Two Manitoba musicians are receiving International recognition for a song they wrote as a part of the World's largest songwriting competition. Matt Epp and Faouzia teamed up to release a moving song called "The Sound", which placed 1st out of 16,000 entries, from 137 countries throughout the world. This is also the first time in the International Songwriting Competition that the grand prize is awarded to Canadian Songwriters.

Matt joined us on the morning show to talk about the honour of winning this award...

Matt continues with what it was like to work with Faouzia, and how they met...
