According to Mr. Ibiama, the company has joined forces with music streaming platform - Spinlet, to hold a Social Media seminar come July 27, 2015 at the Glass House new Rumoula/Stadium road link road by 10am. The event will educate artistes, music label owners, and other entertainment stake holders on the importance of Social media and ways to use it to improve the entertainment market of the Niger-Delta region.
Also, on the 18th of August, 2015
another free Entertainment and Music business Seminar will hold at the
same venue, with a final comedy and music concert on the 13th of September, 2015 at the Aztech Arcum. The headline artistes of the concert are Grafton managed and signed entertainers - Prince Hezekiah (comedian), Mr. 2Kay (singer) and a host of other national acts.
In
a chat with Mr. Tonye Ibiama, he said, "After a decade of producing and
creating events and managing acts in the region, it is best to spot the
areas where the region is lacking; and for me, the new media or social
media is very important and that's why we are embarking on this mission
to help enlighten the people more in this area. Likewise the
Entertainment industry in general and its for free."
Tonye
also said, that the norm for a lot of gifted artistes outside Lagos is
to run to Lagos to pursue their dreams. In his words, "I have ran my
business in Nigeria and the UK and I understand that what people need is
information. If people are informed to know and understand how things
work in this entertainment business, they won't need to leave their own
region to another in search of greener pastures.
"There
might be need for frequent visits to a major city, but its also good to
build other cities in a country.and social media creates that
opportunity even though it may not be complete, but it makes a great
impact. Thanks to Spinlet for identifying the need in this area with us
and for powering this forthcoming event. We also thank all the local and
international media that have identified with this project."
The CEO of Grafton Entertainment said he will unveil other activities ahead of the company's anniversary as time goes on.
