About Me
I'm the original Mr. "Make It Happen" Co-CEO of A-List Mgt. LLC. Along with my partners Chris "Nik Numbers" Brown(Warner Bros. Records A&R Talent Scout)and Jim "Norf" we're on the verge of demolishing the old school models, practices, and ideas of how the business of entertainment management is done. Simply put we're the "New Breed"!
Our philosophy is clear "Build Your Brand, Build Your Bread". In this day of "celebrity rules everything around us!", individual stars are mega-corporations within themselves. With this in mind we seek out exceptionally talented "Boss" minded personalities that we can guide and assist in establishing, managing and expanding their careers into successful global "brands". While still giving our clients the personalized "superstar" representation that they deserve!
Talents such as rapper and hip-hoptrenuer Reese Gees, whose "Criminal City" record label and movement brand is killing the streets of Philadelphia, PA, and Texas, internet radio and mixtapes this very second. With his distinctive powerful voice, "Life Talk" lyrics, and aggressive flow Reese is leading Criminal City Records to emerge as the next mega movement not just out of Philly or the East Coast but the entire game. Download a free copy of his INTERNET EXCLUSIVE street album "DEAD PRESIDENTS" @ myspace.com/reesegees or pick up A-List Presents DJ DNA's New Breed mixtape. Listen out on your radio and request for the smash single "Ride Out" produced by Philly super producer "Faust" (Young Wun's "Tear It Up" f/ DMX, Lil' Flip, and Dave Banner; Cassidy's "the Pump"). The Criminal City MOVEMENT isn't soley about Reese Geese. Co-CEO D-Spic and ultra spitters extrordinaire Twist Da God, B-Major, and Nick Nolte round off the Criminal City roster.

Our client list is diverse with mega talents like the multi game breaking actress, model,author, movie producer Regan Wald. Regan started out storming the fashion industry as a model with print campaigns and runway gigs with companies such as Levis, 555 Soul, and several couture boutique houses. Regan parlayed modeling success into acting, receiving roles in HBO's "Sex in the City" and Will Smith's "Hitch". Regan through her "Drive Dream" publishing company is self-publishing and distributing her highly acclaimed urban epic novel "Ghalantic". Ghalantic will hit stores and websites around the world winter '07. "Can't stop, won't stop" as Diddy says, Regan Wald's "All Cried Out Productions" brand is producing her feature film "Gavin and Reka". The industry buzz on "Gavin and Reka", from L.A. to Atlanta to N.Y. is that it's the next classic love story film. In the mold of the "Note book", "Love Jones", "A Love Story", "Romeo and Juliet", "Love and Basketball", the film "Gavin and Reka" expresses the passions, exuberance, jubilation, and pain of young love. The film is still in pre-production and people are saying, "watch out Sundance!". Please reach out to Regan @ myspace.com/ghlantic
At A-List Mgt. we believe in producers. From music producers to movie producers to image producers. Production is our game. Production brands like "1050 EasT Music" which is comprised of the production tandem "Blizz" and Will Brock. These cats have worked with artist like Floetry, Glenn Lewis, Eric Benet, Regina, Digable Planets just to name a few. Their innovative and distinct brand of R&B/Soul/Hip-Hop tracks have them on the list of producers to watch.
Likewise Derrick "db" Berry of Sauce Productions and Berreduar Productions who had the hit dance record "Running Away" heating up European clubs and radio as well several dance compilations. "db" has now expanded his production to his own independent record label "Saucy Entertainment". Saucy Entertainment is a multi-genre global music brand. db's Saucy brand is music from rap to rock, r&b to dance, Latin and everything in between. Watch out for Saucy's first Latin compilation in production now. Holla @ db, myspace.com/saucyrecords.
Hip-Hop production is running music right now. We have the next monster producer in the game. A trendsetter, Faust of "Faust Beats" productions. Faust has a sound so authentic it's undeniable. Faust's first big hit was Young Wun's "Tear it up" F./ DMX, Lil' Flip, and David Banner. The song reached ..47 on the Billboard Hot 100. The marching band drum role on that beat started a trend in production that can still be heard in hip-hop today. The Faust Beats brand is definately on the rise. From doing monster smashes like Cassidy's "The Pump" to Reese Gees "Ride Out" it's a brand on the rise.
To match the talent of our producers we represent world renown multi-platinum songwriter Wil Guice. Wil is the lyrical architect of Usher's "BAD GIRL", Sterling's "Available", amongst a string of hits. Watch out for Wil's debut album. Peep in on Wil @ myspace.com/wilguice.
A-List mgt. holds the long term career success and profitability of our clients brands as our main priority or "The Goal". To that extent our motto is "Make It Happen". No excuses, just "Make It Happen"!
Although management is our initial business, the A-List brand extends into various fields and businesses. From television and film production to A&R consultation to magazine publishing, and much more.
We just dropped the A-List and Wildchild DNA Presents the "New Breed" mixtape. The New Breed is a sub- brand in itself. The concept behind the New Breed is to introduce the world to the hottest hip-hop artist in the game known for the most part in their respective hoods, citys, markets or regions. Who was Cassidy two years ago? Who was Young Jeezy a year ago? Who was Papoose six months ago? Who was Rick Ross 3 months ago? Who is Reese Gees, Maino, 40 the Great, and Tight Man today? Our mission is to introduce you to the truly great artist like the ones mentioned above first. We're gonna give you the inside track on the hot new artists around the country in all regions before they blow. The sophmore project New Breed Philly Edition is dropping winter '07. The New Breed mixtape series is the setup to the DVD series which is the setup for the nationally distributed compilation which is the set up for New Breed magazine.
