The ULMII Entertainment Conference is known for its talent. Scouts from different areas of the entertainment industry attend the conference looking for talent. As a result, it has accumulated many success stories, such as Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Miguel was signed by a ULMII panelist at the Los Angeles conference; songwriters/producers The Featherstone’s original song performed at ULMII was heard by SisQo (Dru Hill) and placed on Dru Hill’s third album as the first single “I Should Be Your Boyfriend.” The single went platinum; Starz Network’s Naturi Naughton was scouted by Broadway at the Baltimore ULMII event and that lead to her joining the R&B group 3LW, and then starring in the drama “Power”, and Disney’s RoShon Fegan’s manager used the information learned at the Los Angeles ULMII conference to take Roshon to the next level which resulted in Roshon starring in two Disney series and then performing on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”
