Tiësto is an artist who is constantly reinventing himself, and that’s what we’re also seeing with each new season of In the Booth.
New York (PRWEB) March 31, 2014
Today Tiësto and Believe Entertainment Group (BE) announced plans for season three of “In the Booth,” a documentary-style series that goes behind the scenes with the world-famous DJ to give fans an up-close and personal look at the dance music superstar’s life and the global movement he has fueled. 7UP® will be the anchor partner for season three, which is slated to go live on YouTube (youtube.com/tiesto) this summer.
“I love producing In the Booth and there will be plenty of surprises this season,” said Tiësto. “Not only will my fans see me as an artist, producer and DJ, but also as a mentor. I love working with other DJs and now I’m bringing them in to be a big part of my show.”
Believe Entertainment Group is the studio behind In the Booth season three and is responsible for financing, producing, selling and distributing the series; co-founders William H. Masterson III and Dan Goodman are co-executive producing along with Tiësto.
“With the continued explosion of EDM, we are committed to In the Booth and to continuing to expand this series for viewers,” said William H. Masterson III, Co-Founder, Believe Entertainment Group. “Tiësto is an artist who is constantly reinventing himself, and that’s what we’re also seeing with each new season of In the Booth. From starting as a performer and producer to owning his own record label, releasing a major new album this Spring with Universal, and mentoring artists all over the world, Tiësto opens up even more in season three about his passions and what really drives him. We’re excited to partner with 7UP as they take their first major step into EDM.”
As anchor partner, 7UP is collaborating with Believe Entertainment Group and Tiësto to expand In the Booth, and will be integrated into the series through interviews with three “Bubbling Up” artists who are some of EDM’s newest stars: Danny Ávila, The Disco Fries and Canadian duo Dzeko & Torres. As the DJs spend time with Tiësto connecting over music, food, sports and even fashion, Tiësto will share advice with each artist on how to navigate the EDM space and move forward in their career. The series will also explore each artist’s background, training, how they got their first break, and what they’re hoping to learn from working with Tiësto.
Highlights of season three’s seven episodes include Tiësto launching his much-anticipated fifth studio album and celebrating with a New York release party. He’ll also be performing for some of EDM’s biggest crowds at the nation’s biggest festivals, as well as working with a Baltimore charity that assists people in financial hardship, which is something that has always been important to Tiësto.
“We’re making a substantial play into dance music this year, and we see our collaboration with Tiësto and In the Booth as an opportunity to help connect fans even more with the music and artists that are exploding across the U.S.,” said Dave Falk, vice president of marketing for 7UP.
In the Booth has had continued success on a global scale, with tens of millions of views globally in its first two seasons, and has become a proven show and platform over the last three years for reaching Millennials. With the expansion of social mediums, Believe Entertainment Group has, and will continue to promote the series through Tiësto’s Twitter and Facebook channels, where he has a combined online audience of close to 19 million fans across the globe.
Tiësto also has 500,000 video views per day on YouTube and is in the Top 40 most subscribed music channels; he generates 11 million views per month -- a staggering 200 million-plus total views since launching his YouTube channel. Tiësto boasts the No. 1 artist podcast in the world, “Club Life,” with over 300,000 weekly subscribers, and his official website, tiesto.com receives over 400,000 visitors per month.
