Nadia BatsonWednesday, May 28, 2008 -- Los Angeles, California:– Trinidad and Tobago’s very own Nadia Batson is being wooed by significant independent labels after her grand showing at the trendy Dragonfly club in Los Angeles.

Nadia’s sultry and powerful performance impressed the audience which included some of the key influential figures in LA’s entertainment sector. In attendance were executives from nation-wide record labels, a major promoter of sporting events throughout the United States and decision makers from MTV, Hits Magazine, top A&R consulting firms, movie production firms, print and electronic media as well as publishing and record label outfits. The energy and tremendous buzz created by the Trinidad and Tobago contingent including Kes the Band, Maximus Dan and their management team continued into the night’s performance.

Our local entertainers were also VIP guests to an Interscope Records promotion event at a chic club in Sunset and interacted with celebrities and well known R&B producer Airrion McCoy and executives from BMI.

This LA experience for Nadia Batson was partially facilitated by the Trinidad and Tobago Entertainment Company whose mandate to internationalize the sector aligned with the potential benefits of the project.

T&T Ent continues to invest in internationally focused projects, that help to promote the entertainment products of Trinidad and Tobago. A decisive factor in the funding of this initiative was the targeted audience base which included those outside of the Caribbean Diaspora.

T&T Ent is excited about the imminent outcomes of other T&T Ent funded projects involving artists such as Choc’late Allen, Marlon Asher, Savant Limited and  3 Canal.

T&T Ent was established under the Ministry of Trade and Industry to foster the growth and development of a globally competitive entertainment industry.  The company looks forward to establishing closer linkages with the artistic community through its country wide workshops. 

T&T Ent is in the process re-engineering its www.ttentonline.com website to include downloads of new and archival music files and digital videos as well as a searchable on-line database of all those involved in the performing arts and entertainment sector of Trinidad and Tobago. This website will be the first dynamic point of contact for regional and international bodies seeking information and contact persons for our local sector.
