Radio Starmaker Fund Annual Report
2010 / 2011
Awards Won By Radio Starmaker Funded Artists
Success Fact: Justin Nozuka
The Radio Starmaker Fund has played an integral role in Justin Nozuka’s success both domestically and overseas. Having been awarded domestic and international touring monies, Justin was able to spend a great deal of time on tour promoting his sophomore album “You I Wind Land and Sea”. With Starmaker’s funding, Justin was able to tour Canada twice in 2010, which gave him the opportunity to expose his music to a much larger audience. This led to a 2011 Juno Award nomination for “Adult Alternative Album of the Year”, a category he shared with Neil Young. Starmaker’s support also helped the French version of Justin’s second single “Heartless (La Promesse)”, reach #1 on the Quebec Francophone Palmarès BDS Chart. Starmaker’s international marketing grant gave the song an extra push in France, which led to Justin winning the 2011 NRJ Award for Francophone Group/ Duo of the Year at the NRJ Awards in Cannes. Starmaker’s support for Justin Nozuka has allowed him to take his musical career to new heights.
