Matisyahu fans and fellow musicians can visit www.indabamusic.com/remixmatisyahu to remix the singer's track "One Day," and have the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create a new song with the artist.

Matisyahu, whose music merges reggae beats, hip-hop and rock, wants fans to create a new version of the tune, which has been used extensively as the theme song for NBC's "Countdown to Vancouver" Olympics campaign. "One Day" is the lead single from Matisyahu's third album, Light, which was released by Epic Records in August, 2009.

The "One Day" Remix Contest launched on Thursday, February 11th --one day before the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics. There will be a four-week submission period and a two-week voting period. A public vote will determine the top 10 winners to receive a pair of Skull Candy Agent headphones and be featured on both www.matisyahuworld.com and www.myspace.com/matisyahu.

The First Place Winner and two Runners-Up, selected personally by Matisyahu, will also see a link to their mix Tweeted to Matisyahu's 1.2 million followers and will each receive a year's Indaba Music Pro Membership and a signed vinyl copy of Light. The First Place Winner will also be awarded the opportunity to participate in a one-on-one collaboration with the singer through Indaba Music.

Matisyahu will play a pair of shows during the Winter Olympics -- at The Whistler Village Square on February 14th, and LiveCity Vancouver on February 15th. Indaba Music will integrate news and content from the Winter Olympics throughout the contest period.
