Determined to offer an alternative promotion vehicle for artists, America's Biggest debuted with a soft-launch of its website and talent contest on July 4th, 2005.

"We started by connecting with a small group of solo artists and bands that had heard about the contest through word-of-mouth, message boards, blogs, and newsgroups," said America's Biggest Executive Producer Lisa Sirlin. "It's gratifying to see the contestants working hard to get their fans to register and vote, thereby increasing their chances of winning. Our grass-roots effort is growing - musicians are thrilled that America's Biggest helps level the playing field and allows the artists the chance to be creative in how they market themselves."

America's Biggest will continue in its soft-launch phase through Fall of 2005 to refine its technology and build on current grass roots momentum.
