Casio Music UK, one of the world’s most renowned producers of electronic keyboards and digital pianos, has announced the return of Casio Sessions, its popular singer-songwriter competition for aspiring piano-playing musicians - with applications now open.

Building on the success of last year, Casio is excited to raise the bar even higher, giving a new group of talented individuals the chance to showcase their musical abilities for the chance to win an incredible prize; a Casio PX-S7000 piano, worth £2,249 plus an exclusive mastering studio session for their winning song, with the song then pressed to a limited run of vinyl records - courtesy of competition partner and physical music manufacturer Breed Media.

Casio is inviting piano-playing singer-songwriters from all around the UK to enter online by submitting a video of themselves playing an original composition - covers will not be considered. Twelve entrants will then be handpicked to compete in a live final at the stylish Ninety One Living Room jazz bar in Brick Lane, London, on Wednesday 4th September 2024.

Finalists will perform in front of a live audience and panel of judges on Casio’s award-winning PX-S7000 in the stunning Harmonious Mustard finish, the same type of piano the winner will take home. Performances will be judged on various criteria including stage presence and writing, singing and playing ability.

Entries to Casio Sessions 2024 are open until midnight on August 6th. Musicians must all be based in the UK, and entrants are required to submit an original video audition and complete a simple form via the Casio website to be considered for the live final – all ages and musical styles welcome. The full terms and conditions, including full scoring criteria, can be found via the link below.
