<p>The EP, titled “Sleepless Nights” which will be released this summer also highlights production by The BamaBoyz (production credits include Destiny’s Child, Beyonce and Kelly Rowland among others)and producer Joshua Coleman. The debut effort features tracks written and co-produced by Amarachi Onyeise, Chizoba &#8220;Zo&#8221; Onyeise, Kalandria &#8220;Kallie&#8221; Walters. Fans can expect a range of experiences through“Sleepless Nights” from up tempo melodies and excellent vocal arrangements; In addition it offers a variety of pop, r&amp;b and acoustic, neo-soul tracks.</p>

<p>In conjunction with the EP release Amarachi&#8217;s hitting the road this summer for her promo tour in support of “Sleepless Nights” with stops slated in Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Miami and New York.</p>
<p><strong>About Amarachi</strong></p>
<p>Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Amarachi spent the first years of her life in Nigeria before moving to United States in 1996 and finally settling in Houston in 1998. Unfamiliar with the American culture Amarachi remained quiet and reserved.</p>
<p>Keeping herself occupied by reading and participating in sports while in school she began excelling in track &amp; field gaining the attention of many colleges and universities. With a life long dream to compete in the Olympics, a career in track &amp; field seemed inevitable but Amarachi also enjoyed singing and songwriting.</p>
<p>She recalls, ”I was in junior high when I joined a choir. It was then I knew I wanted to go further with a singing career. I went through high school knowing what I wanted to do but really couldn’t do it because my parents strongly encouraged; go to school, graduate and get a nine to five.”</p>
<p>After graduating high school at the early age of 16, Amarachi spent two years in college on track scholarships before eventually dropping out to pursue a music career but there was a detour along the way. And as fate would have it, modeling would take precedent over her music career as fashion designers Spasso, TikiGlam, Tropicouture amongst several recruited the 5&#8217;8&#8243; slim framed beauty for runway shows and to be the face of their brand. She also credits her confidence as an artist from working in NYC’s competition modeling market. After a brief stay in New York, Amarachi returned to Houston and started on yet another journey.</p>
<p>She begin writing material and performing live acoustic sets before finally stepping into the studio with the renowned production duo The Bama Boyz and Joshua Coleman to record her debut project. Slated for release Summer 2012 the debut EP will feature highly energetic tracks aback Amarachi’s rhythmic vocals showcasing her ability as a songstress with a few melodic tunes in between. “This EP is about me and the different takes of me and what I’ve been through and what I’ve seen others go through,” she says. While her music boasts originality she’s often compared to and categorized with Amy Winehouse and Toni Braxton.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>After years of being on stage with Beyonce the singer-songwriter-saxophonist set to release debut album May 22<sup>nd</sup></em></p>
<p><strong>Los Angeles, CA – Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 – </strong>After performing alongside many world-renowned superstars Kat Rodriguez has come into her own with her debut album, “Mockery.” A project, which was several years in the making, “Mockery”, is the creation of a singer-songwriter at heart known for her extraordinary talent as a sax player.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/blog/media/uploads//kat_rodriguez.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2719" title="kat_rodriguez" src="http://www.amentertainment.com/blog/media/uploads//kat_rodriguez-300x300.png" alt="kat rodriguez 300x300 Kat Rodriguez Readies “Mockery” Album" width="300" height="300" /></a>The album itself is slated for release on May 22<sup>nd</sup>, 2012 and features production from Keyon Harrold of KeyKat Productions. The anticipated single also titled “Mockery”<em> </em>will be released on May 8<sup>th</sup><em> </em>with the official music video forthcoming. Behind the scenes footage of the video will also be released.</p>
<p><em>“Mockery represents the struggle of my life from when I decided to quit my nine to five and focus all of my energy on doing what I love, believing in myself and in my talent. Going forth no matter what!”</em> says Kat. <em>“I been working on my music too long and I have something special to say!”</em></p>
<p>The debut effort already<em> </em>has spectators concurring that Kat Rodriguez is an undeniably talented vocalist with more than enough accolades under her belt.  Currently back on tour with Beyonce, Kat Rodriguez will soon be hitting the road for a tour of her own. Both the single and album will be immediately available on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/kat-rodriguez/id525609911" target="_blank">iTunes</a>, Amazon and Spotify.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>About Kat Rodriguez</strong></p>
<p>Kat Rodriguez (aka Kat) is an incredible saxophonist, singer, songwriter, arranger, and composer with an accomplished resume. As a saxophonist in Beyonce Knowles’ all female band, she has toured the world with one of the best but is now ready to show the world what she is made of. Kat is currently putting the finishing touches on her debut project and performing her single, “Mockery”, all over the country. The wonderful mix of R&amp;B and Pop is one that is missing in the music industry right now. The use of live band instruments stays true to Kat’s Jazz influence but with catchy hooks and up-tempo beats, the listener is bound to get up and dance.</p>
<p>In 2006, Beyonce Knowles held auditions for an all female band. Being one of 1,000 girls who auditioned and was handpicked by Beyonce herself, she took a break from singing for the opportunity of a lifetime. Since then, Kat has recorded <em>The Beyonce Experience </em>and the <em>I&#8230;Am </em>tour<em> </em>(with a feature solo on both DVD’s), plus numerous TV appearances which include: Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Today Show, Good Morning America, Tyra Banks, Bet Awards, Black Girls Rock Awards, American Music Awards, Fashion Rocks, Grammy&#8217;s, and the World Music Awards.</p>
<p>She has performed with Robert Glasper, Latin Percussionist Louis Bauso and Patato Valdes, JJ Hairston and Youthful Praise, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Slim thug, George Michaels, The Roots, Monica, Keri Hilson, Marsha Ambrosius, Fantasia, Ledisi, Kelly Price, Jill Scott, VV Brown, as well as many others. She has also recorded with Destiny’s Child, DJ Mark Ronson, Mobb Deep, Kid Kid, 50 Cent, Anthony Hamilton, Big Krit, Big Boi, Trumpeter/Producer Keyon Harrold and KeyKat Productions, and Beyonce…  just to name a few.</p>
<p>Working with and touring with Beyonce inspired Kat. “When I was younger, I would always pretend to sing in front of the mirror with a brush. Yes, it sounds cliché, but I did it. I&#8217;ve been fortunate enough to travel the world and share the stage with Beyonce. Now that I’ve seen the masses chant her songs, my heart yearns even more now to follow my childhood dream” says Kat. That is exactly what she is doing.</p>
<p>With her musical background and extensive performance experience, she blends talent and drive to create the phenomenon that is <em>Kat Rodriguez</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We often hear the phrase, <em>&#8220;I don&#8217;t have a website or Twitter account but everything has been good so far &#8211; I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s important right now.&#8221;</em> Okay, so if it&#8217;s not important right now, then <em>when</em>?! And, if you&#8217;re doing well now, think about how much better off you&#8217;d be with additional sales <em>if</em> you had an online presence. Right?</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2655" title="am_logo" src="http://www.amentertainment.com/blog/media/uploads//am_logo2-300x111.jpg" alt="am logo2 300x111 6 Reasons Your Company Needs an Online Presence" width="300" height="111" /></p>
<p>When it comes to<strong> marketing</strong> your company, its product or services an <strong>online presence</strong> is a key element in the success of your brand. It not only gives your company an identity but  also allows new and existing customers a chance to check you out. You&#8217;re allowing them into your world, showing them what you have to offer and how it benefits them while allowing the opportunity to connect with you.</p>
<p>There was a time when the only resources available for interaction with a company was to dial that 1-800 for &#8220;welcoming&#8221;<em> customer comments,  feedback or to process a refund.</em> There&#8217;s also that <em>let&#8217;s us know how our food&#8217;s tasting?</em> sticker on the fast food drive-thru windows. Even though both methods are dated, companies who implement them are transitioning into gathering vital consumer input via the Internet, thus the online presence.</p>
<p><strong>Six Reasons Why Your Company Needs an Online Presence</strong></p>
<p>- Instantly <strong>show the world</strong> what you have to offer without going anywhere</p>
<p>- To welcome<strong> customer interaction and feedback</strong></p>
<p>- Engage in <a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/digital-marketing">social media</a> platforms to <strong>reach your target market</strong></p>
<p>- Establish a <strong>brand identity</strong> and company culture</p>
<p>- Let people know <strong>what&#8217;s going on with your company</strong> (interaction through social media campaigns)</p>
<p>- For those who do<strong> Due Diligence</strong> (The first thing people do these days is Google a company, etc prior to spending their money)</p>

<p>Whenever McDonalds gives out toy collectibles to children when their parents buy them a Happy Meal, the company attracts more customers. When Nike shoes were used by the most illustrious NBA players, more people purchased products from them.</p>
<p>There’s very few successful companies that make use of no publicity. Every business organization needs to come up with a unique and effective marketing campaign that will get consumers to react to their products or services. Coming up with a publicity campaign is never easy. With a lot of ideas and strategies employed by different companies, it becomes a challenge for businesses to customize their own strategies. Fortunately, there are public relations firms that focus on designing publicity and advertising solutions that cater to every company&#8217;s needs.</p>
<p>One of the main roles of <a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/pr-publicity">public relations firms</a> is to spread the word. Letting the public know that your company has something better to offer. The mere fact that not all public relations campaigns work for all companies can make it difficult to come up with a method of introducing a new brand. For instance, TV commercials may not be suitable for a business establishment that only sells products/services to a small town. The demographics, target audience, company image, and the traits a company wants to establish needs to be determined.</p>
<p>Before a marketing event or project is planned, there’s an intensive study that is conducted in the background. Public Relations firms do constant market research to know which marketing strategy attracts the most attention. The research should also include determining what makes an eye-catching packaging, a good service, and a good product. Companies don’t always have the time to do this. That&#8217;s why they rely on professional PR specialists who have the expertise and technology to help them establish a viable relationship with their customers.</p>
<p>Technology and Public Relations. Every generation leaves a legacy when it comes to technology. The advancement of the modern technology makes it easier to reach thousands of people. But as to how they will use such technology in public relations, only the experts know. The internet has paved way to the creation of publicity strategies that are less expensive but far more effective than the traditional PR mechanisms such as entertainment marketing and social media.</p>
<p>PR Services. There are a lot of services that are usually offered by <a href="http://www.amentertainment.com/pr-publicity">public relations firms</a>. They can coordinate with production companies to have a business featured in a talk show. They can come up with an event which will necessitate the participation of the client’s potential customers. PR firms can also help in making newsletters, campaigns, and press releases that will be used by a business organization. They can publish articles on and off the web.</p>
<p>Picking the right Public Relations firm can be a daunting task. Company owners should always make sure they&#8217;re dealing with credible and highly experienced PR experts.</p>
