A LIVERPOOL teenager has been short-listed in a prestigious song writing competition for young people.
Danny Dunne, 17, has been named among the finalists of the 2009 Make It Break It awards, run by Yamaha and the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
His song Said Too Much was chosen by a judging panel headed by Coldplay’s Chris Martin.
LIPA founder Sir Paul McCartney said: “I like the experience MIBI gives and what it does for young songwriters who want to get their songs in front of a public audience.”
From the finalists, the judges will now select six winners to perform at an awards ceremony at the Mount Street fame school in November.
The winners of two age categories will receive an all expenses paid music academy at LIPA packed with master-classes, an A&R meeting with EMI and a recording session.
