Little help!

Hi!
Well im going to introduce myself first and then get to the point.
My name is Jonathan Woltke, I am a promoter in the Dominican Republic. I've worked for clubs like "LED" which was
the best club in the whole country and now I work for "Gotik", #1 at the moment. I've also worked on
gigs with Poto Entertainment.Together we made successful events filled out with up to 13,000 people. We worked with Fedde le Grand,Afrojack,Hardwell,Jamies Zabiela,Steve Bug,David Tort,Milk and Sugar and others.

I am planning on visiting the United States on January with two local talents,Luis Cunillera and Allen Cruz.Both with releases on every single online music store and with massive talent and potential producing and mixing.The purpose of this visit is to seek promotion with the intention of making a local tour through different clubs around the US to get more recognition in the music scene.

I am looking for promoters,club owners to work something out to allow the 2 DJ's to play either a warm up or a closing set or whatever is convenient for both parties. Below is a little something by them:

Luis Cunillera

Not really the place for this, but to be honest, I don't really know what the right place for this would be, so I guess I'll leave it here.

I doubt you'll get many replies though, sorry.

Are you looking for these guys to play in any specific city in the US, or just anywhere? If there's a specific place you're thinking of, I'd probably recommend the local forums. That said, I doubt it's that easy to just land a club gig for 2 guys, when there are likely to be tons of locals all vying for an opportunity to play out.

Just anywhere. Travel,diet and accomodations is going to be on us actually. I understand what you say and its absolutely true! We went to south america for 2 weeks and landed in 3 clubs but the scene is way bigger in the North.

Yeah, no idea then. I'll leave this here, but like I said, don't expect to get many offers.

I'm not American, sorry

There's going to be a lot of nepotism involved - It's not what you know, but who you know. Being involved in the local scene anywhere is obviously going to help, maybe as a promoter or something like that, but it's really not that easy to just go out and get booked if no one knows who you are. Basically, you need to show that you can pull in the $$$, and I'm not sure you're able to do that.
