HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alonzo Pierce,
CEO of Top Shelf Brands Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation)
(OTCBB: DKTS), is pleased to announce that Big Tent Group, has
secured a partnership for Top Shelf Brands with Groovlyne/Konlive
Distribution/Konvict Records that will create a competitive edge
for Top Shelf Brands in the alcohol beverage industry.
This partnership is the latest score for Top Shelf Brands (TSB)
as the company continues to carve out a path to move forward as a
successful long term entity. The Konvict Music family has years of
decorated success. While the Konvict music family boasts a
past that features multiple award-winning artists, they are even
more proud to still be a force as one of the most successful record
labels in the music industry. They have produced, managed and
collaborated with some of the most iconic music artists of our time
such as Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Gwen
Stefani, David Guetta and
Michael Jackson.
"We are poised to change the face of the tequila industry with
Besado so it makes perfect sense to partner up with the biggest
innovators in the music business," said Top Shelf Brands' CEO
Alonzo Pierce. "This is a real
testament to the collective efforts of all the parties involved and
we are very excited about this partnership and what this does for
Top Shelf Brands moving forward."
Konvict Music was founded by its CEO, Aliaune Damala Badara
Thiam, better known in the music scene as the rapper "Akon." Akon
is one of two artists in the history of the Billboard Hot
100 to hold down the top two spots on the chart on two separate
occasions. The company is a family affair as Akon's brother,
Omar Thiam, is the President of
Groovlyne/Konvict. Music has deep roots in the family which
includes their father, who was a percussionist and worked with
legends like James Brown and
B.B. King. As veterans of the music
business, the Thiam brothers understand the importance of working
with people of good character and know that Big Tent co-founder
Jeff Frieberger is a rarity.
"Music has always been a love for us and we've been very
successful with it," said Omar
Thiam. "I've worked with Jeff for many years on
various projects and one thing is certain, if he is behind a
project, it will be successful for all of us. He has a great
reputation for doing good business in our industry and that doesn't
come easy. He has our full support and we are greatly looking
forward to the many things we have lined up for Top Shelf and its
brands with our many upcoming concerts, videos, and song
projects.
Top Shelf Brands has arranged a launch party for both Besado
Tequila and Dziaq Liqueur during the first week of March with the
Groovlyne/Konlive team at one of Punta
Cana's premier nightclubs, Club Jewel, recently opened by
Akon. Akon is also set to release a new CD and both entities will
be looking to take advantage of the new release with several
co-promotions.
"This will be a party like no other to introduce these fresh
brands to the world," says Omar
Thiam. "We will have many celebrities and music artists in
attendance and we will be shooting a concert video of the whole
experience."
This partnership will give Top Shelf Brands not only the ability
to open additional streams of revenues through traditional music
marketing practices but also allow for product sales at concert
venues and related retail establishments. Additionally, the
partnership with the Konvict Music family provides unprecedented
music industry expertise and also gives TSB access to some of the
best advisors and relationships in the music industry today with
years of proven success.
"Recruiting the best experts in music only made sense as that
gave us the ability to monetize most of our brand building efforts
with Groovlyne via concerts, promotions, after parties and other
events," Frieberger said. "This will be a key factor in generating
additional streams of revenue for Top Shelf Brands while putting
our brands on a marketing platform with which most cannot
compete."
"All of our projects with Groovlyne are positioned to see a
profitable return making this partnership a game changer,"
Frieberger continued. "In short, we're going to market our product
with A-list celebrities and make money doing it. It's a no
brainer."
