We are finally officially stating that we have taken on the social media management for Brewster's Road Crew. Brewster's Road Crew promote the most popular Crop Over party series over the past 3 years. Every Friday night during the Crop Over festivities in Barbados during the months of June- August, Brewster's Road Crew events attract soca lovers from around the world. Its a real party and it does not stop until long after the sun has risen on Saturday morning!!! Last year 2009, they conquered new ground by becoming the first people to produce a 24 hour soca fete. Its an event they have simply labeled "24".
We have been building out the Brewster's Road Crew social media presence primarily on twitter and facebook presence since their Pre (Trinidad) Carnival fete earlier this year. We have been allowing for Brewster's Road Crew supporters from around the world to stay in touch and keep up with the latest and greatest Brewster's Road happenings. As the Crop Over 2010 Our core aim is really to give the Brewster's Road Crew and outlet to their fans and to make there 24 hour soca fete well-known worldwide. We have been able to connect with groups from as far as Toronto and the UK with the social media platform we have built for them so far.
We were pleased to work with E -Vision Concepts to provide social media marketing and a web presence on yet another project. This time it was the bi-annual Sci Tech Exhibition, which is produced by The National Council for Science and Technology (Government Agency in Barbados).
The role of Sci-TechExpo is multifaceted, in that as well as providing a forum where students can demonstrate their innovation and creativity it also serves to demonstrate the linkages between basic and applied Science and Technology and the role they play in development. It also provides Science professionals with an opportunity to display the results of their research efforts and to demonstrate the impact these results may have on our National development.
It was a real pleasure to work on this project and to experience the raw passion and innovation of young Barbadian students. It spurred us to mount our own booth during the Expo to showcase how technology is also impacting out business and the innovative ways in we have been putting it to good work. The live blogging and posting of the video and photo from the conferences was very much appreciated by the exhibitors.
It was truly and interesting experience and it is possible that we might take some initiative to support the the raw passion and innovation at this Expo. We are definitely motivated to put our expertise in social media to good use.
AND ACTION!

Musical Goddess, iNDRANi Celebrates Love on Valentine’s day
Bridgetown, Barbados – 8th February 2010 -
Love is in the air and recording artiste, iNDRANi has channeled it, releasing her love anthem "WANNA BE (THAT THING)" from her upcoming album “GODDESS WILD”
iNDRANi said "This one is a crowd favorite. Aside from the things on the surface: pretty melody, catchy chorus, cute voice…when you really dig into the lyrics, the song is really about giving yourself permission to yes, acknowledge doubt, and recognize pain, but MORE important than that, to allow yourself to believe again…"
According to iNDRANi, “this album represents a more personal follow-up to "Most Divine," embracing shades of acoustic and alternative folk with a lot of vocal instrumentation, while chronicling a journey of love. “I've always sung about love in a general sense…this time…it's just a lot closer to the 'bone'….closer to home…my entire heart and soul are in this album.”
"GODDESS WILD" resonates the sentiment of intimate love, all from iNDRANi’s real life experiences, beginning with "To The Other Side" the first recorded track for the album which came at a time when the Singer/Songwriter was calling love into her life, and "WANNA BE (THAT THING)" was written a year later when she needed to believe in love again. “All of my songs are special to me, though each touches me in a different way. I don't sit down to write songs for myself (do that with Vegas and other people I write with/for – write on demand.) With the songs I choose to sing, they decide when they're ready to be born. I just surrender and ride the wave when it comes.”
"GODDESS WILD" is an independent project, produced by iNDRANi, who also showcases her skills on guitar, live percussion and background vocals. Love anthem, "WANNA BE (THAT THING)" features top musicians, Andre Daniel on bass, Melvin Alick on drums, and was mixed and mastered by Trinidad's own music powerhouse, Kasey "KC" Phillips of Precision Productions.
The song is now available for purchase on iRibbeanTunes.com follow the link – https://www.iribbeantunes.com/WebsitePages/albumdetails.php?albumId=370
The song will be added to iTunes at a later this month.
iNDRANi will be performing "Wanna Be" live with her band at The Holetown Festival for their the Jazzy Monday Show at the Seaside Theatre (Free Concert) on Monday February 15th. The show begins at 7:30 PM.

We are pleased to announce that we will be partnering with dAssociate 360 Artists to promote the musical catalogue of iNDRANi through news media, merchandise, distribution networks and mobile channels to create a branded experience for fans….
Drenalin Productions, 360 Artists and iNDRANi have already began working together to put things in place to realize this vision. "The first step is for us to capture iNDRANi's current social media frame work, understand her current fan base and then design a way forward for iNDRANi's very special brand of music." said Drenalin director Corey Graham 2.0. "She is already a legend for her extensive work as a background vocalist and my hope is that we can use our skills in social media to assist her in the transformation to becoming a "foreground" artiste. We like to dream big so we are all hoping that we can inspire a new era in the Caribbean Music Industry by encouraging more of the independent Caribbean artistes to take a serious approach to leveraging the power of the internet to build successful careers. If this vision is realized it can contribute in a tangible way to the economies of our Caribbean States."
Simone Harris, director of 360 Artists shared these sentiments "This partnership seems to have been destined to happen …. it's been in the pipeline for a while now…Corey Graham 2.0 (Drenalin Productions) and I both share very similiar perspectives on new music and technology and together we will work to develop strategies that will allow Caribbean artists to exploit the numerous opportunities presented by new media technology."
The lady of the moment iNDRANi said, "One of the most recent developments / highlights in my career, is the official alliance with the innovative marketing and media team, Drenalin Productions and 360 Artists. The diverse team shares the same vision, specializing in online marketing and media. They are extremely proactive; with a heavy focus on effective communication systems, and following-through on assignments and tasks designated. The team has taken the time to understand me as an artiste, individual, and brand, and is in the process of creating a cohesive plan to move forward."
The first project will be to enhance iNDRANi's current initiative to help the people of Haiti. She is donating all the proceeds from the online download of her track "We're One" to the cause. More to come on that.

We are currently conducting an online campaign for Invest Barbados' trip to Midem. Invest Barbados is working with the Association Of Music Entrepreneurs(Barbados) (A.M.E. to send 8 delegates to the 2010 Midem Music Conference in Cannes, France. The delegation is made up of 2 representatives from Invest Barbados and 6 Music Entrepreneurs who are members of the A.M.E. They are as follows -
This campaign is designed to provide online exposure for the delegates and the Barbados 2010 Midem Showcase before, during and after the conference. The Barbados 2010 Midem Showcase is an invitation social, business networking affair with an open bar and hors d’oeuvres for the invited guests. The featured act none other than the beautiful Rosemary Phillips, who has appeared in numerous festivals across the Caribbean.
Invest Barbados Goals and Objectives For Midem 2010
Our strategic plan is to approach MIDEM 2010 as a private/public sector initiative to build international competitiveness in the local music industry and to position Barbados as a desirable location providing a range of business and wealth management solutions to the entertainment sector. As a catalyst organisation, Invest Barbados will play the role of facilitator and encourage the individuals and companies in the sector to develop their businesses for export, promotion and investment in the global music market.
The primary objectives of Invest Barbados in supporting this delegation would be to:
- Provide local music industry practitioners with an opportunity to network with global counterparts, senior music label executives and music industry specialists with a view to building strategic alliances which could result in publishing, distribution, recording and performing/touring opportunities;
- Facilitate the earning of foreign exchange through direct sales and negotiated contracts for Barbadian services;
- Attract international business and joint ventures by raising the profile of Barbados in the international market as an excellent recording location with professional facilities, as well as a source for high quality music production services and artiste management services;
- Create promotional opportunities, increase visibility and gain international exposure for indigenous professionals, and improve Barbados’ global market reach;
- Build the infrastructure necessary to promote growth for local service providers in the music sector and for Barbados’ music industry in general.
- Present Barbados’ entire value proposition in international business to a captive audience of high net worth individuals connected to the entertainment industry.
We erected www.BarbadosAtMusicExpos.com to be the hub for all the information relating to this trip and future trips for Midem and other Music Expos (e.g.South By South West Conference). This site is driven by a blog which will be used to showcase delegates, provide updates on special events such as the Midem Showcase 2010. The blog will also allow for a cross section of players in the Music Industry around the world to share their ideas, thoughts and perspectives on how the Music Industry and Barbados. We expect that this will be able to spark enlightening conversations which might happen on or off the site as all articles and content can be easily shared. We have also set up @BimAtMusicExpos twitter account to allow for micro blogging and quick dissemination of information or updates.
We would like to thank Invest Barbados for working with us on this project. We trust that this trip will be s successful one and we look forward to being able to continue this project and watch the BarbadosAtMusicExpos.com evolve into an archive of the exploits of Invest Barbados and AME Delegates at various Music Expos.

My deepest passion is to assist in building up the Caribbean Community and I plan to do this by making use of my skills in marketing, social media and business. Professionally, I have worked with Alt Entertainment Inc. and BoomTribe assisting them in their quest to develop a Caribbean Music Industry by producing compelling Caribbean entertainment content for TV, Radio and the web. I have held the positions of Digital Content Manager, Community Manager and Content Marketing Manager over the 3 years I have spend with them. Essentially, I was responsible for getting all of Alt Entertainment's produced content, onto its online platform, BoomTribe.com, share it with the BoomTribe community and market it to the rest of the world. Over my time at BoomTribe I filled roles of marketer, photographer, writer, video editor, video producer, video & TV host and more when need arose. I was pivotal in developing the new BoomTribe.com which was launched in Jun 2009, and was greeted with open arms by the public. It was designed to make it easy for Alt Entertainment to share its content and also highlight all of BoomTribe's brands and products.
