Attention Oliver Stone and Michael Moore! Composer/producer David Steele of Chez Groove has a prize-winning song he wants you to hear ? and maybe use it in the films you plan to produce about the presidential election.
“Song of Hope” by Steele and collaborator Nina Khoury, is so good that it won a $5,000 cash prize from an online political contest.
The contest was mediacurves.com’s “Ballads for Ballots” that called for song submissions for either Democratic or Republican candidates. The public voted for the song they liked best and the winner was the Steele-Khoury submission.
Back in April, Steele wanted to write “a positive, inspirational theme song that I could present to the campaign,” he said. He wrote the music and Khoury, an aspiring singer whose day job is creative project coordinator at marketing agency Remedy.
