R&B Sensation Ray J Teams Up With Poetry Nightclub

Hottest Club in Vegas Even Sexier with New Partnership

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Poetry Nightclub announced today that R&B artist Ray J has become a partner in the company. Ray J will work closely with other partners to enhance and elevate the entertainment and talent that come through the club.

With over a million albums sold, coveted roles on hit sitcoms, and his own entertainment company and record label, Knockout Entertainment, Ray J is a contemporary renaissance man, one of today's hottest entertainers, and a Hollywood ladies' man.

Mike Goodwin, managing partner and Branden Powers, partner and director of marketing, believe Ray J is perfect for Poetry Nightclub.

"A combination of things worked out real well for both of us: image, music, family ties," said Mike Goodwin, Managing Partner.

Branden Powers, partner in Poetry Nightclub, said, "Ray's involvement is a match made in nightclub heaven. He reflects what Poetry is as a brand: upscale, classy and, most of all, sexy."

Tomorrow, Saturday January 17, 2009, Ray J will celebrate his birthday by hosting an exclusive soiree at Poetry. Not only is this a birthday party, but a party welcoming Ray J as a partner in the club. In early February Ray J will host a launch party at Poetry for his new VH1 reality dating series, For the Love of Ray. 14 Ladies will be competing for his heart to become his "ride-or-die chick." The show premieres February 2, 2009.
