Bios make me uncomfortable. Part truth, part hype, many are just too long. I will try to be interesting and concise with mine.
Born and raised in L.A.'s Entertainment Industry center, I moved to Seattle in 1993. My sole purpose in life that year was to open an urban music management company with business partner and friend, Rob Williams (Williams Media Design L.A.). Prior to this risk, I was in financial sales and marketing with Rob at Visa International.
Once established in Seattle, I got sidetracked and ended up opening a record label with the Wilcher Brothers and MC Silver Shadow D. We called it Lost And Found Recordings. From there, I met the legendary DJ Nasty Nes (Sir Mix A Lot - NastyMix Records) and this is where my 25 years of marketing, promotion and sales expertise came into real use nationaly.
After 1 year of work at Nes' street/viral music marketing company, Crazy Pinoy Promotions, I became full partner. This was 1997. I initiated some small changes, incorporating mainstream companies in our mix of clients. It was, and is, my firm belief that methods of music promotion apply to any product, service, launch, industry. ANY.
Concurrent with all the above I opened Dexter Limousines, Inc. and Gene Dexter Homes (a RE/MAX entity), and was VP of global marketing at Seattle startup label Noc On Wood Records.
In 2009, it was time to incorporate everything I learned from the Seattle experience and focus on two new initiatives. Gene Dex Public Relations and The Gene Dexter Show. I could tell you more about what I'm doing, such as support and mentorship on behalf of media darling Miss Casey Carter or my latest effort - Ba Bar Seattle , and much, much else, but I want to focus on you and YOUR needs today.
My company motto is - If My Neighbor Hasn't Heard Of You - We Have Work To Do.
If this applies to your business, project, launch, or campaign plans, we should meet. I can assure you there are applications and programs that are three years ahead of anything most mainstream companies are doing.
Thank you for viewing.
