Press Release Summary: Record labels and artists can apply to receive in-kind music
promotion services towards name awareness services.

Press Release Body: ATLANTA, GA, May 16, 2008 -- In a time where music sales are
suffering and independent artists face larger obstacles to breaking into the music
industry, N.Y.L.A. Entertainment Group is making available $5,000 in music promotion
grants available to record labels and artists. The grant can be used towards
in-house music promotion and/or marketing services including: record label
consulting; music servicing to DJs, tastemakers, & record pools; marketing plans;
project management; and select PR services. Record labels can apply online at
www.NYLAEntertainmentGroup.com/prgrant.htm. Deadline to apply is 11:59 pm on June
16, 2008, and applicants will be notified of their acceptance or denial status no
later than July 16, 2008. All completed applications received by the deadline will
be notified of their acceptance or denial status by July 16, 2008. Grant is not
available to current or former clients of N.Y.L.A. Entertainment Group. Only 1-3
record labels/artists will be awarded the grant based on need & project viability.
All others who have been denied will receive a 50% discount on the same services.

\"I decided to offer this music promotion grant because the music business as we know
it is dying a fast death, and we\'re now entering the new world of Music Business
2.0. There\'s a new way of promoting music and those that have caught on are doing
well, but unfortunately, many artists and labels, particularly independent artists,
still lag behind. Ultimately, there will continue to be a wider gap between those
who do it well and have sizable budgets and those trying to break into the industry.
So, this music promotion grant is sort of my way of continuing the education so to
speak. Admittedly, there\'s still a lot to be learned about these emerging trends
transforming the industry, but it takes a keen mind to be innovators and
progressors.\" Fabiola Fleuranvil, CEO of N.Y.L.A. Entertainment Group.
