It marks the beginning of a new era for CSM, a human-sized yet international entertainment-specialized company, which I've chosen to grow beyond UAE boundaries. I have focused uniquely on the Middle East in the past 10 years, which has positioned CSM to build a credible and reputable name ; it's now time to take it to another level. We've always taken pride in producing top-quality events which is why in order to develop my company in a professional manner (to equal its standards), we will to focus on our international projects and artist management, until further notice".
Steps taken toward company growth
Center Stage Management's ambition to expand globally started in 2008, by organizing the Urban Desert tour with Akon, Fat Joe and Black Violin at the end of the first quarter in South Africa. 7 months later, the American subsidiary based in Los Angeles opened as Scorpio International Inc., engaged in numerous and various projects such as reality TV shows, theatrical movies and music production.
