BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, Monday September 15, 2014 - Producer Ebonnie Rowe was very happy and impressed with the talent that came out, especially seeing a lot of new faces and strong voices!
“I was concerned that 4 years in we may have already seen everyone there is to see but was pleasantly surprised. The number of artists that came out was around the same number from previous years. For me it’s not about the quantity but the quality and we have more than enough to choose from for the concert. I must also thank judges Rupee, Alison Hinds, Jaicko, Kellie Cadogan, JJ Poulter, Sonia Mullins, DJ D.Luxe, Minim and Caroline Reid for making time in their busy schedules to support and encourage the artists who were thrilled to be able to perform in front of them.”
The next step is for organizer to make their final selection or artists for this year’s programme, after which they will go through a series of workshops – Vocal & Performance, Songwriting and general music industry information.
There will be an event in October where everyone who was chosen will be announced, rehearsals will be scheduled with the House Band, lots of media interviews and appearances and then the concert date is November 8.
Rowe states” A lot of people only see the concert and aren’t aware of the full developmental programme that we offer – networking, mentoring, educational and performance opportunities. I would encourage them to speak with some of the artists who have participated in the past and get a full idea about what we are doing and that it is a project worthy of support.
We hope that more of corporate Barbados will be inspired to contribute and help us to continue providing these opportunities for young women. She also wishes to thank everyone for their continued support and for the sponsors who have come on board in the face of shrinking budgets in these difficult economic times. And of course I have to mention that tickets for the concert are on sale now!”
