The Evolution of Music
Those of us who are in the entertainment industry are seeing the day to day changes that are upon us. This is a global evolutionary shift. We are not the only industry that is growing and evolving, but as creatives we must continue to find new income sources and outlet’s to have our art forms noticed. It’s important to expand, educate and grow in any business.
Currently MyLena Entertainment is working on new ventures in the United States and Europe. We are aligning with new partners to advance the visual and documentation side of the industry as well as the audio side of our business. Each week over the next month we will introduce you to some of our new partners and our new artist and entertainment service divisions.
