Logan Staats wins CTV’s The Launch

TORONTO — This week Canada is finally getting to see what Six Nations and the surrounding area have known for a long time — Logan Staats, his songs and his musical gifts are fire.

The self-proclaimed “love child of rock & roll and soul” took top prize on CTV’s newest reality show ‘The Launch’ this week — being selected from a handful of other seasoned Canadian artists to record and ‘launch’ a song nation wide.

Three acts were in the running to record the song “The Lucky Ones”: The Revel Boys, Vivian Hicks and Logan Staats. Ultimately the Revel Boys were not selected to continue in the competition but Hicks and Staats were chosen by show judges country star Shania Twain, music mogul Scott Borchetta and producer/songwriter busbee to record the song and perform it for a live audience.

Staats version of the song was chosen as the winner and the song released for download live after the show aired on January 10.

CTV’s all-new, original music series was the #1 program in its time slot when it premiered last Wednesday, while Staat’s single immediately debuted at #1 on iTunes across Canada beating out Justin Timberlake and Ed Sheeran.

Across social media #TheLaunch trended #1 in Canada following the show.

The Launch continues to air on CTV every Wednesday with new contestants each week through to February 21.
