Famous forever?



Do you want to be famous forever? Well, now you can!
Most of us have a story to share of Entertainment hopefuls that never get their wish to be a star. Unfortunately, I have been a perpetrator of uncovering these hidden opportunities that entice without offering a secure solution to follow through. To find ideas that overcome the challenge to take a vision viral forever, I looked to some thought leaders in digital video sharing who spread their vision.
At this moment it is merely a vision, that I can facilitate the gratification of the star potential for Artist, whom I manage.  After exposure to this line of influential speakers, I am convinced that some ideas could lead to visions that live on forever.  Some of my favorite leaders say that all it takes is a vision, one vision, one thought.
Dr. N. Cindy Trimm says, we are only one thought away from “Living Authentically,” as she effectively shares how to walk that out daily, in her brand new book, The 40 Day Soul Fast, Your Journey to Authentic Living.

Bishop T. D. Jakes says you are one thought away from a great revelation in your life. In his 2012 Series of teaching on, The Power of a Thought, his message explains why a Corporation is a thought. This forward thinking leader speaks from his convincing stage of The Potter House.  Found in Texas, where 1 of 3 mega churches under his administration. He claims his success began with one thought, and every level of evolution continued to burst out of thoughts and ideas.




Ted.com says “Ideas (are) Worth Spreading” when he provides a platform for speakers to share their revelations in powerful 18- 20 minute talks. One of his Keynote speakers teaches more of the mission of Ted.com to seek ideas globally, it appears this Corporations has uncovered a revelation through giving away their branding. Through the application of a 3-dial method, which he tags 
                                       “Crowd Accelerated Innovation.
Chris Anderson says, that everyone has ideas, which are more than worthy of going viral, as he demonstrated the power of Crowd Accelerated Innovation, quite amazingly. He proclaims that any individual or business can effectively apply his 3-dial model, to grow their customer base.  He teaches the dials consist of 1) A crowd, 2) Light and 3) Desire. When Anderson teaches, “How web video powers global innovation he warns that Step 2 of the 3-dial system offers the greatest challenge. However, the commitment to radical openness allowed this speaker to transcend that problem consistently from the opening to the close.

            By the end of his speech; my interest to facilitate the instant gratification of the star potential for Artist was enhanced exponentially by the emotionally charged images of young people in a shanti town of Africa completely empowered by the brand of Ted.com. When the crowd expanded to include them through video share, the audience learned from Christopher McCall, one leader of a growing movement.
Christopher McCall says Kibera is a hotbed of innovation and ideas. Among the many concepts, they started their own Film school Kibera.TV. When the video camera focused on their level of evolutionary
Through their openness I was able to feel the dial of my desire go up.  I had the thought that digital video sharing might offer some innovations. I begin to search for clues through the many Ted.com Speakers that would specifically support my ideas to help Artist shape their hope into a springboard of success.
I choose to watch Adam Ostrow on this video share below.



            Chris Anderson must have established a hard act to follow, because the following Ted talk seems to pale in comparison.  Adam Ostrow delivered is speech by sharing 3 key innovations for digital sharing.  Ostrow says some top tools have been innovated to help preserve our thoughts, ideas and personality to be honored after we have passed away. He pointed out the top of tools like my next tweet, and, a robot engineered by MIT designed to emulate specific human characteristic

Excited to learn about his solutions that inspired him to imply our but I also couldn’t help to notice the striking contrast of their presentation style with regards to crowd response.
Ostrow was slow to evoke the excitement of the crowd.  One scene literally showed a few tilted heads in the crowd as if to assume the sleeping position. Perhaps they were pondering the same question Of Neumeir in his book The Brand Gap.  Neumeir says we should ask, “How many actually touch your emotions?” when comparing the pictures used to convey their message.  Just before the boredom could over take them, Ostrow was able to overcome the adversity through use of compelling openness.
When he shared the last innovation, the final climax of Ostrow speech occurred when he shared an image an additional tool, the hologram of Hip Hop Artist, Will I Am.  This highlighted the power of the tools by demonstrating CNN’s ability to beam in the Artist for an interview with Anderson Cooper, during the US elections 2008.  In considering why Ted talks are so very engaging as appose to its written competition, Laura Reis would say,  “ The difference between visuals on a screen and words in a book, is emotional glue that holds some concepts in a persons memory for years, even decades

           
            These experts inspired corporate strategies for team building to support my Artist.  Additionally, these tools could prove helpful in creating corporate concepts that support my mantra, “It's never too late.” Team members will be encouraged to use my/next/tweet/  when gathering information that can predict their most frequent tweet, as well as those of celebrities we seek to invite as keynote speakers.  Each month our team meetings will share creative tips gained from the use of the software download. Those members of the team who are most effective will be celebrated at our annual banquet.
 Inspired by Chris McCall 's film school production of Kibera TV, our company will offer more platforms for the Artist to entertain, some opportunities to act and sing in plays and documentaries will be available. Through a commitment to empower the people who support my company, the use of campaigns will forge excitement and high levels of morale. The “I was here” campaign inspired by the incredible work of Entertainer, Beyonce’ will outline different ways to collect and categorize our individual personalities and traits.  With the consent of the Entertainer only, staff members who succeed in collecting enough material on their works and contributions will be able to witness their hologram perform on stage at our banquet with the hologram of the great Beyonce.

P2P networking, how well can it work for an up and coming artist?



P2P networking, how well can it work for an up and coming artist?

Research shows that napster and MP3 are among the first generation of peer-to-peer (P2P) networking services that allow for the illicit swapping of music files on line. What once threatened the record company executives is now the center of hope for digital entrepreneurs.  Des Freeman offers keen insight on the threats and advantages of this increasing popular culture in his journal, Managing Pirate Culture: Corporate Responses to Peer-to-Peer Networking. Freedman, Des. "Managing Pirate Culture: Corporate Responses To Peer-To-Peer Networking." JMM: The International Journal On Media Management 5.3 (2003): 173-179. Communication & Mass Media Complete. Web. 14 Nov. 2012.
Many can remember the famous lawsuit, Recording - Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) against P2P network Napster in June 2000. Those attacks accused such networking of imposing widespread and damaging copyright infringements. Just as the evolution of most new cultures is presented with resistance, the digital networking culture has undergone its share of attacks, as well. Some of the arguments made are worthy of consideration for the future of entertainment industry at large. The drop of sales in CD’s begin its decline as early as 2003, according to the International Federation of Phonogram and Video gram Producers (IFPI). Freeman argues that blaming one sole issue, like Internet downloading, is not likely to be the cause. He says, “ throughout its history the music industry has been subject to cycles of boom and slump, none which have been caused by a single identifiable factor such as piracy).” 
This journal associates today’s controversy of P2P networking with that of previous generations, citing the fall in sales that occurred when the radio of 1920's and  home taping and audiocassette recorders on 1970's  was first introduced. Just as we witnessed a return in upward sales in the past, it is hopeful that the music industry will rebound as the changes invite the willingness of the industry as a whole to embrace this trend.
The Internet provides a rich highway of social media opportunities. Despite the antagonistic debates, a birth of the second -generation services emerged, including success stories like morpheusmedia  and gnutellaforums .
 Today an artist has a wide array of choices, many leading to effective face to face (F2F) venues for chances of continued sales. Among the growing trends are reverbnation, which offers such promotional tools as Artists Labels, Managers, Fan Management, and nationwide venues. The use of widgets and banners available to their customers empowers artist to expand their music sharing and marketing exponentially. Some sites are designed to enhance the opportunity for an artist to be featured as a leader amongst their peers like musicclout. Their current solicitation for artist is promoted on twitter and invites participation to F2F markets for a celebration and artist performances. Still others like torrentbar aka KaZoa also markets games and a chance for an artist to share music through rhapsody. Another P2P, waneenterprises.com offers an artist a venue to market their videos.

Will work as a model help a recording artist?


Is Modeling a Strategy that could help an RB artist jump start their career?

With an interest in artist management, I am constantly on the hunt for learning new strategies that have worked effectively for those stars that have achieved their goals.  When turning to the publication by Meyers, T. (2008). RIHANNA UMBRELLAS FROM TOTES. Advertising Age, 79(43), S-16, we learn that many large corporation use the strategy of promoting their product lines by seeking an artist who would model their goods.
This method has been implemented effectively for corporations that want to benefit from the fame of an Artist.  Through the artist’s associations with particular company products, profits are said to improve remarkably. In marketing, this concept is taught as part of branding. The Entrepreneur magazine says it this way,” An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive markets.” Due to success with branding, searching for that artist is in fact the natural order for doing business.
Finding a celebrity to model your products is so important, that companies will make special financial changes to invest in what they perceive as the right individual.  In 2006, the makers of Totes and Isotones had just invested in a ton of money in a line of umbrellas designed to target a population of mature, working conservatives. That following year, Totes learned that an up and coming R & B/Pop artist, Rhianna was about to release a song called Umbrella. This information was used to make a decision for the corporation to instantly recalibrate their entire marketing campaign. They quickly created a fresh new line of umbrellas.
            Rhianna went on to receive her first Grammy from that song. Research shows the decision worked good for Totes, as well. They turned social media networks to monitor the trends. The lead marketer, Tiffany Meyers reports, “Totes relied heavily on media mentions placed through Northlich, Cincinnati, which reports more than 350 million media impressions so far.” In observations, the top two cites that the makers of the totes, rain products at Totes-Isotoner Corp. begin to monitor are celebrity-gossip blog found at http://www.perezhilton.com/Rihanna and http://www.totes-isotoner.com.
This concept of selecting an artist to serve as an ambassador of specific consumer product has huge potential for tapping into the required finances for an artist to develop their style and performances. In an effort to enhance the possibility of endorsements, I have registered my first clients with local modeling companies. The first to call is found on this website; http://agencymodelsandtalent.com/new-talent.html.
By working as a model, my artist are able to build their skills and capacity to function in advertising for magazines, videos, and future commercials as well as other screen opportunities. At this point the funds earned as a model can help in small ways for an up an coming artist. Although, the possibilities for future endorsements are unlimited.
 Rhianna went on to use her modeling in landing contract with Nivea. It is reported to be up to 25 million dollars.  Nivea is the company that signed her as a model for their skin-cleansing product.  With so much at stake, it is helpful to learn the challenges that may come with accepting those endorsements. Rhianna ‘s extreme success with social media networks like FaceBook and twitter also made her an easy target for bashing her.  placed her at the center of their focus, when the Nivea company decided to let her go.
The recent negative attention about the loss of a contract with Nivea can be seen on the video posted by ModaMob.  In the video, the conversation turns towards the question of why was Rhianna let go.  See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEN7Vnxyikg.
 Ultimately, working as a model does enhance options for an upcoming artist. If that great contract comes along, the pressure is on to maintain a lifestyle that is seen as socially responsible. Otherwise one could loose the work, as quick as they got it.

Exposure to Tiia Maria

In a previous post I promised  to share the work of my artist. This blog will introduce her to the on line community. This introduction to Tiia Maria offers a link to view her most recent cover videos.

 To find out if my artist has a particular fan base that likes her music, we have started a YouTube channel. If you like the covers and would like to have her sing live at your event, contact me at my email. Just post the song you want to hear and allow up to 1 week for preparation.
     As a developing artist she has changed her look and her name over the course of time in which these were videos are filmed. Her stage name is Tiia Maria. Her  YouTube Channel is listed as Tiia Davis and she goes by the name of Tiia Maria. 
       In a recent course activity for Project and Team Management in the Entertainment Business Masters Degree (EBMS) program at Full Sail University, our group worked on a team building project entitled, "What's in a name?" It was a fun activity and we built some group cohesiveness in quick amount of time. The main take away that applies as I work with my artist is the definition of your name is important. Just as the group members and I made a significant impact of the progress and dynamics of our activity, so too will the artist pull strength from the meaning of her name.
       Tiia means gift from God, Tiara, joy, happiness, deity of light. All of these very powerful meanings are set to direct her on her pathway to shine some light on the entertainment industry. Tiia has sang in her church choir at Spirit of Truth and Worship. She has performed at several churches and community events. She has trained at John Robert Powers for Modeling, Fridley Kicks Dance Team for Dancing, and enrolled in Main Street School of the Performing Arts High school. Tiia would hope to use her love of Modeling, Acting, Dancing and Singing as a means to work on many levels of the entertainment industry. 

        Inspired by the use of social networking for artist, like Nikki Minaj and some others, we are experimenting with this option. The goal for this artist, Tiia Maria is to rely on the inspiration of covers on other artist songs as she builds her own portfolio of music. Currently she has written enough material her freshman and sophomore albums. Some of the other songs she believes are intended for her to give/ sale to artist that are already in the business, but seem to need some new material.

     To like her and support her up and coming career you can find her on her YouTube channel at

Ever wonder how some children have made their dreams come true?


Many people are fascinated with stars that begin their careers young in life and make millions of dollars doing so. I often look to those cases, in a quest to find a great example of a person with a vision that has successfully gone viral. Among one of my favorite child stars is Raven Symone’. She was first introduced on the Bill Cosby show as little Olivia, Cosby's step grand daughter. While those accomplishments have earned her a long list of awards including her own Disney Show, “That So Raven, ” what I find most interesting is discovering which elements were found in the leadership that helped make it possible for the success of a child star.
To learn more about the leadership style, that helped make little Raven Symone’ the multimillion dollar mogul she is today, we must turn to her father, Christopher Pearman. As the manager of this visionary, his words are worthy to consider. Following his work on twitter, I learn that Pearman has written a new book to give logical advice for parents who want to raise successful and happy children with bright futures. 
To find out more about the book and its promotion the links below have been provided. The amazon link allows the sneak peek inside. From the sneak peek, you will learn that the book is written as a manual with a how to approach. Pearman focuses on eight principles, which are neatly categorized for a step by step following. His use of the Dream Catchers is used as a symbols to highlight each topic. I found his symbolism an inspirational take on a native American tradition which supports the belief that empowerment is found when one embraces their dreams/visions.
