Houston, Texas/USA: Singer-Songwriter Niels Cremer of Munich/Germany recently received the honor of being named Finalist (out of categories “Winner”, “Finalist”, “Honorable Mention”, “Suggested Artist” and “Runner Up”) by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/) songwriting contest out of Houston, Texas. Song of the Year is an international songwriting contest. 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 Niels for his exceptional songwriting ability for the song “I’ll Take The Early Train”. Niels competed against songwriters from all over the world for this honor. When asked what inspired the song, Niels commented that the song is about letting go when all you want to do is hold on, a situation familiar to many and experienced in many different circumstances, “Something I hope people can relate to”, says Niels.

Currently Niels is concentrating on his songwriting and performing career while hoping to promote his debut EP “Seed, Creed & Generation” to the audience and the industry. He is also working on a long-player with friend and producer Atze Ton of Atzeton Music Productions.
