ImGiggin.com Opens New Music Biz Networking Portal
The turning points of many music business success stories hinge on “who you know” or “right-place-at-the-right-time” factors. A new website founded right here in NYC, ImGiggin.com, has been launched to spread out the exposure online, in a specialized social networking portal for the entertainment industry.

Founded by Onree Gill and Ralph Rolle — both music directors, professional musicians and producers who’ve worked with Alicia Keys, Elvis Costello, Gwen Stefani, John Mayer, Missy Elliot, D’Angelo and many more — ImGiggin.com was created to address the challenges they saw facing music business newcomers and industry veterans alike.
Says Rolle and Gill, “We wanted to make it easier for entertainment industry professionals to connect with the right people by building a specialized social network where they can showcase their talent, and access the jobs and resources that can help further their careers, so we created ImGiggin.”
ImGiggin.com features “endorsees,” such as Alicia Keys, Ne-Yo, Jordin Sparks, Marcus Miller, New York Voices, Pharoahe Monch and Angelique Kidjo. Exclusive auditioned-and-approved members will include a mix of name-artists and executives as well as industry newcomers, and ImGiggin.com will provide a forum in which to connect talent with “quality jobs all over the world.”
Talent and industry professionals eligible for membership include actors, dancers, musicians, rappers, and singers to composers, producers, musical directors, artistic directors, engineers, stylists, technical crew and other behind-the-scenes staff. Prospective members go through a vigorous membership process that involves audition videos, resumes and bios that will be reviewed by “entertainment industry veterans.”
Prospective members can submit their auditions for the one-time audition fee of $9.99 for a limited time, while the regular audition fee is $19.99. If accepted for membership, there are four membership levels available where a fee will apply.
