Whaley brings a wealth of knowledge, and vast resources from the entertainment community, and is integrating the Urban entertainment market in the Virtual Space. Artists will be able to sell virtual CDs to a global audience of virtual visitors. No longer do they have to be limited to appearing in front of a live physical audience, but can appear at the same time for a virtual worldwide audience and sell to an ever growing database. Whaley remarks, "We are ecstatic about the opportunities that were presented at the 2008 Virtual Worlds Conference, be in the forefront of new technology, and having the ability to open the virtual mind up to a whole new audience that includes some of the greatest artistic minds in music today.”
