From best selling author and radio celebrity news journalist comes the all new 'Cowell Factor' with Simon's big brother, Tony Cowell. Airing exclusively each weekend on the Fame Games Global Breakthrough Chartshow, if you want to study that art of what it takes to be famous, you've come to the right place.
Influences
The addictive and radically new daily radio show searching for the next big radio hit! Independent artists submit songs, fans vote their favorite and the most popular are aired, but must face the best musical team on radio. Includes The Cowell Factor, Red Carpet Interviews, the Global Breakthrough Chart and tons of new music worth sharing.
Sounds Like
...an amazing radio show with the best new Independent music!!
This is the MySpace home of Fame Games a radio show that plays and promotes music by Independent musicians!
We only play music that comes directly from the musicians. Musicians send us their songs; we upload them, they get reviewed, they get played, and we deal with the muscian DIRECTLY!!
Something Cool To Know: In a regular deal, Musicians pay out at least a quarter of their monies on radio promotion. When promoting through Fame Games musicians pay NOTHING and are played based on merit. So, if the song rocks it gets played A LOT!!
Fame Games airs 5 shows a week! 3 Qualifier shows, 1 semi-final and the Final!!
The Qualifier Shows: We air 3 qualifier shows on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Each show has 12 artists vying to make it onto the Semi-Sinal show the following week!
The Semi-Final Show: On Thursday the Semi-Final show airs, where we feature 12 acts that have made it from the previous weeks Qualifier shows!!
The Final Show: This is aired on Friday and features the acts that have made it from the Semi-Final the previous day and the reigning Track of the Week winner (unless they have won Track of the Month). We also feature: Indie Inside Information · We count down cdbaby.com Top 10 Sellers · Fame Games Mail · Previously on Fame Games · Special Dedication · Regular Rotational Airplay · And, our world famous TRACK OF THE WEEK contest!!
If a musicians song makes it to the Final show then it is in with a chance of winning TRACKOF THE WEEK. It will then be featured in the FAME GAMES HALL OF FAME and progress to the next main show. If a song wins TRACK OF THE WEEK four times in a row then it will win TRACK OF THE MONTH and will be featured in the HALL OF FAME and receive REGULAR ROTATIONAL AIRPLAY!
QUOTES ABOUT FAME GAMES!!
In-de-pen-dent: (adj) Not having on..’s life, career, and creative works over to a corporation! (Derek Sivers, cdbaby.com)
"...the Fame Games team (which is made up of various musicians, producers and big wigs) will play it and give valuable advice and exposure!" (The Hoi Polloi)
"...the best chance for real (and I emphasise "REAL"!) artists/bands to get that once-in-a-liftetime break into the music business.” (Sunbox)
"Love you all!" Thanks for a great visit! Fame Games Rocks!!" (Dave Van Dyke from ABC Radio Networks)
“There has never been anything remotely close to this in terms of scope, for Indie artists. It sounds almost too good to be true... the opportunities you’re giving us Indie artists here are absolutely mind boggling! Not much else I can say, other than WOW...” (missFLAG)

dj crier (Laura Krier)
This fast talking blonde is nothing but trouble. Being brought up on a farm, Laura would milk cows, plow fields and wring chickens necks to kill time. Now the often over-caffinated and sleep deprived diva strives for independent music to rule the world. In this attempt for world domination, Laura can be scary, but don't let that distract from her soulful voice and years of experience she brings to Fame Games table. Krier has performed all over the north central U.S., Japan, England and Spain and released her debut album in 2006. Blame it all on Laura, it was really her who's responsible for Fame Games as it's known—a service for independent artists.
Paul Sedkowski
If looking for Paul Sedkowski, follow the smell of coffee and cigarette smoke you'll be guided into the epicentre of what is Paul's studio. The resident songwriter, producer and know-it-all mystifies the Fame Games panel each show with his experience and expertise of the music business. Always liking a bit of everything, Paul gives each song due attention. Among his many achievements, this “could be Jeopardy champion” has produced over 4000 songs, a 1 hit and the music for the Barcelona Olympics. He is the brains, he is the lynchpin, and you WANT his approval.
Graham Keeling
A lover of “Old school” Rock ‘n' Roll and loud guitars with great riffs, musician's musician Graham Keeling frequently raises the eyebrows of the Fame Games crew with his “make no apologies” approach. Graham, who's played sessions with the likes of the Police and Wishbone Ash, is a guitar maestro who has played in many parts of Europe. Strictly Old School, he doesn't have the patience for wannabe time-wasters.
Sid Olivera
Think Casey Kasem with a British accent and you have Sid Olivera! The newest addition to this crazy group, Sid is a radio professional with an impressive past life working for the BBC. A booming voice and quick wit, Sid pays his dues however, as the “newbie” - fast learning what it takes to keep up with the ever-changing world of Internet culture and Indie music scene.
Jake Waby
Spiky-haired teenage heartthrob and artist in training, Jake offers insight into the complex, confused and occasionally perverted teenage mind. “I get satisfaction from music and all it's surprises,” Words from Waby, not the everyday 14 year old. Performing publicly since age 8, Waby has already mastered jumping while singing, dodging drunk dancers and avoiding the occasional beer bottle; skills that are essential for making it in the music business.
Lexy Badger-Ward
With the voice of an angel and the looks of a Hollywood movie starlette, this ex-Pampers model offers a second glimpse into abnormalities of teenagers. Lexy has been recording at the MMI studios and performing since 2006 with a handful of original songs under her silver glittered belt. But don't fooled by the British posh princess; this shy, turtleneck-wearing trendsetter won't hesitate, (but will blush like mad), to dis a song that wouldn't fly in her crowd.
