About this project
Who am I?
I'm guessing you just saw my video above... Hopefully you like the song. I am a recording artist named RIZ and I am set to begin my nationwide tour this fall. Here are a few pics of me with some of my industry acquaintances. Here is a link to the full video for my new single SHE LOVES ME.
What's the big idea?
It's pretty simple… I am looking to raise $65,000 for my nationwide tour by giving backers the opportunity to wrap my 45 foot long tour bus with images of their face or anything of their choice! With a backing of $100 or more, you can have your face on a square foot of space on my tour bus and you have the freedom to design your space however you'd like. Backers at the $3000 and above level can request the tour bus to stop in their city or at their location or home specifically for added cool points provided it's along the tour route… Now that's an iRIZistible offer you'd be crazy to pass up! Here are some industry stats for the amount of exposure your face or image would be getting.
So what?
Well… Interested in promoting the launch of your company/website? Want an interesting way to get the word out on your product/service? Want to put your face, your moms face or even your dogs on a bus? Anything goes! (See Restrictions) With a backing of $250 and above, you can get any number of spot(s) on either side of my bus and even combine contiguous spots to make a larger spot.
Then what?
ONCE ALL THE SPOTS ARE TAKEN, THAT'S IT… I'LL WRAP THE BUS WITH THE RESULTING COMPOSITE IMAGE AND HIT THE ROAD! This will be the first tour initiative of its kind, fan-fueled and fully funded by the advertising potential of its backers. The greater your exposure, the greater my success as an artist! Never before has such a one-to-one correspondence been promised. Industry stats estimate that a vehicle wrap such as this would generate as much as 70,000 impressions daily. In addition to helping spread good music, here's what you receive amongst other things:
- Your face/image in the exact spot you choose on the WrapMyTourBus.com bus graphic with a link to where ever you want it to point,
- Daily Posts on the Blog thanking every new backer, Twitter & Facebook,
- Video on YouTube, Vimeo & live videos on Ustream of me thanking you and promoting anything you want (no offensive),
- And of course, your life-sized face on the side of my tour bus, accompanying me on my nationwide tour for the entire country to see; online and offline.
- I intend to have a 24-hour live video feed on Ustream from inside my tour bus coupled with a GPS tracking application from Loopt so that backers, can see and track my progress throughout the tour. Ustream is already on board. Also If you have any interesting or even crazy idea to add to all this, please drop me a line at email me for more details.
I have a Question!
If you have something fun and interesting to send me, feel free to pop it in the mail. You can email me to get my mailing address. Furthermore, my tour schedule is posted below. So if you are interested in coming to one of my shows, please email me and we can make that happen. Imagine this as a mobile photo album of all my supporters that will be seen by virtually millions of people online and millions more around the country. This unique photo-collage-wrapped-tour-bus will quickly become a must see attraction in every city we visit on the tour.
Anything else I should know?
I will be donating a portion of the funding to my charity. As a singer/songwriter with a deep passion for music, I have chosen to build my fan base the old fashioned way, one fan at a time by touring. I also have an equally deep passion for marketing…whenever I can bring that together with music, its magic. If you have more questions, please feel free to e-mail me at Contact@WrapMyTourBus.com.
You can check out my music on iTunes and Amazon. Hopefully you too will become a fan and a more importantly, a backer.
If you would like to send me materials with your logo on it like t-shirts,
towels, etc, please do so and I will give them out to audience members
at the show, please Contact Me!

Project By
Connected as Riz Nwosu
Check out RIZ's new SUMMER SMASH, "She Loves Me"! This is his second radio release, following 'Rock The Bed', which was produced by Akon!
RIZ is an upcoming, unique singer and songwriter; exploding on the scene to establish a fresh view and singularity in the music industry. With his Afro-European brand of surgically precise lyrics, RIZ is soon to be hailed as an unexpected but welcomed break to the industry norm. His vocal style is reminiscent of a young Mark Morrison seamlessly blended with an Akon/Ne-Yo hybrid.
Born in Africa, RIZ moved to The Netherlands with his family at age 11. World traveled and fluent in five languages, RIZ has striven to achieve the pinnacle of everything he embarks on. He would soon join together with music producer extraordinaire and former Capitol Records A&R, Roy (Royalty) Hamilton; writer & producer of Joe's 'Stutter', Britney Spears' 'I Got That Boom Boom', and numerous smash hits for R. Kelly, K-Ci & Jojo, 'N Sync & Michael Jackson. Together they collaborated on what was sure to be one of RIZ's best songs to date: 'Sexy Mama', featuring platinum rapper Lil' Zane.
Soon after, RIZ caught the ears of Akon, who was mesmerized by his creative melodies and immediately asked him to join the Konvict songwriting family. Riz began writing on upcoming projects for major recording artists like Britney, Sean Kingston, Leona Lewis, Akon, Toni Braxton, etc, and in the process, met with famed artist manager and industry veteran Jimmy Rosemond (Czar Entertainment), who took interest in his work as well.
Through the years, RIZ has seen himself grow and flourish as a singer, songwriter, dancer, entertainer and individual. Drawing inspiration from the past and present- from musical greats Bob Marley, Luther Vandross, Marvin Gaye & Michael Jackson to modern chart-toppers Usher, R. Kelly & Sean Paul- RIZ brings sound and substance to the title 'Prince of R&B'.
RIZ continues to further his independent aspirations, gaining attention from major record labels. Now, entering 2010, he awaits the one thing that stands between him and his fans: Destiny.
