“Roccett To Success” Panel to Debut at 2009 SEA Event

Tunica, MS--- In a time where the music industry has experienced a vast oversaturation of music, coupled with budget constraints, West Coast Rapper, Roccett, and his label/team, “Get Your Green Up Entertainment”, have maintained consistent visibility and branding for the talented rapper and his upcoming projects. Roccett and Get Your Green Up Entertainment have been able to create and maintain strategic branding and visibility initiatives by utilizing three rules: (1) Stay Consistent (2) Be Creative (3) Explore All Opportunities.
It is this mantra for life and work ethic that has landed Roccett in national and international magazines, created a worldwide underground buzz and enabled him to get over 69,000 returns when searched on Google.com, even while operating with limited assistance. As an independent artist, Roccett has garnered global attention that has attracted the interest of various major labels.
Roccett and Get Your Green Up Entertainment’s consistent grind and work ethic have sparked the attention of the Southern Entertainment Awards (SEA), an annual music event that attracts over 3,000 attendees yearly to Tunica, Mississippi. This year, SEA will debut its new panel “Roccett To Success”. The panel event, moderated by legendary Hip-Hop advocate, Wendy Day, will examine the career of Roccett to date and provide event attendees with invaluable steps and key information to assist in creating awareness and branding of themselves, while operating with limited funds. Roccett’s manager, Rick Edwards (CEO of Get Your Green up Ent.) will head the panel for Team Roccett and provide invaluable insight and advice related to direct marketing and artist branding.
The Southern Entertainment Awards will take place March 19-22 in Tunica, Mississippi. Visit http://srv.ezinedirector.net/?n=2766380&s=92335265 for more information on this event.
