New US television drama Cane has begun talks with a number of top singers to appear as themselves on the show.
A central nightclub will feature on the show, and producers hope to add a stage to the venue where artists can use it to showcase new songs.
Cane, which has been hailed as the Latino Dallas, follows a Cuban-American family in a rum and sugar business based in Florida.
So far producer Jonathan Prince has spoken to Pussycat Doll star Nicole Scherzinger, Mary J Blige and Daddy Yankee about starring on the show.
Co-executive producer, Jimmy Smits wants to make music an important part. He said: "It's something that we plan to deliver on a weekly basis. And you do see different generations here [in the cast], so the music is going to be reflective of that tapestry of American music."
