Been singing in to your hairbrush in front of the mirror for as long as you can remember and haven’t been discovered yet? Maybe it’s time to put your musical knowledge and natural talent to good use and get a job as a music show presenter – on the internet!
Dublin-based MUZU.tv which is known for having the largest legal library of music videos on the Internet with a loyal viewership of 3.5 million, has launched the “The Faces of Muzu.tv†competition.

According to Dave Fannin, a producer at MUZU.tv, the company is delighted to begin the process of developing quirky, fun MUZU.tv shows.
“We really think that the search will provide a unique opportunity for anyone who loves music but is also seeking to gain the elusive foothold in television and Web presenting…. Our goal is to find people who can represent us and connect with our users by being friendly and relatable. As a music video website we are passionate about our subject matter and would expect the same from our presenters – whether their forte is music-related fashion, dance or a specific genre/style – all interests are welcome.â€
The organisers want to cast the net as wide as possible so the Faces of MUZU.tv search is open to anyone who feels they have the energy and talent to front a music show. “Previous experience is always a plus but it isn’t a necessity – there are potential presenters out there who are just naturally gifted and definitely deserve to be given a chance. Certain skills can be learned but charisma is not one of them.â€
Most shows will be recorded on a weekly basis, whereas music news will be daily. The initial flagship shows will cover all music genres, and include music news, reviews, performance and interviews from international as well as home grown artists.
There is a catch though – an obvious one for the roles in question – the application process involves submitting a video reel which will be available for other applicants and visitors to the MUZU.tv site to view. “There is the option for people to leave comments for or about their favourite presenters which will mean that the search is incorporating public opinion as well. The successful candidates will be asked to do a couple of screen tests at the MUZU studios before any final decisions are made,†he adds.
According to Fannin, MUZU.tv has plenty more ideas in the pipeline and he feels certain other concepts will emerge when they meet applicants. “There’s definitely potential for a host of different personalities to find a home at MUZU.tv.â€
