NASHVILLE, Tenn. >> Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale says what today’s new artists need to be successful is extremely good music, a great team and a lot of luck. And he says that hasn’t changed much from when his band started their career in the early 1990s, despite changing musical technologies.

Rossdale is lending his voice to a new talent competition, called neXt2rock 2017, with Cumulus Media radio stations to find undiscovered rock artists throughout the country. The competition starts today.

The finalists will be judged by a panel of industry veterans, including Rossdale and Scott Borchetta, the founder of Big Machine Label Group, where Taylor Swift has been signed since she was a teenager.

Other judges include Steve Jones, Bob Ezrin and Desmond Child.

The winner will earn a record deal.
