Who is Roxi?

Published by roxibingyi at 2:56 pm under Music Edit This

My name’s Roxi Bingyi. I’m the virtual AV for “MWE” agent Deb Mikesch & founder of the “Second Life Music Association” (SLMA). B4 my avatar was created, Deb spent months learning the logistics of supporting musicians in SL. By reading every book, blog & website available, it was soon time to create me & begin her own SL. Did she learn everything? Hardly, but she did learn 2 important things: Virtual worlds are the future of the internet and the music business in SL is thriving. As former RL president of the Wisconsin Area Music Industry (WAMI) she knew these “in-world” musicians needed support.
So this is where I began. With no money and nowhere to live, I logged in and out of “Welfare Island” & attended “in-world” classes, visited clubs & networked with venue owners, gear companies & talented musicians. Most of all, I danced. 1st thing a noob needs to know is that we dance a lot in SL.
Finally, I earned enough “dancing” to move into an office & form our group. SLMA.is dedicated to the education & support of virtual entertainers of all genres across the grid. We support humans, furries, Goreans & all cultures in SL. As virtual owner of MWE (Midwest Entertainers) booking agency. I book acts, teach them the basics of performing in SL, &  promote their shows with “crossover”  advertising in SL & RL.
Using the technology “machinima” I can also help with music videos & recorded performances for Youtube or your website.. Basically, I do all the work. Deb types. LOL! JK.
Congrats for taking your 1st step into SL. WTG! xoxo ~ Roxi ~
