Motomusic, as a combined service on web and WAP, allows consumers to

Music ID recognizes and identifies songs and their artists’ names and then
provides a link to download the songs from the service. The recently acquired Soundbuzz library has added to the Motomusic repertoire.
“When I created Hollywood Meets Bollywood, I was hoping to bridge cultural gaps and unite people through my music, which is something I am very
passionate about,” said Wyclef Jean, Motorola’s Brand Ambassador and
international rocker and musician. “It was an incredible experience to work
with someone like Abhishek, who is an amazing talent and so beloved in
India.”
“Working with Wyclef was a totally new experience for me,” said Abhishek
Bachchan, Motorola Brand Ambassador and Bollywood Actor. “Being in the
studio and watching how he works was inspiring. The song has a great message about love and peace, but it also has a great beat that I think everyone in India is going to love.”
