I'm super super super late with this post but...
Once again big ups and much love to Smiley DaBoss Dalton for a phenomenal event - a night that we will definitely never forget. Thank you for showing love and shining light on our community β you definitely did your big one with this one! π
If I had to be truthfully honest, I don't even fully remember how I ended up in the promotion industry. I think I threw a random event over 20 years ago, and it popped off, so I just kept popping off too. But trust and believe when I say that putting these events together and promoting them is not for the weak. This is a complete headache and will have you flashing out before you know it.
The constant phone calls, searching for venues, entertainment, marketing materials, creative themes β it literally never stops. I go into full panic mode as every new event approaches, but it's truly a butterflies-in-my-stomach experience to watch it all come to life just as I envisioned. π¦β¨
To every party goer, every traveler, every client, every supporter, and the non-supporters too β thank you for pushing me forward.

To my awesome business partner, Shawn Scott Shawn Wouldyoumind Scott, thank you for the opportunity to collaborate. We started from the bottom, and look at us now β it's only up from here! π
To my Baggz N Baddiez Entertainment sweethearts β GoDJ DPayne Daniiee Payne, DJ TKO Teagra S Clifton, and MC Long Hair Don't Care Shanita Marshall β y'all really don't even understand how grateful I am to have been blessed with y'all. Literally a perfect dream that came true. I love each and every one of you so very much. Thank y'all for riding with me always. π§πΆ
To be nominated and chosen as both Business Owner of the Year & Promoter of the year fills my heart with immense gratitude towards each person who nominated and voted for me. Your recognition is a profound honor, and I am deeply touched by your support.
Lastly, to my wife Candice King Kelly - Thank you for always encouraging me and motivating me. Thank you for always holding me up and never letting me fall. I know you haven't been there since the very beginning, but ever since you jumped on this crazy ride with me, you have been my everything through the good, the bad, and the ugly. Your efforts don't go unseen, and I love you so very much for every little and big thing that you do in my life. It's the Nook and Rudy Show 'til the wheels fall off! β€οΈπ’
Thank you again, everyone! ππ
