BACKGROUND – youbloomDublin & youbloomLA

youbloom took off in 2009 as a weekly song contest. In 2010, it evolved into an annual online song contest, with judging led by The Boomtown Rats frontman, Bob Geldof. After three years, the song contest morphed in 2013 into youbloomDublin, a showcase music festival and conference in Dublin, Ireland, with 91 artists/bands from 11 countries. In 2014, the following year, Los Angeles was added with the launch of youbloomLA, a parallel music festival and conference. As a result, youbloom is connected to thousands of artists and hundreds of music industry leaders and companies.
