MORE than 200 Bahamians turned up for the casting call for the first ever Music, Model and Talent Showcase of the Islands (MMTS) last Saturday.

Mario’s Bowling Palace was packed with aspiring models, musicians and other artists all vying for a spot in the competition.

Organisers from the PTG Marketing and Modelling Agency said the casting call was absolutely “epic” and they cannot wait to hit Grand Bahama before heading out to the rest of the Caribbean.

The talent scouting events are designed specifically to bring global attention to the vast talent pool in the Bahamas and the region, and are a prelude to the inaugural week-long MMTS conference scheduled for July 13-19, 2015, at the Meli� Nassau Beach Resort.

The event is already creating buzz in the ears of top international fashion and talent scouts, personal managers, casting directors, booking agents, record labels, modelling and talent agencies, as well as with Grammy Award-winning producers and songwriters, who will judge MMTS competitions and conduct seminars, all the while searching for new and unique talents in these respective areas.
Additionally, agents from US, Europe, South Africa, China and Canada will spend a week in the Bahamas scouting for new talent from the participating Caribbean islands, offering contracts and representation opportunities.
