Spotlight Series: Terrence Brown!

Terrence Brown is a fascinating person I met at the Beige is the New White fashion show on March 27th.  We connected on social media and stayed in touch. I was able to interview Terrence and learn more about him and his story. 


He is a remarkable person! Not to mention inspiring! 

And today I am excited to be able to share his story with you!


It began in a small country town Pelham, NC. "There wasn't a whole lot to do," Terrence explained. Poetry was one of his biggest interests. Which of course now I want to hear his poems! He actually still currently writes poetry, though more as a stress reliever. Terrence also had and interest in model cars and hanging out with friends. 

Growing up wasn't always easy though. In 2003 Terrence was incarcerated in NC state penitentiary for 15 years and 8 months. For some people that might knock them out. But not for Terrence. He used his time there to "acquire and obtain degrees and certifications," he told me. "It was a blessing and a curse," he explained, "it was a punishment but I learned a lot about myself while I was there. How do I grow? How do I not let this affect who I am today?" Terrence used this time as a time of reflection and personal growth. He said it helped build him to who he is today. Now he concentrates on staying grounded and focused.

What has changed his life 'tremendously' as he told me, has been working as COO of Limelight Management and the support and mentorship of Stephanie Cadogan, the CEO of Limelight.  "She put her trust in me, saw my work ethic, and helped me understand the roles within the company." With Limelight, Terrence helps develop artists as well as brand them. Whenever there is an event where an artist is to perform, Terrence makes sure the artist is there, fully equipped, and ready to go. As well as being COO of Limelight, Terrence also has his own similar company, King's Eye Vision. "What I look for in artists is that individuality," he told me, "what lets them be unique within their craft." 

Clearly he must have a good eye! Terrence told me one of his favorite moments was at an event where an artist from Limelight was performing and began to chant 'Limelight! Limelight!' "Everyone in our team -and it was about 15 of us- began jumping and chanting 'Limelight' too. Pretty soon the whole crowd was screaming it! That's when I felt like, 'this is it. They see us!" When they say that when you love what you do, you never work a day, rings true! This is another way this job has changed his life. Helping others develop and grow has also helped him develop and grow!

And while Terrence is very humble and grateful for his work, not everyday is perfect. Like most of us, Terrence also faces tough days sometimes. The thing about Terrence though? He doesn't let it stop him. "My biggest challenge is making sure I reassure myself that 'I've got this.' Some days you feel like giving up. There's that question in the back of your head. That small bit of doubt. But I have to block it out." 

Man! Can I relate to that! I feel that a lot! Hearing him say that, I personally felt validated and understood as well as inspired! Some days are just rough, but you keep going! You can handle it. 

Winding up the interview, I asked what advice he would give other people. Without any hesitation he replied, "stay consistent, stay focused, keep grinding. It will all pay off." Hard to argue with that!

Continue to watch his journey everyone! Things are about to take off and as he put it; "Terrence Brown is about to become a house hold name." ​

Hey all! There is one thing I misspoke on in the post and wanted to clear up. Terrence is COO of Limelight Records along with Limelight Artist Management. They are separate titles but as he puts it “fall under the same umbrella.” He also has his own company, King’s Eye Vison, of which he is CEO.
