Have you ever wanted to have a song you wrote and recorded reviewed by a record producer like Big Boi?  Well, soon you’ll be able to.  In September, Blazetrak, a service that aims to connect users with previously difficult-to-reach professionals like him, will go live.  Of course, it’s not for free, but the cost of getting in touch with each professional will vary and that fee will be set by the professional.

Where did I find out about this?  Last night, I attended a sneak preview hosted by Blazetrak’s PR firm AMP3PR for “tech influencers” at their office in Manhattan’s Flatiron District neighborhood.  The founders themselves, Corey Stanford, Ron Harrison, and Nate Casey, were on hand for the demo and attendees got a chance to mingle while munching on appetizers and sipping wine provided by the firm.

Also in attendance (and thanks to Greentarget’s Andrew Graham for putting a list together in advance for me to swipe) were Mediapost’s Kelly Samardak, Mashable’s Brett Petersel, AnyClip’s Nate Westheimer, publicist Tiffany Winbush, ArtTalk.tv’s Charlie Oliver, and Branded Evolution’s Dave Ford, The Style Coalition’s Yuli Ziv, Twitter for Dummies’s Michael Gruen, and Martha Stewart Living’s Brenda Dargan. If I missed you, please feel free to let me know here.
