Thanks for popping in. Today, in The Hot Seat,LaSuria Kandi Allman has Jimmy Beanz PR with Wu-Tang Management/Protect Ya Neck Records.
Jimmy Green was born in Nuremburg, Germany. He moved to the states early in his life and has lived in a few states. That has helped forge his ear for the unique sounds of artists he has run across his time dealing with the music industry. Jimmy was a recording artist himself but wanted to go behind the scenes.In 2011 Jimmy helped found and became manager for the Virginia Grind Family a few artist from VA which began to make a name for itself.
Working side by side with Frank (Nitty) Newman (PYN/Wu-Tang Management) helping artists secure digital distribution and also working as an A&R for Mr.Newman. Jimmy has also helped underground artists get the recognition that they need to get their music or products out to the masses by doing promo on social media or even securing radio interviews for artists and also landing them magazine cover.
With 3 years of Marketing and Promotions for VGF and also A&R work for Frank Newman Jimmy has showed his hard work ethic which has landed him the Executive Director position for Loud TV which his partner Carlos Rosario created to help unsigned artists get the exposure that they need to be breakout artists. In early 2014, Jimmy was able to land a position with Grind2Glory/Creative Minds/Universal Music Group Distribution.
Late 2014, Jimmy Green has been appointed as the Virginia Ambassador for the Million Youth March Organization Inc, a grassroots organization to promote youth by creating opportunities and giving them access to all the tools needed to help them reach their goals in sports, education, performing arts and volunteerism.
Jimmy is also former executive A&R/president of talent records. Now back where it all started with PYN as an A&R everything comes full circle and Jimmy was recently promoted to the position of Director of Public Relations.
