NEW YORK CITY (JULY 10, 2006) – Ross Allen the owner and manager of Hillcrest, the premier multi-artist Country Music Radio disc, has been named "COUNTRY PROMOTER OF THE YEAR" for 2006 by the European Country Music Association (ECMA). Festivities were held in Palafrugell, Spain on Saturday, July 8, 2006. Attendance was high with artists and industry people from Holland, the UK, Germany, and Spain attending.

Upon receiving the news of being named “COUNTRY PROMOTER OF THE YEAR,” Ross stated “I am truly honoured and overwhelmed to have been chosen as promoter of the year for 2006 by the ECMA members who voted for me.”

Founded in 1992 by singer/songwriter, producer and recording artist, Ross Allen, the Cambridge, Ontario, Canada-based Hillcrest multi-artist disc has gained the respect of recording artists, radio stations, record labels, studios, producers, and promoters from all over the world.

Each Hillcrest CD contains a selection of top-notch pre-screened radio friendly songs from a variety of country and acoustic based music genres. Key industry executives receptive to working with both independent and signed artists are serviced as well.

At this point in time Hillcrest has had over 650 charted singles to show for their efforts. Many artists from the Hillcrest family have gone on to secure writing, publishing, and recording deals with various major labels. 90% of the artists who release singles on Hillcrest, have a commercially available album for sale.
