America Online and musicians' network Tonos Entertainment will today announce a wide-ranging strategic marketing agreement.

Under the deal, AOL, which has 34 million members, will promote Tonos on its music site. Tonos, meanwhile, will develop exclusive promotions

for AOL; the first of these, the Michael Jackson Songwriting Contest, begins today. The winner will write a song with Jackson and Tonos co-founders David Foster and Carole Bayer Sager, and Jackson will record the track. Runners-up in the contest will receive memberships to the tonosPRO service, which provides musicians with exposure to label and radio executives and other industry figures seeking new talent.
