February 14, 2006 - About to sign my first Major Publishing Deal!!!
I just finished negotiating a publishing deal which I may sign this week. It'll give me the support engine of a Major Publisher pushing my music and all my projects just as much as I do. That'll be a major step especially considering I'm about to start developing artists from the ground up for international release.
My first step will be to go into the Caribbean to find, develop and record a number or artists and bring them into the US to work with other artists. There's a wealth of talent in the Caribbean confined regionally. I'm trying to position my company, Fierce Music Entertainment Inc. as a portal for Caribbean talent to have direct contact to American and European record companies... wish me luck.
February2007 - The artist NOEL signed to SONY RECORDS NEW YORK
Noel, my partner's artist that we've been working with for almost two years just signed a deal with SONY NewYork. My partners Trakaddix & Balewa Muhammad signed him to a Production deal and got him signed.
DECEMBER 2006 - THE ARTIST Che'Nelle SIGNED TO VIRGIN RECORDS NEW YORK
My partner, Dj Sir Charles, just signed his artist Che'Nelle to Virgin Records, NewYork. I have 2 tracks on the record so far.
FIERCE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT INC. is now an iTunes APPROVED Record Label
My company, Fierce Music Entertainment Inc., is now approved by iTunes as a Record Label to sell and distribute music through all 5 international territories of iTunes. (US, Canada, Japan, Europe & Australia)
I Produce a lot of music in the Caribbean so I'll start by releasing my Caribbean content and then move on to local Urban projects.
CARNIVAL & BARBADOS CROPOVER 2005 RELEASES:
I Produced and Co-Produced a number of tracks with Gary Serrao for Trinidad Carnival & Barbados' Cropover.
FOR ARTISTS IN THE CARIBBEAN:
I'm about to sign a publishing deal which will give me the support engine of a major Publisher pushing my music and projects just as much as I do. That'll be a major step especially considering I'm about to go into the Caribbean to develop and record a number of artists for international release
I'd like to connect some Caribbean artists with US artists and songwriters to create projects more universally appealing than the typical Soca records. There's a wealth of talent in the Caribbean confined regionally.... hopefully not for much longer. I'm trying to position my company, Fierce Music Entertainment Inc. as a portal for Caribbean talent to have direct contact to American and European record companies.
