Now in its third year, The Singer/Songwriter Awards from We Are Listening has produced winners that have gone on to sign publishing deals, license their catalogues to US network television and secure prominent management and PR. IVO is the third addition to the 2007 winners' table following the success of Canadian rock duo, Drowning Girl and Israeli-born, Tami Machnai, earlier in the year.

Fitness blogger, Neal Rodriguez, saw the Hector Lavoe movie, "El Cantante," about a week and a half back, and he had Hector Lavoe's song, "Aguanile," looping in his head while doing his wind sprints the following morning. He sang the first few lines of the song in front of his camera and uploaded it to YouTube.
