Rock the Games: Announcing Conor Maynard

Monday, 6 August 2012

YouTube sensation Conor Maynard (aka The British Justin Bieber) has been added to the roster of talent lined up for the Rock The Games series, which streams live from tomorrow -- August 7 -- on the official London 2012 channel.

The 19-year-old, who this week topped the album charts with debut LP “Contrast”, was signed on the strength of his YouTube channel /skillzaisherebooya, covering tracks like Beyoncé’s “If I Were A Boy” and is slated to play both legs of the V Festival on August 18/19. He joins Rizzle Kicks, Lawson, Mika and Pixie Lott in answering questions gleaned from Twitter and Google+ at /London2012, using the hashtags #askpixie, #asklawson, #askmika, #askrizzlekicks and now #askconor.

So get thinking, and to inspire you here’s an interesting question put to Pixie Lott by @pixiefan_123: “If you could live off one food for five days, what food would you choose?”
