FameCast was founded to showcase legitimate artists who have yet to be discovered and whom the audience deems to be worthy of stardom. The FameCast online contest and entertainment community will provide contestants the ability to connect with and grow a national audience and compete to become a FameCast Fenom and win a grand prize worth $10,000 per stage and global exposure.

Working closely with Charles Attal Presents enables us to reach out to the local Austin music community and provide them with a high-caliber venue like Stubbs BBQ to put on their best performance. With the help of Charles Attal Presents, we are confident FameCast will attract the best performers in Central Texas.
"FameCast is dedicated to serving the artists who have what it takes, but have lacked the breaks and the open casting call is one more way we are reaching out to the community to help them compete and gain international notoriety," said Kent Savage, founder and CEO of FameCast.
