request, CRU Data Port, Envive, D-Tools, Fuze, Russound and Toshiba in and around the booth. Everyone was showing off their latest gear and highlighting the MusicGiants HD content and our HD store integration into their products.


It was great to have a collective of CEDIA companies all there to represent! I witnessed several consumers walking past commenting on the gear displayed around our booth and how it was all very high end quality product! Good to see and hear from the general consumers out there and not just those that frequent the CEDIA and EHX gatherings!



There was no shortage of talent in the booth this year from both the hardware partners and the artists that came to help us promote HD Entertainment! We were very exited to have Lily, Shameus, and Leon Patillo(formerly of Santana) return this year again to CES and perform on the MusicGiants/Universal stage. We had some new artists enter into the CES Mix and rock the Grand Lobby(85 decibels, maybe a little over, rockin' it!) Soulfege came from both coasts of the US and put down some great beats to get the crowd dancin'. Not many other booths at CES had attendees busting out sweet dance moves i'll bet!!! Mistah FAB came down from San Fran to rap a few songs and did some serious freestyling with guidance from Lily on topics like ice cream and pictures!

Ben Jelen was out from New York and sang some great songs from his new album ex-sensitive, oh by the way you can buy it here in our store, http://mgn.musicgiants.com/Albums.aspx?ARTIST=26433. I was not around to see Rue Melo for her sets, however everyone was talking about it when I returned to the booth. It sounds like everyone was pretty pumped on her performance.

You can find all the artists that performed in our booth on our events page at http://www.musicgiants.com/. There are free sample downloads form each artist also. Big thanks to Universal for helping pull together the promo gear for the stage!
