Cancelling events because of elections will heighten tension – KSM

Actor, satirist and television personality, Kwaku Sintim-Misa, known in showbiz circles as KSM, has argued that it is not advisable for entertainment show organizers to cancel
events scheduled for the last quarter of the year because of the November general elections.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz, Tuesday, KSM said a cancellation of events will only intensify the tension elections come with.
He believes such events have the propensity of neutralizing the tension.

“I think it’s a good opportunity for those of us in
entertainment to let Ghanaians understand that the election is not a state of war so maybe we can even help… But once we start cancelling all events, then we are actually adding to the perception that things are dangerous. So I think
indirectly, we can fuse into that perception by cancelling events…,” he said when asked if he was factoring the elections into his plans for this year’s event.

“I believe that those of us in the entertainment industry can even add to the diffusion of this tension by doing what we have to do… At the end of the day, we have the election and
get over it… I think that most of the fear is coming from perception and we in the entertainment world can help diffuse that perception,” KSM added.
The satirist is noted for organising events on 25th December.

Shamrock Capital AdvisorsRaises $250 Million forEntertainment Deals(EXCLUSIVE)

In a sign of bullishness about the entertainment industry,
private equity firm Shamrock Capital Advisors LLC has
closed its $250 Million Entertainment IP Fund. The fund is focused on acquiring or financing entertainment intellectual property rights across a diverse group of assets that have been through their initial window of release, including films, television programming, music publishing rights, recorded music masters and video games. It’s the first fund of its type for Shamrock, which said the entity is an extension of its long-term strategy of providing buyout and growth capital investments in companies in the media,
entertainment and communications industries.

Shamrock said the fund’s limited partners are a mix of
existing and new investors to Shamrock from pension
funds, endowments, foundations, family offices and financial institutions.
“The launch of EIP reflects an exciting new chapter in our firm’s storied history and capitalizes on our deep roots and connections across the global entertainment industry,” said Shamrock partner Steve Royer in a statement. “Our ability to look across the industry and
apply capital through our multi-fund strategies represents a unique opportunity for Shamrock to partner and transact with numerous industry constituents in
many new and interesting ways.”

EIP is led by Patrick Russo , a co-founder of Salter Group, who joined Shamrock as a partner in late 2014 to pursue this new strategy for the firm. To support the new
fund, Shamrock also hired Jason Sklar (former executive director with JP Morgan’s Entertainment Industries
Group) as a managing director, Andrew Landenberger (formerly with MGM) as a VP and Zoltan Kraus (formerly with Legendary Entertainment) as a senior associate.

“We have assembled a sophisticated team with extensive experience in forecasting, valuing and financing entertainment content,” Russo said. “We believe our
team’s deep industry knowledge and transactional experience, when combined with Shamrock’s platform, legacy and track record of successfully investing in the global media, entertainment and communications industries create a uniquely positioned investment
opportunity for our investors.”

EIP is managed by Shamrock from an office in Los Angeles with approximately $1.8 billion of assets under
management. Shamrock did not use a placement agent for EIP.

Shamrock’s current investments include Consilio, FanDuel, Giant Creative/Strategy, Isolation Network, Mobilitie, Questex, Recorded Books, Screenvision,
Silvergate Media and Wazee Digital.
“Diversifying our investment strategy is a natural expansion of leveraging Shamrock’s history,” Russo told Variety . “We have a great track record of investments.”
Shamrock traces its roots back to 1978, when the predecessor firm was founded as the investment company for the late Roy E. Disney. In 2010, Shamrock’s
private equity activities were formally separated from Shamrock Holdings.
In February, Shamrock Capital Advisors closed Shamrock Capital Growth Fund IV, a $700 million fund focused on providing buyout and growth capital investments in companies within the media, entertainment and communications industries.
It was the fourth such fund raised and managed by Shamrock Capital.

Dancing With the Stars’ Reveals Season 22 Winner

Spoiler warning: Do not read on unless you’ve seen the “Dancing With the Stars” Season 22 finale, which aired May 24 on ABC.

“Dancing With the Stars” unveiled its Season 22 winner on May 24, and it was “America’s Next Top Model” alum Nyle DiMarco who took home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy for 2016. The contestant, who is deaf, was a fan-favorite for much of the show. He and partner Peta Murgatroyd faced off against “Good Morning America” weather anchor Ginger Zee and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy, and UFC figher Paige VanZant and her partner Mark Ballas.

Zee ended up in third place for her Argentine Tango/Foxtrot fusion with Chmerkovskiy, having suffered a pelvic injury during last week’s rehearsals. The duo earned a score of 27/30. VanZant and Ballas earned a 30/30 score for their Jive/Salsa fusion, and seemed like the frontrunners going into the finale having earned the top scores of the night on Monday. But DiMarco and Murgatroyd ultimately pulled off the win with their Cha Cha/Tango fusion, which earned them another perfect 30/30.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba used sign language to praise DiMarco for his final performance, which brought tears to the contestant’s eyes. “Thank you for showing us your beautiful heart when you 

dance,” she signed.

“I owe everything to him, he is just incredible,” Murgatroyd said of her partner after she and DiMarco were crowned the champions.

The finale also featured performances from Pitbull, Fifth Harmony and Aloe Blacc, with Pitbull hinting that he might serve as a judge next season.

MzVee nominated for 2016 BET Awards, Really?

Dancehall artiste, MzVee has been nominated for the 2016
Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards.
MzVee, born Vera Hamenoo-Kpeda, received a nod in the
Best International Act (Africa) category of the awards.
MzVee’s nomination has got many people shocked, bringing
the competence of ghana’s BET reps into question.

According to BET nomination process, “There is a voting
academy made up of about 500 people from the music
industry, media, and bloggers. BET sends out ballots
electronically and voters nominate, in all the different
categories, who they think should be award nominees. These
are collated by a group called “Yangaroo” that works on other
awards shows as well, and they narrow it to the top five
nominees, and send that list back out to the academy to vote
on the winner”.
Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, EL, Efya…… The list of
artistes worthier of BET’s recognition is long. Yet they chose
to go for the least common denominator.
One is left to wonder if the BET award for The International
best African Act should be taken seriously at all.
