After a small hit of "Que Tu Quires" from his first Album "Quien es Enemigo" in 2001, we assisted and supported Enemigo complete his second album "Caminando", create a video for the single "Estrella", and sign with Univision Record in 2004.

Asian Artist Concerts (Not for profit organization) Asian Artists & Concerts, Inc. was founded in 2006 to provide the most talented young Asian classic music artists who are in their early stage of their professional careers in the New York metro area. Led by Music Director Maestro Atsushi Yamada, AAC plays important role as a bridge between the success in the academic world and the success in the professional careers. 
ACC presented full Orchestra concerts at the General Assembly of the United Nations, Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, and other public and private venues. 
As a long-term supporter of Maestro Atsushi Yamada, who is the first Japanese conductor at the New York City Opera, ARUMA, Inc. assisted AAC to raise funds from individual and corporate sponsors, grants, and other foundations. Video Music Box / Uncle Ralph (TV Program / VJ) Video Music Box was one of the first TV programs ever to mainly feature hip-hop videos. Created in 1983 by Ralph McDaniels, a.k.a. Uncle Ralph, it was one of the most influential shows to give urban artists mainstream exposure. It aired on the city-owned public-television station WNYC-TV (now WPXN-TV) in New York from 1984 to 1996. In 1996, the program moved to WNYE-TV after WNYC-TV was sold by the City of New York. It has been recorded off-air from WNYC-TV since 1989. The legacy still continues. 
At Aruma, we currently seek for licensing partners for Video Music Box's TV programs and its archive footages which are exclusive to VMB. Fritz Fritz is a writer, producer, and director working in the film/ TV industry for more than ten years. Fritz' extensive background in TV is only overshadowed by his love of music videos where he can combine his creative passion for music and film. His videos have seen rotation on MTV and BET, most notably "Rock Ya Body" by Stagga Lee as well as the new Reggaeton hit "Te Invitan al Party" by LDA feat Zion y Lennox. In all his videos, Fritz incorporates simple narrative with lush visuals, to give each artist a unique and refreshing look. 
Fritz continues to bring the worlds of urban music and film together with "Get Amped!" a genre breaking film project that aims to be the first hip-hop sci-fi feature.Get Amped! is already generating interest from Hollywood notables such as the Weitz Brothers (American Pie, Antz) and the William Morris Agency. His exciting new script "Leatheratti" promises to take the supernatural thriller to the next level. Norman Smitherman
