Before Craigslist, there was a thing called newspapers. And when people wanted to send a message to a mass audience, they placed an ad in the paper. So that’s precisely what a Brazilian DJ named Nick Deboni did with the hope of reaching Madonna.
Tuesday’s issue of the Los Angeles Times included a message from 18-year-old Deboni asking the icon’s permission to use her song “Devil Pray.” It included a photo of Deboni and text that read:
“I published this ad to reach you Madonna and ask you, please, to approve my remix. I’m from Brazil- Rio de Janeiro I am 18 year old and love your songs. Ps: I am by my self [sic].” He included his Facebook and SoundCloud pages in the ad along with his email and the hashtag #ApproveMadonna.
The DJ posted his remix on his Soundcloud page where it’s had over 97,000 plays to date. No word yet on whether or not Madonna has heard it.
Sybil Summers is heard 10am-3pm CT on 103.7 KVIL. You can reach her on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
