I started as a young Haitian American entrepreneur, in Queens New York. It began with simple attempts at running a lemonade stand outside my house, to work as a paper boy, and work shoveling snow for neighbors in my neighborhood. At the time I had no true understanding of the entrepreneurial spirit I possessed, I was just trying to fill my pockets.
During my High School years, I began throwing parties with friends I had grown up with, the same people that gave me the name "JiGz" for my swag and sense of style. These backyard bashments and basement jams started as free ways to get our people together and have a good time.
It wasn't until my Senior year of High School that I rented out a Club, and charged admission to my Graduation Party at a small venue (Creative Flavors, formerly known as Haitian Restaurant Citadel) located on Linden Boulevard in Queens, NY. Seeing the crowds that we attracted with just a few weeks of promotions I knew this was an opportunity to explore. Unfortunately I did not really get to see profits from that night, as the club was so packed, there was structural damage to the walls which I took responsibility for and purchased the materials and repaired the walls myself.
I went on to college and continued throwing events after I had come into contact with various musicians and entertainers at Stony Brook University. We formed an organization on campus, known as the COALITION and organized events from Talent Shows, to Pageants and Concerts. We put together several on campus parties some of which were legal and others that could have jeopardized my college career before I returned to the business of Club Promotions at local venues around my college campus. At this time I also worked with several larger scale promotional companies, promoting their events throughout my extensive college network. I found extreme pleasure in seeing my guests enjoying themselves, and being the go to guy for upcoming events.
This is a small glimpse of the reason I continue down this path as a promoter, striving to provide events that are of the highest quality.
I am currently the CEO of Coalition Entertainment/CeeYo!! Promotions and Marketing. We are a full service promotions and marketing company that utilizes entertainment as the foundation of bringing people together. We host parties, showcases, concerts, and trips.
