Blasmo Studio is excited to announce auditions for the creation of a West Coast musical troupe that will focus on high-end audio and video performances of popular classic songs. Our mission is to infuse these timeless tunes with a playful “California style,” drawing inspiration from the vibrant influences of Latin, Reggae, Ska, and Surfbeat music. Imagine the whimsical arrangements that might arise if Antonio Carlos Jobim, Bob Marley, and Dick Dale collaborated as music producers; that’s the essence we aim to capture. With heavy percussive dance grooves at the core of our sound, our performances will be designed to engage and energize audiences while creating an infectious atmosphere of musical joy.

Embracing the revolutionary landscape of Internet Audio and Video, we aspire to build a dynamic platform similar to the success achieved by East Coast powerhouse PostModern Jukebox. However, our vision takes a different direction, focusing on distinctive genres and backgrounds that reflect the West Coast's eclectic spirit. If you’re unfamiliar with PostModern Jukebox, just search “PMJ All About That Bass” to see what we mean; we’re looking to blend vintage charm with contemporary flair but maintain our unique identity and sound.

We are on the lookout for strong vocalists who possess either top-tier vocal techniques or a distinctive “signature” voice that captivates audiences instantly. Think of iconic voices like Tom Petty or Cher—though they may not boast the most technical prowess, their uniqueness is unmistakable. To thrive in our troupe, you'll need to be a team player with a basic understanding of harmonies, as we intend to put a strong emphasis on rich vocal interplay throughout all of our recordings.

For those who successfully join our creative venture, there are two compensation options available for your participation in recording sessions. First, you can opt for a guaranteed rate of no less than $45.00 per hour, paid in cash at the end of each session. Alternatively, you may choose to receive 5% of the revenue generated from future monetized video views—a potentially lucrative path, considering the success of similar projects like PMJ, which has garnered millions of views and substantial revenue. For instance, with an estimated 110 million views, PMJ generated around $800,000, translating to a possible windfall of $40,000 for select vocalists involved.

One of the best parts of being part of our troupe is the flexibility required—there's no strict commitment beyond the initial recording, which can take as little as a couple of hours. This setup is perfectly suited for professionals who juggle multiple engagements, allowing participants to contribute as their schedules permit. Even if the endeavor doesn't turn into a massive success, you'll walk away with a top-quality audio/video showcase of your talent after just a few hours of fun and collaboration. We’re dedicated to maintaining a stress-free and relaxed environment throughout the process, where creativity can flourish without pressure.

Ultimately, the attitude and mindset of participants are vital to the success of our project. While technical skill is important, a positive, collaborative spirit far outweighs mere pitch perfection. If you tend toward negativity or carry a diva-like personality, it may be in your best interest to pursue other avenues. We seek a team who embodies a friendly, open-minded approach to music-making—one that celebrates creativity, community, and the joy of art. So, if you’re ready to dive into this exciting opportunity, grab your instruments and warm up those vocal cords—we can’t wait to hear what you’ve got!
