You have to hear this man's voice. If this video is on mute - unmute now! To me personally, and to us at Talent is Timeless, we have never heard such a cheerful tuneful voice! Not to mention that Sam Gay is one of our winners from 2024.

Is the true art of being a musician - the ability to mess up in public? On stage? On camera? And look serene at the same time? Case and point at the end of this video...

This grandpa wrote 'Sabotage' about addiction. Not his, but what it was like loving his granddaughter through the toughest time in her life. She showed up to the studio with us to sing his winning track, written about her. This short clip shows Talent Is Timeless EU winners 2024 at their prize day at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin.

Talent Is Timeless winners always have disbelief when they find out. They ALL have that in common. They did not expect to win. It's very sweet!

What counts as AI music?
- What if I use AI for the melody but not the lyrics?
- What if I write a song the 'traditional' way but then use AI to create a better demo?
- Should I enter my song in the AI or 'traditional' categories?
Whether you love or hate AI music - hopefully this helps you understand how Talent Is Timeless is classifying it for the purposes of the contest.

Who wins these things? Is the song contest real? What happens to the winners?
These lovely artists are probably 20% of the collective Talent Is Timeless winners from the last 5 years.
Some of them have record deals now, some of them have memories of being at Abbey Road Studios with us - and the pictures to prove it! Many have plaques on their walls. All of them have smiles on their faces. Even the Irishmen!
Will your smiling face be pictured here next year when you've won the 2026 song contest? Will you hang our winners plaque on your wall near your computer? Will you talk about it with friends when they come over? We hope so!

What’s your musical dream? Mine was to make a living from music and I checked that box off early by reducing my living costs to nothing and moving into a camper van and busking. Then it was to not have to live in a van. Then it was to be more comfy and move out of a 5 person flat share. Then it was to land some final validation and recognition with a record deal and having my music in a big movie and walk a red carpet. I’ve done all that. The only dream I’m really proud of achieving was not being afraid to share my music publicly. That scared me so much I didn’t play for years. When I finally got over myself and trained myself out of it - that was the dream. The rest was just play. At Talent Is Timeless we like to make musical dreams come true. We can’t guarantee big audiences or big stages (although we try to help), but I’ll bet there is an area of your musical dreams that we can help with. I want to know what your dreams are!

Shari Ulrich (https://facebook.com/ShariUlrichMusic ) is an award-winning singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and educator whose career spans over five decades, 26 albums, and multiple JUNO Awards. In 2025, she placed in both the Canada (Folk) and Folk categories of the Talent Is Timeless annual contest with her poignant song The Sweater.
“Oh, there is always a story,” Shari says — and The Sweater is shaped by the quiet, devastating presence of dementia, something she notes is “woven through all of our lives with friends and loved ones.” The song doesn’t reach for drama, instead sitting gently with memory, loss, and recognition slipping away — a restraint that makes it deeply resonant.
Shari’s path to songwriting was intentional. Though she began as a performer in bands, something never felt right. “I wasn’t comfortable singing other people’s lyrics. They didn’t fit me.” That realization pushed her toward a solo path — and into songwriting she trusted as a calling. One of her earliest songs quickly became a successful single, confirming her instinct: “I knew I should be writing my own songs.”
Alongside touring and recording, Shari has taught songwriting at Humber College, University of British Columbia, and the VSO School of Music, mentoring generations of writers. Her work has earned deep recognition, including Songwriter of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards.
When she learned she’d placed in the Talent Is Timeless contest, her response was immediate: “This was so affirming!!” She values the community’s supportive atmosphere, where experience is seen as an asset.
Her advice to songwriters over 50?
“Be yourself. It’s your superpower.”
