About Stadium Entertainment Corp.
Stadium Entertainment Corp. is a multi-faceted entertainment company active in all aspects of the entertainment industry and specializing in the music industry sector. Stadium has developed a unique business model that incorporates three key elements into its musical projects:
- Musical projects involving high profile recording artists that include a designated income stream earmarked for a worthy and reputable charitable organization;
- an extensive and powerful network of music industry contacts including executives, artists, managers and agents, record companies, music publishers, and charities which attract high profile talent as well as corporate partners; and
- a seasoned, experienced and successful project management team.
To date, Stadiuma™s primary business focus has been on the production, marketing and distribution of prerecorded music products by established and top selling recording artists, a portion of the proceeds earmarked for worthy charitable and philanthropic organizations via exclusive licensing agreements with participating charities.
