SURREY, British Columbia -- Talents from the “FYE Live” and their promoter, Maxipro Entertainment Inc. have formalized their tieup with the signing of “artist management agreement” at the Reyfort Media Group studio January 28. Performers who were minors were represented by their parents in the signing of the four-paged contract and a special power of attorney that would bind both parties for a year with a “four-year annual irrevocable option.” “It is our responsibility to hone your skills,” announced Socorro “Babes” Newland, COO/managing director of Surrey-based Maxipro Entertainment, Inc. “We are planting the seeds for you so that someday those interested to hire your services as talents will come to us and ask how much are they going to pay you.”
