Senior Robert Truglia is an intern at eMuze, a startup whose focal point is an up and coming social networking site eMuze Connect that hopes to bring emerging talent in the entertainment industry together with professionals and fans.
"It's going to be a way for artists that aren't well known to develop a profile. We're going to help these people get discovered," Truglia said.
eMuze Management is currently managing several artists, one of whom is 5 & A Dime, a new mash−up artist for whom Truglia does work.
eMuze is not only focused on music, however. They are also hoping to get more comedians into the public eye with their blog CMDY.com.
"Working for a comedy blog, I thought it would be easy to find new comedians because I'm always on YouTube, but it's hard to just start from scratch and go out and find these diamonds in the rough," Truglia sad.
Truglia mostly does a lot of publicity work, trying to get the artists who are collaborating with eMuze into the spotlight. He does this by emailing music blogs about new artists. When asked if this has affected his musical taste at all, Truglia said that it has broadened his horizons.
"I've discovered a lot of new music and am getting into dubstep and mash−ups, but I also like Lana del Rey's album and recently have been listening to some Whitney Houston mash−ups."
www.eMuze.com will be launched within the next few months, so keep an eye out for it.
