About JaKoMa Entertainment:
JaKoMa Entertainment was founded in 1999 by three enthusiastic young men. With an immense love for entertainment, they set out to raise the standards of our local productions and artists so that they could compare or even surpass international talents. In its first year, JaKoMa made an impact on the fashion industry, which has earned them a reputation for being the most dominating fashion company in Bermuda.
In the following years JaKoMa began to make its mark in the music industry. This venture opened up the opportunity for Bermuda’s most talented youth to compete in the annual J2k Vocal Competition, which is sponsored by Colonial Insurance Group, one of the island's leading insurance companies. JaKoMa Entertainment is now preparing to embark on its other areas of expertise, which include the development of artists and talents who are involved in theater, arts, and sports. JaKoMa Entertainment - Bermuda Fashion, Models, Agency’s primary goal is to develop Bermuda’s artists and showcase their talent to the ..........
community. It is with this in mind that JaKoMa have put together workshops and grooming sessions to better mold Bermuda’s talent. The Company’s long-term achievements, at best, will bring international talent scouts to the Island regularly looking for the world’s next "GREATEST". Our aim is to be recognized amongst the island as the most comprehensive and vivacious entertainment company that scouts, develops and showcases the largest number of local talent.
