MetroLyrics has become the most trafficked lyrics site worldwide reaching 36 million unique monthly visitors, 100 million monthly page views, and is currently the 3rd largest music property in North America. Milun’s latest accomplishment is a strategic partnership with AOL Music where MetroLyrics.com will be the only website providing AOL users with song lyrics worldwide.

“We are extremely proud to have Milun represent Canada on the international stage”, explains ACE President Amy Harder    . “He has already reached many impressive milestones as an entrepreneur and truly exemplifies what it means to be a future business leader.”

Now moving on to the international level of competition, Milun will compete against national champions from 20 different countries.

About Global Student Entrepreneur Awards 
As the premier global competition for undergraduate students, the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards (GSEA) inspire students to adopt entrepreneurial endeavors by bringing global visibility to student business owners who are innovative, profitable and socially responsible. Since 1998, the GSEA, a program founded at the John Cook School of Business at Saint Louis University, has honored outstanding undergraduates who juggle a full course load while running their own businesses at the same time. The Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) took on leadership of the GSEA in 2006 to offer student entrepreneurs access to a global network of mentors, resources and connections from the most influential community of entrepreneurs in the world.
