Entertainment and Artist Management
BURBANK, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 7, 2014) - iL2M International
Corp. (the "Company" or "iLink2Music.com") (OTCQB:
ILIM), an emerging music entertainment and social media company,
announced today that it has retained Mr. Jerry Blair and his firm,
Global Entertainment Management, "GEM", to collaborate with the
Company's Entertainment and Artist Management division. A seasoned
music and entertainment industry executive, Mr. Blair and his GEM
team will collaborate with iL2M's Entertainment and Artist
Management Division by working with the Company's artists and
facilitating management, touring, publishing, merchandising, and
recorded music.
"We are very excited to have Jerry and his team as part of our
growing company," said Sarkis Tsaoussian, president of
iL2M. "Jerry brings over 25 years of artist management
experience and will help us develop and promote new and emerging
artists," said Tsaoussian.
Founded in 2009, GEM is a powerhouse multidisciplinary talent and
management company based in New York City. GEM's mission is to
provide outstanding professional management services and
distinguished instruction to their clients throughout the music,
entertainment and digital industries. The passion and
professionalism behind GEM led the company to a joint venture with
Primary Wave Music Publishing in 2010. In its five years, the
company has tripled its roster of talent, which now includes a
comprehensive partnership with Wyclef Jean, and the management of
superstar producer/writer Aaron Pearce, and Top 40 pop artist Chris
Wallace.
GEM has continued its success in 2014, entering into a strategic
partnership with ThinkSay Records, the #1 independent pop label
home to Chris Wallace. Their most recent partnership is with Top
Independent Rock label Fat Lady Music, home to emerging artists
such as Devour The Day.
Jerry Blair, founder of GEM, has been involved with the music
industry's top recording labels and artists who have defined
popular culture and radio airwaves for over 25 years. During the
height of the 80s, Jerry headed the west coast office of Chrysalis
Records working with leading artists such as Huey Lewis, Pat
Benatar, Billy Idol, Jethro Tull and Blondie. He went on to spend
the next 11 years at Columbia Records Group, which remained the
dominant recording label in the music industry throughout the 90s.
While at Columbia, Jerry served as the Executive Vice President for
the label and personally oversaw the career development of music
superstars Mariah Carey, The Fugees, Destiny's Child and Jessica
Simpson. He additionally rejuvenated Aerosmith's career by pairing
the group up with Diane Warren. The result was, "I Don't Want To
Miss A Thing," Aerosmith's first single to top the charts at #1. He
orchestrated the promotional and marketing campaigns of legendary
artists Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel which resulted in bringing
some of the greatest grossing record sales and concert tours in
their careers.
Mr. Blair was the catalyst of the Latin pop explosion by launching
Ricky Martin's U.S. career. Starting with his show-stopping
performance at the 1999 Grammys to "Livin' La Vida Loca"
skyrocketing to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, Blair's foresight
opened the door for numerous other Latin artists, including
Shakira, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias to
crossover into the English market. He was later hired to serve as
the Executive Vice President at Arista Records. There he was
instrumental in developing the careers of Usher, Outkast, Pink and
Dido. Pink's debut album, "Can't Take Me Home," produced three
massive radio hits which went top 10 in the US, driving domestic
sales of over two million and more than five million dollars
worldwide.
Mr. Blair went on to re-launch the career of Mariah Carey as her
partner in Monarc Music. He secured a worldwide distribution deal
with Universal Music for Carey which resulted in enabling her to
re-capture her place among the top selling pop charts and concert
tours and to maintain her current success. Continually respected
industry wide as a leading multi-cultured music-promoter and
lifestyle-marketer specialist, Blair has created another superstar
with Mika, who he signed. As a result of his management, Mika
received a Grammy nomination and in 2007 was the number one selling
new artist selling more than six million units worldwide and he
continues to enjoy his consistent position at the top of the charts
as a multi-platinum artist around the world.
