Bajan Entertainers Time To Talk

February 4, 2010 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

Later today the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) is reaching out to the members of the Barbados music scene to come and discuss their ideas and thoughts on the Barbados Music Scene. No matter what role you play you are invited.

I might not be able to make it but I will like to share the following thoughts. In one simple statement.

The internet with all its websites and services is now the world's largest record label. It only shelves artiste who don't participant and cuts very lucrative deals for those who are smart enough to learn its ways. Corey Graham 2.0

Here is an excerpt from Andrea King of The NCF,

Entertainers’ time to talk
2010 has opened with a flurry of entertainment activity, with outstanding performances at the BMA Awards and the Barbados Jazz Festival. What has been most heartening are the comments from international industry officials, who are hailing our local talent.
But in spite of the praises which are being showered, questions remain about the state of the Barbados music industry.

On Thursday, February 4 
At 6.00 p.m. 
Bump and Wine Café
Bridgetown

The NCF is inviting all participants in the music sector  to come have their say about the challenges they face, their expectations, and how to help chart the way forward.

Work Smart,

Corey Graham 2.0

CG 2.0 Bio For Your Review

October 28, 2009 By Corey Graham 2.0 View Comments

Hey people, its been a very long time in coming in coming but I have finally written my bio. I have been putting it off for sometime. This has been one of the hardest topics for me to write on in recent times! 

If you don't have a bio as yet yourself I suggest you get to work now. Its always good to put yourself out there so that you can attract like minded people.

Anyways I am sharing it first with you my readers, before anyone gets to see it.  Let me know what you think see it below!

 

BIO


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.

You will find below a listing of my various talents, skills, resources and accomplishments.
