There are two new hotels opening up soon. The owners are looking for mid-to-up-tempo music by new emerging artists to be played during the day (no profanity) – reggae, house/edm, r&b, jazz, hip hop, electronic music is all good. If you or someone you know would be interested in having their music played in a hotel. Have them send their best 3 songs to me, along with name & phone number. This is NOT a paying situation, but the exposure will be great. However, ALL artists requested to perform live at either hotel will be Paid.
To clarify:
You receive NO PAY if your songs are selected to be played on their sound systems.
Based on your music and other criteria, you may be asked to play live. For that gig, you will receive pay.
E-mail JP at JBPiv1@gmail.com for more info and to submit songs if you are interested.
