Taylor Swift is often pointed out as the first music superstar to use MySpace to its fullest potential as a marketing machine. Well apparently MySpace has been kicking themselves for not signing the girl and have been trying to right their past wrongs. And what better way to do that then to sign your very own country act.
MySpace recently announced they have signed their very first country singer, 24-year-old KJ Testin to an ''artist development' deal. She will be the opening act for Ricochet in Indianapolis on September 18th.
From KJ's bio on her MySpace...
KJ Testin is a talented 24 year-old singer from the outskirts of Indianapolis, Indiana. Her love for music is equally matched by her desire to share music with others. She grew up on modern country and rock & roll, loving everything from Faith Hill & Shania to Journey & Fall Out Boy. KJ doesn't know if music will make her a star or wealthy... but she knows playing it is how she would like to spend the rest of her life.
She recently recorded four songs in Nashville with Producer/Mixer, Ben Fowler (Rascal Flatts, Brooks & Dunn, Blake Shelton).
The second half of 2009 will have KJ playing shows across the region, recording more songs, and working to build her fan/friend base. "I want to play everywhere I can, meet as many people as possible, and just keep this train rolling. Getting to meet people and share this music with them is such an awesome thing! Can I do it full-time?", KJ questions with a smile on her face.
Well, if all accounts are true, it sounds like KJ just might get a shot at making music her 9 to 5 real soon.
