GRAiD - Gospel Recording Artistes for Industry Development |
Barbados Gospelfest is pleased to announce the support once again of Signia Financial Group Inc. for the 2014 Artistes Development Workshop. This follows the success of last year's workshop and the desire within the gospel music community for more training opportunities. This year will feature strong industry speakers within Barbados and international speakers with a good understanding of the challenges faced by Caribbean gospel music artistes.
The 2014 Signia Financial Group Inc. Artistes Development Workshop is FREE to participants and will be held on Saturday May 24th from 9am-1pm at the Grande Salle of the Tom Adams Financial Centre. This year's workshop theme “How Ready Are You?” is focused on providing greater insight on preparing to enter the international music market and functioning within the Caribbean gospel music community. It will also offer participants options for continued development guidance. Following the successful marketing, music promotions, events building, negotiations and execution of our latest GRAiD supported initiative which is set to offer promotional touring to powerful newcomers as well as established acts looking to break into new territories, we are pleased to announce the establishment of 'ArtisteHub Promotional Tours'.
ArtisteHub.net Tours reinforces our mandate of building underdeveloped markets, improving on standards and delivering sound representation of Gospel Music. Our team worked with various industry personnel to build and market events along the tour, therefore extending it services and awareness to networks of promoters, artiste, musicians, events staff, DJs, radio and Television networks, stage teams and various marketing personnel; all while serving the Artiste music ministry. Starting with a good Marketing Strategy and networking extensively is key. Look at going over and beyond your regular job description to achieve your goals. All progress cost, know that your hard work WILL pay off. 'Write the Vision, Make It Clear'.
My experience; within a year starting with Marketing Strategy, agreeing the plans and commitment to the plans with Artiste = Heavy Music Promotions which lead the successful negotiation of a 3 Caribbean island/4 concerts promotional tour where the exclusive release of a song in that region drawn further attention to the Artiste landing over million hits on YouTube also a place on the Caribbean's largest Gospel Music festival platform and the nomination of that exclusive song on the other side of the world !! ....with further updates to come ;) Another important view point is that this one project has provided new working relationships, structures and templates to the expand reach and exposure of gospel music message into new markets.
