THEONE'S STORY
Since becoming a Your Game All Star in 2008 Theone Coleman has gone from strength to strength. This week see's the launch of his new venture, Infinite Possibility Recording Studios. Alongside business partner Jonny Neesom, the aim is to offer quality studio time based in Bournemouth at manageable, affordable and realistic rates.

Both Theone and Jonny have extensive experience in recording and performing and know first hand just how hard and expensive it can be to get studio time. This is how the idea for the business came about.
"The Prince's Trust funding enabled me to secure funding to help us launch the business, additional funding was done our end by fund raising such as CD sales and various events etc.
"Initially Your Game helped me to come up with the idea, then the Prince's Trust helped with the funding and Your Game continues to help with the ongoing support and mentoring.
"Our main aims are to help promote artists as a record label would do without taking a disproportionate amount of money, basically giving artists a fair chance at making it with their music. We also run music events which will help out the cause with musicians getting big gigs to help boost their music to a wider audience. Finally we want to set up an academy for young people to learn how to produce their own music.
"Because of the contacts I have been able to make with the help and opportunities provided to me by Your Game, we are confident that we can give the necessary support to up and coming artists."
As if launching a website and record label wasn't enough Theone is also hosting Bourne 2 Stand Out an event at Boscombe Chine Gardens Sunday 20th September 2009 11-4pm.
Infinite Possibility Recording Studios presents the event, in conjunction with Bournemouth Council, that's aiming to bring the community together and provide a good family day out.
