"Best Thing I Got" Chosen to Compete to Represent Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest Awards 2012

Online, January 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - -In 2010, songwriting duo Julie Frost and John Gordon wrote the song that won Germany the Eurovision Song Contest Award for the first time in 28 years: "Satellite", sung by Lena Meyer-Landrut, then topped music charts and became the name of a car in Europe. This year, Frost and Gordon wrote "Best Thing I Got", an upbeat pop love song sung by Aya (a.k.a., Yanne Friis), who will compete alongside nine artists on January 21 at the Gigantium Arena in Aalborg, Denmark for a chance to represent Denmark at the Eurovision Song Contest Awards in Baku.

In the last two years, Frost has become one of the most sought-after American songwriters today and has worked with top-selling artists around the world. Frost is nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for co-writing "Masterpiece" with Madonna and Jimmy Harry: the song was produced by William Orbit to be featured in Madonna's new film, "W.E." and her highly anticipated upcoming album.

Frost has co-written songs for many artists' including: Beyonce's single "Countdown" on her recent platinum selling album "4"; the Black Eyed Peas' "Just Can't Get Enough", which is one of Billboard's top 10 songs of 2011 on their album. "The Beginning"; Pitbull's "Castles Made of Sand" for his album, "Planet Pit", which hit the top 10 of Billboard's top 200; Ed Sheeran's "Kiss Me" for his album "+", which hit number one on the UK Album charts; and other platinum-selling artists.

Before Frost got her big break she was supporting herself as an independent artist in Chicago, performing at nightclubs, teaching family music classes, and lending her voice and music to major ad campaigns. Her independently produced album, "The Wave", received critical acclaim and grew her fan following. She was invited twice to be showcased at the Songwriters Hall of Fame and earned an honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

Frost's musical turning point came in 2009 when she sent an e-mail with links to her songs to President of North America Creative for EMI Music Publishing Jon Platt. He immediately flew her to Los Angeles and offered her a life-changing deal.

"I'm just so grateful that I get to do what I love to do," says Frost. "When people tell me that my songs affect them, that's a great honor for me... My hope is that my music will open hearts."
