Many of you were traveling and missed my New Year Message so click right here for it.  I have a thing with not fixing things which are not broken so this year I am not making any major goals or changes to my life.  In fact, I am pretty happy with my life these days so that in itself is a blessing.  This year,  I will be working on some of the goals I set for myself in 2009 and even before, because as far as I am concerned "one of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks." 

For those of you who had stumbling blocks in 2009, breathe easy!  Think of 2010 as the continuation of your life and not the end of  "another year."   This year represents another 365 days for you to continue working on your goals and dreams so that they can become realities real soon.  Someone once told me that the paths in life which have no obstacles probably do not lead to anywhere special.  I really believe that...actively think about that when you have some alone time and let me know if you agree.

For the past three years, my number one favorite "thing"  to do in January is to renew, rejuvenate and recharge.  That also means that I do much less as far as work is concerned and a lot more resting and relaxing.  If you have not taken some time to just BREATHE from the events of 2009, I hope you will make the time to do so.

Again, I wish you a wonderful 2010.  I hope to meet many of you who I have not yet met in person, and I remain thankful for your continued support.  Happy anniversary to Willis and Diane Eubanks; Happy Birthday to Melissa Smith, Clehan Williams, Swami Gyankirti, Michael Brown, Juan Davenport and everyone else celebrating this week.

Happy New Year,

Rosie "Peppy" Parke

Call for Artists for 2010 Shanghai Tour

A Peppy Entertainment & Promotions/Movementunes Collab

micChina is a large country with many big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.  China is also one of the "hot spots" when it comes to business and investment opportunities.  On a visit to Beijing and Shanghai in 2007, I also discovered the bubbling entertainment industry in China and was fascinated!  The Chinese are very hungry for reggae, hip-hop, and many other genres of music.  They party HARD and the promoters there need YOU to satisfy the appetites of their patrons.

If you are an artist who would like to tap into this lucrative entertainment industry and are serious about going on a tour to Shanghai, China in early 2010, email me at peppy@peppypromotions.com.

We are seeking all types of entertainers but our immediate needs are:
  • Two male rappers/MCs for 6 month contracts
  • Two 5-piece bands (female lead singer)  for six month contracts
  • Two dance groups who can dance to reggae/dancehall and hip hop for six month contracts
  • A dynamic female singer who can sing a variety of pop songs for a six month contract
*All artists who have positive content will be invited to be a part of www.movementunes.com.  Email peppy@peppypromotions.com ASAP and send your Bio, photo and Youtube links if you are interested.
