Super Bowl XVI will be especially exciting this year since we’ve arranged with Verizon Wireless to bring the music of Indaba to NFL fans. Three killer NFL hip hop anthems from the Banshee Music opportunity will be distributed as part of a mobile “iD to Win” contest.
If you own a Verizon Android phone, dial **iD (**43) and play either of the football contests in “iD to Win”. You could win tickets to this year’s or next year’s Super Bowl, but even if you don’t, you can download the three mp3s, compliments of Indaba Music and in8 Mobile. Play ‘em back on your phone for the perfect soundtrack to Super Bowl Sunday.
You can check out the three featured artists here to get yourself amped up for the Pats-Giants action:

Music’s been a part of my life for a very long time. If there’s such a thing as a skill-hoarding disorder – I have it. I started playing piano when I was 4 and the violin when I was 9. I loved both and took lessons for years. I was concert mistress of several string ensembles and orchestras growing up (including a fiddle group where I wore a cowboy hat). I was in several of my school’s musicals (on stage and in pit). I’ve also taken classical singing lessons, learned to play snare for drum line, and taught myself to play a little bit of guitar and ukulele. On the flip side, I’m a bit of an audiophile. My dad and I used to build sound amplifiers and go to ham fests to check out vintage speakers and tubes. We spent a lot of nights in our basement listening to jazz records.
Some Fun Facts: I love knitting. My favorite non-musical sound: animals drinking water. I’m addicted to the Internet, like everyone else. I have a replica of the record player in the movie A Clockwork Orange. Continue reading
