VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY AWARD WINNING SONGWRITER RECOGNIZED BY ‘SONG OF THE YEAR’

Villanova University senior Conrad Heinz recently received the honor of being named ‘November 2005 Winner’ by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/ ) songwriting contest. Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest supporting VH-1’s Save the Music Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.

Song of the Year is excited to recognize Conrad for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song “Burn”. Conrad competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired the song Conrad commented that, “Every song tells a story. This story was inspired greatly by the many obstacles that every young adult encounters during the transition from adolescence to adulthood; like relationships, emotional dependencies, and uncertainty of ones own self. Being a college student, I tried to express my personal experiences and obstacles in one word with several underlying meanings - ‘Burn’ – which I’m sure most kids today would relate to and comprehend on a profound level.”

Currently, Conrad is concentrating on his music career while hoping to get a record deal, continue writing and performing his music, then moving on to work in music business/production. Conrad explains, “My passion is music, and I want to live my passion. Whether it be composing and performing my own material, or using my business background to manage and produce other talents, music is what I will do with my life.”
