Illyricum Entertainment is Founded by
Wade Bassford. Our goal is to
generate growth in the arts industries
economically, educationally, and
politically.
Our experience ranges from Political
Campaign Ads for Radio, to Record
Releases as a Record Label, and even
Sponsoring Non-Profit Organizations.
We build careers, out of doing what
recording artists love, making music.
We seek actively to promote change,
and growth in urban advertising, and
even growth between independent,
underground, and major industry
artists.
We are built on the principals that
entertainment and the arts serve as
valuable to a healthy life, and as well
community involvement.
Our operating model comes from years
of studying industry trends, and even
trends in negotiation, and dealings from
artists, to agents, models, and even
other record labels.
Our Goals for 2009 are to reach
broader crowds, copying the same
success of our existing release in the
Mid-West, while building our artists
catalogs, and our catalog of artists.
Our Success in 2008 has been positive
and we have grown into an organization
from a group of artists that were just
trying to get by and make some music.
We realize that it's almost over and we
are already committing time to setting
up ventures for 2009, and into 2010.
Our First Release
Tha Dean Of All Things
Sold over 400 Copies Locally, and we
are reaching out to retailers to make
our products readily accessible to the
consumer.
Upcoming Projects Include
I Kandy Calender - A 12 Month
Calender full of beautiful and aspiring
ladies who dare to do more than the
average woman, while the calender is
dedicated to promoting our upcoming
Ladies Fashion and Accessory Line
UnExpected - Jab a Mississippi native
and his first release.
DeanKong - Tha Dean sophmore
release already in the works.
TenFold - NineXRuff's freshman
commercial release after years of
underground promotion, and business
planning.
We Are Also Working On other projects
and ventures such as :
"I Kandies", and elite squad of Urban
Models, who can provide talent
services for advertising, personalities,
and film.
"I Kandy" the ladies fashion and
accessory line brought to the industry
exclusively by Illyricum Entertainment.
"RuffWear" the mens line dedicated to
Urban Sophistication From The Street
To The Strip And Beyond.
Currently we seek Joint Ventures
through which we will build lasting
relationships of strong business bonds.
Our Talent holds the Integrity of being
independent while reaping the rewards
of a strong backbone of a Major Label.
That is what we invest in.
We anticipate working with private
investors on a larger scale than has
been done by us in the past, and with
greater rewards, as this is only the
beginning.
We put our talent, and our artists first,
and our fanbase second. We build and
develop with our artists. Leaving the
true art of music in foresight. Without
censorship, for the world, and for the
people of the world. We ourselves are
artists. So Enjoy!
