 NEW
YORK (www.gigamerica.com) - Emails and reports have hit the underground
urban scene as the Sony Urban Music Showcase 2004 series went to cities
looking to sign artists to the Epic Records roster. With more than 25
cities of talented artists and some of them auditioning to be in a spot
to perform and showcase their talent in front of A&R Vice President
Joe Cerini, the artists came across even more dissappointment as no one
was signed to the label. Many promoters of the event in each
city contacted each other to see if anyone from their showcase was
picked up by the record label Vice President. Sony representatives in
the California office were totaly unaware of any type of showcase being
presented by the New York Office were Joe Cerini wroks giving many
artists, managers, promoters and coordinators an uneasy feeling about
the showcase series presented by the Vice President of Epic records Joe
Cerini. The company known as gigamerica, www.gigamerica.com
had attempted to contact other record labels to join in on the showcase
series with Epic records but refused due to descreprencies of a 60 day
"first right of refusal" unknowingly presented to the artists. The
current website of gigamerica shows that no one was signed to the
Sony/Epic label and but guarantees that with new record label
representatives of the 2005 showcase series someone will get signed.
