What does your business do?

Vivid Rich is a subscription based website, where entertainers such as Comedians, poets and musicians can display their talent and have a chance to be voted into a quarterly showcase. Vivid Rich assist with the marketing and promotion and brand expansion for artist to take their career to another level. We travel from state to state looking for independent artist to showcase in the Vivid Rich Music Tour.

How would you use the grant money?

We are currently working on a mini-series for YouTube to expand the brand of vivid rich. The mini-series will show what it takes to be a part of the Vivid Rich Music tour. If awarded the grant money, it would contribute to the travel expenses such as transportation and lodging as well as the cost of camera production crew. We would also host open mics in inner city areas for youth!

What would the grant enable you to do that you can't now?

It would delay the tour dates until we are able to generate additional funds

If Idea Cafe's Grant helps your biz reach greater success, how will you "pay it forward" to help others in some way?

If the idea cafe grant helped Vividrich reach its business success, I would pay it forward by giving free concerts for independent artist for inner city youth programs. There are a lot of middle school and high school students that are driven by music. I would like to provide a program for students that are serious about music. The “Milennials” if you will are the largest music consumers. Holding showcase broadens horizons not just for the youth but also for the artist, as they understand their demographics of their audience.
