Superstars are not born or discovered; they are created, by working hard and being well financed, for many years. Commercial success in any aspect of the arts is
a basic equation; talent+disciplined focus+persistence+money (investment)=success/stardom. With an increasing number of artists operating as independent, entertainment companies/entrepreneurs, there is a virtual gold mine of highly competitive investment/profit sharing opportunities in the contemporary pool of independent, creative professionals. Art of Pop is an opportunity for angel investors who are interested in advancing and sharing the profits of such entrepreneurs.


The Company


Art of Pop (AoP) is a conventional and new media entertainment entity, rooted in the sole proprietorship of de Cygne and DarkMother.com LLC. It's inventory is generated by the creative output of the founder,
(self-contained, electronica singer/songwriter and recording artist,) Michaele Alyras de Cygne; thus, effectively, AoP is both an artist and a label/brand, an Artist/Label. Art of Pop's inventory is sold directly to consumers as well as globally distributed in collaboration with other labels and companies, through licensing, profit sharing and M&D relationships.

AoP's mission is to be the world's most successful, private, artist-driven entertainment media company, (in order to fund a charitable vision; financing a family based orphanage, similar to the philanthropic role of Hershey's (Candy), over the course of 7 generations.)


The Company Structure

AoP is fundamentally structured like a typical record label, with an "artist roster" of four "
Profiles"; Alyras, Iluvamil, de Cygne and Dark Mother. Together, they enable the company to supply content to Pop, Dance, Jazz and Inspirational music and cognitive enhancement media providers, distributors and consumers in North and South American, European, African, Asian and Australian markets.

Alyras is the company's primary commercial entity. Alyras's creative focus is International Pop.

Iluvamil is AoP's most enchanting profile. Its creative focus is Dance, exclusively with a positive, spiritual message and in Quenya, the High Language of the Elves from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" series.  ['Iluvamil" means "Mother of All" or "Goddess."]

Although it's third in the company's roster, de Cygne is the powerhouse of the organization, out of which come AoP's overall vision and all its inventory. As an AoP music profile, de Cygne's specific creative focus is jazz vocalise (wordless), in particular Bossa Nova.

DarkMother.com, (the company's Dark Mother profile), provides tools for direct, perfectly balanced, enduring cognitive and consciousness enhancement. Creatively, DarkMother.com's focus is cognitive and consciousness enhancement software based in the Tzolkin, (the Mayan Sacred Calendar) and palliative chant.
Currently, the company is unfolding the Elvëa SGSSM and Elvëa CESSM series of Tzolkin-based audiovisual modules. Elvëa SGSSM is designed to effect dynamic synaptic generation, marketed for all persons who seek to enhance their brain and neurological function, with focus on persons recovering from brain trauma, stroke and other conditions benefitted by highly mentally stimulating activity. Elvëa CESSM is designed to dynamically affect focused consciousness enhancement, regardless of the individual's spiritual orientation. Fiscally, Dark Mother [DarkMother.com LLC] also serves both as the company's avenue for investors to directly participate in and be enriched by the company.

Combined as Art of Pop, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. AoP is organized to be a world class brand relative to music, media, stage and merchandising, throughout the universe. Currently in its start-up phase, the company has just completed its foundational and product development stages. Having successfully implemented a solid foundation through small, albeit competitive beginnings, the company is now ready to focus on seriously advancing it's purpose. To do so, it requires a powerful team; that team requires funding, hence investment.


The Investment

The company is seeking $2,900,000 (or
) to fund its Growth Phase for fiscal years 2010-2012; $720K/FY2010, $940K/FY2011, $1.24M/FY2012.  Through its DPO, (presented by its Dark Mother division), you may invest in Art of Pop by purchasing mid-term Corporate BondsBonds will be issued for each fiscal year, according to the budgets for those years.  Please review the DPO for more understanding of our bond offer.


The Return

Through its
mid-term Corporate Bonds, your principal investment will be fully recouped in 7 years, plus 9% effective annual interest. As an incentive, we are offering angel investors who fund a specific fiscal year an additional 6% of the company's profits for the duration of the bond terms relative to that year. Investors who fully fund our entire Growth Phase (FY2010-FY2012) will receive an additional 24% of the company's profits for the duration of of the bond terms, (which is, effectively, 9 years.)


Note: Art of Pop does not participate in any investment relationships requiring it to pay advance fees for such investments.


International Investors: Invest in Art of Pop and Obtain Permanent U.S. Residency (Green Card)!

Through its EB-5 program, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service will extend a U.S Green Card to every international investor who will invest at least $500,000.00 in Art of Pop. The program "was designed to encourage foreign investors to create jobs by starting a new business or preserve jobs by investing in money-losing businesses. If they agree to invest $1 million, foreigners can get a visa, apply for green cards, and become conditional permanent residents. After two years, provided they've made good on their promise to invest, created 10 jobs (family members don't count), and the business is still an ongoing concern, they can apply to have those conditions removed. And after five years with a green card, holders can apply for citizenship." (1)

Art of Pop is inviting qualified international investors to be enriched (via the company's financial return and the U.S. government's EB-5 benefit) by investing $1M in the company to enable it to create 10 jobs in the next two years and to build AoP into an highly successful global enterprise.


All We Need is a Seed

Art of Pop is the manifestation of the President's vision, a dream conjoined to good planning and relentless hard work; although still in its startup phase, as of Dec. '09, it's off the drawing board and in the marketplace. During 2010, planting venture seed into Art of Pop will enable the company to:
  • establish multiple product lines in all of the leading digital music distribution outlets,
  • secure consultant services that will globally promote and advance Art of Pop, as a brand, and each of its profiles as separate entities to an highly competitive degree of visibility,
  • help facilitate the initial staging of Art of Pop as a touring entity and
  • elevate the company so it is appealing to larger investors.
Planted in AoP, seed funding will surely grow; it will enable the company to accomplish each of these goals and to yield above average harvest in a year's time.  Your investment will enable every aspect of the company to grow to a remarkable degree.  Bottom line, you'll get your promised return from the bonds, the principal upon their maturity, plus a sizable harvest from your seed, benefitting you and many others.

Art of Pop is not just a dream, it's the manifestation of a dream conjoined to relentless hard work.  Those who work the soil need seed for the soil to bear fruit.  Become a part of the AoP team, seed investing to help progress this manifestation to its ultimate success, global superstardom, and yield abundantly fruitful profits thereof with Art of Pop.



Let's make it happen!
