Angeles annual is celebrating 23 years of community service as of 2022. Founded in 1999 by Dr. Eunice Moseley, then Promotions
Director at The Baltimore Times and president of Freelance Associates (PRSA), the free entertainment conference offers
an entertainment business panel Q&A Session, a professional talent showcase, and a national talent competition (vocal,
songwriting and dance). In Baltimore the event is normally held in April at Security Square Mall, and in November in Los Angeles
(in 2019 at the Los Angeles Convention Center). Since the pandemic it has been held via Zoom. The Baltimore Times
and Security Square Mall are the partners of the ULMII conference in Baltimore. In 2019 the Baltimore event entered into
a community partnership with the Girl Scouts of Central Maryland and the Boy Scouts of America (Thurgood Marshall District)
to showcase their talented members and education them in the business of entertainment. The ULMII event success stories includes Baltimore competitors the Featherstone Brothers who performed an original song that was heard by 6x Grammy winning
SisQo, there to support group member Jazz (Dru Hill) serving on the ULMII panel. SisQo placed the song on Dru Hill's 3rd album as "I Should Be (Your Boyfriend). The song was thre first single and music video from
teh project and it went platinum. Today the brothers are still riding the wave of success as writers/producers for such high-profile
artists as Chris Brown. Another Baltimore competitor, Naturi Naughton, from nearby New Jersey, was scouted at the event by
a Broadway agent. That Broadway performance led to her joining a popular R&B group 3LW and that experience led to her
starring in the STARZ Netowrk drama series "Power." In Los Angeles competitor Miguel's performance was so impressive
that "ULMII" panelist Jimmy Maynes - then Vice President of Jive Records – signed him to a recording contract.
Today Miguel is a Grammy Award winning singer.songwriter. Another success story in Los Angeles was competition winner RoShon
Fagan. His manager said what he learned from the event's founder Dr. Moseley at "ULMII" helped him take RoShon to
the next level. That level was a co-starring role on Disney's "Shake It Up". That role led to a starring role in
Disney's "Camp Rock," and that experience landed him a starring role on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
Even the "ULMII" panelists have success stories such as iconic Rapper MCLyte,
who once performed during the talent showcase and hooked-up with fellow "ULMII" panelist Mathew Knowles - then manager
of Destiny's Child - to be a featured artist on a Destiny's Child project. "ULMII" panelist Talib Kareem –
then member of the group Imajin at Jive Record – co-wrote/produced the debut single of Solange Knowles via a hook-up
