2008
alright, here we go... I'm actually going to take the time out to try and describe myself with as little details as possible... don't want to give myself away RIGHT-AWAY since most people can't figure me out and those who try only frustrate themselves. I love to relax, chill, and get away when I get a chance to slip away from my busy schedule. I usually plan ahead but once in a while I like to be spontaneous. I always trust my gut feeling and If I like your vibe you're more likely to stick around. I have a hand-full of friends and too many acquaintances to mention... I believe I'm down to earth and I have a real 'chill' personality. love to smile, love to laugh, love to live. I do what I love and I love what I do plain and simple. I'm a graphic designer with a focus in Branding, Started up PIOR BRANDING GROUP with my partner and good friend Sarah Yoo who is amazing at what she does! I'm also an event coordinator at a marketing company (Privileged Marketing Group) in which we create unique experiences through events and targeted campaigns. These are the things which get me going in the morning, noon and night. I hope everyone builds the strength and courage to leave anything that doesn't bring joy to their life and pick up something that does. A paycheck isn't enough to keep you doing something you dread (not me atleast), with some creative thinking you could pick up something you love to do and find a way to get a paycheck out of it... but hey maybe that's just me. I'd be interested in your thoughts and what you enjoy doing, don't be shy and shoot me a message... I love to network and meet new people. If you wanna know more, you know how to reach me... till then...
*2009 UPDATE*
So since 2009 rolled around a lot of things have changed, for the better of course. I went from being single to "in a relationship", the best upgrade i could ask for ;-) Then went from "sub-promoting" to "partnering" to Managing Saturday nights at NYC's own Talay (La Viva!). My design company Pior Branding is still under construction but I deem to put more time into it in these coming months. Never the less the demand for design has not decreased for me, it has actually jumped and I'm caught in the midst of trying to balance my "Life". So far so good i say, I'm happy all around. Things are looking up, my family and friends are healthy and extremely loving and supporting AND so is my very special girl; who also keeps me sane and focused. I do want to do more networking and traveling... let's see where things go from here... till then...

CHECK OUT MY BIO FROM MY FORMER RED ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY...
As the newest agent joining the staff of Red Entertainment, Eugene Abreu is in the right place at the right time. A recent graduate of New York’s prestigious Syracuse University, Eugene received his Bachelor of Arts in Information Management and Technology. Aside from his technology skills, Eugene like his older brother Carlos Keyes (President of Red) has music in his DNA, and has been steeped in it since he was a child. Producing original tracks at the age of twelve, Eugene was recording, writing and mixing his musical ideas right through college.
“In College,†he says, “I had the opportunity to become a recording engineer at a nearby studio. When my schedule was clear or a session would cancel I would work on my own music. This lasted for three years until I was a junior.†He goes on, “By then I had performed at numerous SU events and had opened for stars like Fabulous and Lil’ Kim, with a group we had founded called VIP.†In addition to his studies and performing, Eugene ever the entrepreneur was branching out into hosting parties under the moniker VIP Entertainment. Spurred on by success VIP eventually evolved into an even bigger project for Eugene.
Organizing a group of twenty students he formed Top Notch Crew, which became the “go to†company for all things party at Syracuse. “We were going strong for almost a year until I graduated. I can honestly say I left my mark on the SU party scene and the Top Notch Crew is still talked about that’s for sure,†he laughs, After graduation Eugene contemplating his future knew he wanted to stay in the music business in some capacity. “I’d been an artist, an engineer, promoter, producer and founded two successful graphic design companies on the side.†He goes on, “this time I wanted to work on the business end of things, so I thought being an agent would be the perfect way to combine all my skills, not to mention being mentored by my big brother Carlos in the family business of Red Entertainment.â€
As an agent Eugene covers the Northeast territories at Red, and works the whole roster but in particular, R& B charting sensation Sunshine Anderson and Capital records hip hop star MIMS. Eugene is once again proving himself an entertainment dynamo. “I’ve been selling myself successfully since I could remember now I’m doing the same thing for Red artists.†And Carlos Keyes, President of Red couldn’t agree more. “It’s fantastic to have Eugene here, he’s a real asset with proven capabilities in the business, Eugene can do it all and he’ll have that chance here at Red.
