Rap Music from the southern states of the USA is currently riding high as the music of choice throughout the world and from April 2008, the UK and Mainland Europe will be flooded with the world’s top southern rap titles, with Irish Hip-Hop entrepreneur Kev Storrs at the helm.
Having spent much of the past 4 years developing the top urban brand in Ireland, Rap Ireland, Storrs has just signed a contract with BCD Music Group (Houston, TX) to operate as European Project Manager, overseeing the company’s expansion into Europe.
With an distinguished portfolio that consists of a nationally distributed magazine, ground-breaking club events, and international tours with the likes of Rihanna, Snoop Dogg and P.Diddy, Storrs is ready for the challenge of bringing America’s top independent urban distributor to Europe.
"What drew me to BCD was the company’s passion and love for urban music that is perfectly in line with the customers they are looking to reach. I hope to provide an extension of that into Europe. We want to put an end to the days when we in Europe have to search the internet to find the latest music from the states. We want it in our local stores. From next month that dream will be a reality"
Building on an already impressive network of contacts throughout Europe, Storrs is looking to break down cultural and language barriers and make a real impact on central European territories previously unserviced.
"We want the whole of Europe to benefit from BCD’s presence. We want places like my hometown of Dublin, Ireland to be able to see top talent from the south performing in clubs, doing in-stores and providing brilliant music to the public.
"I ask anyone involved in the urban music scene in Europe who wants to be part of this movement to reach out to me. We are building something special, and this is just the beginning"
BCD Music Group are an urban music distributor based in Houston, TX.
