Record Exec Tyrone Hodnett Signs a Major Distribution Deal

The Connected Music Group Presents...!


Ladies and Gentlemen,

My name is Tyrone Hodnett. Along with my business partners Terrance Hackley and Paul Brinson, I am 1/3 owner of the Connected Music Group. We are a full service music/video production company as well as an indie record label based in Va. Beach, Va. On the business side of things, I would like to present and illustrate my proposed business plan to you. This project is not just limited to the music entity. It also involves film, fashion, and the strategic marketing of the Connected Music Group Brand. With key people in key places within the CMG Organization, we will provide our customers and consumers with classic material sure to provide years of enjoyment within the trifecta of film, fashion, and music!

First let's discuss music. Google me! I am Tyrone Hodnett, a hip hop legend and now a mogul in the making! For over 25 years I have been involved in the entertainment business. I have worked with both major labels as well as independent labels. One thing that they both have in common is that they are both looking for that next hit record! With this new project, I have more than that. CMG has a cd full of hit records! Every song that we recorded for this project was designed to be a smash single. We transcended from the norm on this project and decided to make it multi-regional. Due to personal as well as spiritual growth, this project is designed to entertain and unify not only my culture but every culture.

This particular recording was designed to instantly capture the listeners attention. We have signed the hottest underground artist from various regions around the country. A hit making collective that upon listening to the diverse musical genres that they embodied, I gave them each the opportunity to help CMG shape and mold this project into greatness! Each song will be released as a single as well as be accompanied by a video. Thus allowing us to release multiple singles at once targeting multiple genres simutaneously.

Aside from our CMG project, I have partnered with the Universal Music Group. We have started an independent label called CMG/Universal for which we have a lucrative distribution deal for. We to date have signed 6 artist and 5 producers that are destined to become major staples in the entertainment industry. The Connected Music Group has also branched off onto various other avenues together including but not limited to film, fashion, television, and model management.

Secondly we have our film projects. We are set to star in a new Forcefulworld film created and written by Full Force. It is based on their characters from the epic comedy film House Party. Not only am I starring in the film, I am also in charge of the soundtrack for the film. It is sure to become a number one reality show and make alot of money for whichever network that I choose for it to be on. The transition into film is only a natural progression for a hip hop star. Visit my website for a detailed list of projects and my acting resume.

As for the fashion world, we have created our own line of clothing. It is currently for sale exclusively on my online store called The TwangDation. The response has been great so far! We have exceeded our sales projection this month by 46%. We have a tentative scheduled nationwide release for our brand in June. The international response has been great. Our brand has been featured in a few music videos and countless television ads and flyers from the west to the eastcoast.

In closing, The Connected Music Group Presents is sure to be a classic project. By partnering with Universal, we are enabled to reach plateaus through marketing and strategizing that without each other would have been more harder to achieve. This has been a long, heartfelt journey. Paul, Terrance, and myself, along with the great CMG Family that we are assembling, have committed to providing our fans and friends a unique entertainment experience. Whether it be thru books, film, or music, the Connected Music Group Is So Official! Mi gente, my people, we are the Connected Music Group! CMG Yall!
