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.

Corey Graham 2.0 Bio Just Released!

 

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.


As a blogger & writer I write 3 blogs and I produce a podcast –  Biz Blog, Entertainment Blog , Sayings Blog and the Corey Graham 2.0 Podcast which you can all find at www.CoreyKGraham.Me. My Biz Blog which is my flagship blog has been read by some of the influential persons in the Caribbean and on my podcast I have featured the interviews with influential persons including the Peter Gould, VP of Sales at RIM, Phil Philips and more. I also contribute to a few blogs including Nurse Karen's Soca Blog, Silicon Caribe, The Bloom Effect and more. My exploits as a blogger and writer covers primarily Business and Entertainment and span topics like Innovation, Leadership, Productivity, Social Media, Technology, Music Business and Music news. My primary driving force for being a writer is to provoke thinking among Caribbean people and share important "niche market" news with them. 

I also getting started providing formal online marketing and Web 2.0 consulting services to Caribbean businesses and professionals.

There are a few personal initiatives I have going which are BajanBasketball.com, Checker Hall Braves Basketball Team Website , CaribbeanEntertainmentSearch.com, Caribbean Entertainment Professional Network On LinkedIn, The Soca Now Movement and more. My motives for these projects in particular come out of my belief that entertainment and sports are very important elements in developing the Caribbean Community. I also readily assist new Caribbean bloggers in getting their blogs up and running.

I might appear to have several talents and skills, however if you dig a little deeper you will realize its my creativity that allows me to do alot of what I do. Inspired ideas come to me quite often. Those around me expect me to call them, out the blue, to get their feedback on some new idea I have. My ability to make relationships between seemingly unrelated topics produces these ideas that might solve a problem, reveal a new opportunity or share a new perspective. On those dark and gloomy days, I put my creative gifts to good use in searching for that new perspective which makes the day seem brighter, or I find ways to create win-win situations for the people involved in the situation. I try to always remain positive and motivate those around me.  This creativity has been one of those things that has been a constant in life and I always bring it to the table. I enjoy teamwork and developing on ideas with others to make them even better ideas. It is a sheer thrill to work on a project with other passionate and creative people. As the team leader or a team member I am able to totally enjoy the team experience. 

I have accepted that I am a thinker. I enjoy thinking about just about anything. My curiosity and quest to understand and experience the world around me makes me a huge fan of science & technology and gives me that child-like enthusiasm to truly enjoy life.
