A cooperative endeavor with DJ KSB, Volume one of the compilation will feature some of the best talent who have performed and/or participated in a previously held PPR 101 seminar/showcase. “For many independent artists, we act as their unofficial publicist, via PPR 101. Long after PPR 101 has left their city, we continue to advise many past participants on how to build on their existing momentum. Having music included on the compilation cd affords the artists music reviews by top entertainment journalists and exposure in additional markets, even when they aren’t present. PPR 101 is not just an event; it’s a relationship of results, explains ChiQ Simms, event organizer and celebrity publicist.”
Past PPR 101 showcase winners like Brittany Starr of Dallas, Texas have gone on to New York and Chicago earning a music video and opportunity to work with Twista. Starr took second place at New York’s premiere A&R talent scouting event Blaze the Stage and currently has several major labels bidding for her. Starr hit the BET 106 & Park stage January 28 and won with more than 50% of the vote. Her win landed an opportunity to be heard of the Tom Joyner Morning show and a slot as the opening act for Comedians J Anthony Brown and Sheryl Underwood. New Orleans hiphop rock star of MGG Entertainment, Michael Carlione and Yung Chase of 100 Entertainment have both performed on Bet’106 & Park after participating in PPR 101. The T.L.
