1. What’s going on? Please introduce yourself to THE GRYND REPORT and tell us where you’re from.
Whats going on, I’m Showcase. Founder and Director of H3 Entertainment based out of Chicago, Illinois.
2. Nice to meet you Showcase! When & how did you get involved in the music industry?
I first got into the business as a promoter and interning for other music companies throughout the Chicagoland area. Through good and bad experiences, I decided to branch out on my own and provide what I felt was missing for up and coming artists. Coming from being mistreated and mismanaged myself as an artist, I was inspired to make sure my company was never known for those things.
3. With so many independent business owners out here what makes you different & sets you apart?
What sets me a part from other service providers and tastemakers, is just like artists, my goal is to keep progressing through the industry. It’s more than the money I am after, it’s furthering the culture.
4. Tell us something you enjoy doing that most people don’t know.
I love to travel, I have family in Florida, Arizona and Colorado. When I am not in Chicago helping the next wave of up and coming artists, you can catch me in one of those three places relaxing.
5. Currently, what project(s) are you working on or pushing & where can we find it?
I am currently pushing our ‘Chicago Unsigned Hype’ brand which is a music showcase and mixtape series. We will also be presenters at SXSW and A3C this year.
6. What’s been the most memorable moment so far in your career?
I had the chance this past summer to travel up to New York with some of my clients and visit the offices of major record labels: Republic, Cash Money, Atlantic, Roc Nation, and Def Jam.
7. What are your business goals for 2016?
It’s the same goal as every year, to stay consistent and expand. I put the trophies in the trophy case, it’s always about the next win.
8. What’s your definition of GRYND?
My definition of GRYND is a well put together plan that has an attainable end result.
