Cecil Hinkson: I don't know who is pushing YOUR AGENDA to get PAN BACK ON THE ROAD FOR CARNIVAL. But it certainly seems that the PP formed a new company in 2014 to promote the music of TRINIDAD and TOBAGO internationally. Which is all I have ever talked about on this forum: WHERE IS THE MUSIC?
Well now it seems that my dreams might come true and I can be driving down the road and turn on the radio and hear MUSIC FROM TRINIDAD coming from the MAINSTREAM RADIO STATIONS. Thanks to the TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO MUSIC COMPANY.
Boy ah rooting for TORONTO to win the WORLD SERIES now that the SF GIANTS get kicked out AT HOME of all places.

THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO MUSIC COMPANY LIMITED
The Trinidad and Tobago Music Company Limited (MusicTT) was established in 2014. MusicTT’s mandate is to stimulate and facilitate the business development and export activity of the music industry in Trinidad and Tobago to generate national wealth. As such, MusicTT provides industry-wide strategic and action plans toward the development of the music industry.
The government has identified the music industry as one of three pioneering sectors that are pivotal to long-term economic sustainability because of dropping prices of oil and gas, Trinidad and Tobago's main export. The other two sectors identified for development are fashion and film. To permanently implant T&T’s musical talents in international circles, MusicTT has established an online music showcase featuring local artists. This showcase promotes and exposes the world to Trinbagonian musical creativity.
MusicTT has already produced workshops (SONGWRITING AND PRODUCTION/MUSIC PUBLISHING/MUSIC IP VALUATION/MIXING AND MASTERTING) bringing in Grammy Award winning producers and audio engineers along with high level music executives and songwriters from around the world.
MusicTT is also attempting to build capacity for individual local music stakeholders; build community/capacity of the entire Trinidad and Tobago music ecosystem or facilitate international exposure of local music stakeholders.
MusicTT is currently working with UK-based consultants SOUND DIPLOMACY to develop a national strategic action plan for the music industry of Trinidad and Tobago. Sound Diplomacy is the leading global advisor on music cities and market development and as strategists for cities, developers, large private sector organisations and governments, Sound Diplomacy provides research and market expertise in increasing the value of the music and music business economies in state, city, region and development plans.
The plan, which is estimated to be completed by April 2017, aims to guide the future direction of the local music industry consistent with the needs of the country and provide Trinidad and Tobago’s music industry with a competitive advantage. It seeks to uncover penetrable areas in the international market, guide the sales, marketing, distribution efforts and generate revenue for local talent.
