About Us
CULTURE IS OUR CURRENCY
The 242 Global Firm is Nassau’s premier cultural arbitrage partner. We identify, curate, and position Bahamian artistic talent for elite global markets—because true genius deserves institutional-grade representation.
OUR MANDATE
Valuation We recalibrate pricing models so steelpan virtuosos command Carnegie Hall fees—and are paid what they’re worth.
Access We secure performances at venues that have historically overlooked Caribbean artists—then redefine their booking standards.
Legacy Every contract includes ironclad IP protections, ensuring Bahamian creators profit from their cultural derivatives in perpetuity.

Founders Note:
IRENE CI, Founder & Managing Director:
"After a decade in the Legal and beauty Industry, I realized Bahamian artists were the most undervalued assets in Global Entertainment. This isn’t a talent agency. It’s a cultural equity fund—and our investors are the artists themselves."
