Melo To Appear At O'Brien Awards

Standardbred Canada is pleased to announce that 2007 Canadian Idol winner Brian Melo will sing the national anthem at the 2007 O'Brien Awards.

The Sony BMG recording artist born and raised in Hamilton, ON traded in his construction career for a life of music after a successful audition for Canadian Idol landed him a spot on the show.

Despite having been considered the underdog at the start of competition, Melo was crowned Canadian Idol on September 11, 2007. Brian's first single, 'All I Ever Wanted,' released on September 13, 2007, has since achieved top 5 status on Canada's National Radio Charts and his debut CD "Livin It" shipped Gold.

Melo was recently nominated for a 2008 Canadian Radio Music Award, presented by the Canadian Association of Broadcasters.

Melo's appearance is sponsored by Horse Racing Alberta.

Presented by Standardbred Canada, the O'Brien Awards will be handed out on Saturday, February 2 at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre in Mississauga, ON. Brian Melo will appear on stage at 7:30 p.m. to sing the national anthem.
