In this episode, we sit down with Johan Collins, the man who’s been shaping the live music scene in Springfield, Missouri for over 20 years. 🎶 From booking major names like DMX to creating space for up-and-coming artists, Johan breaks down what it really takes to be a concert promoter. He shares how he went from a kid in New Orleans surrounded by hip-hop greatness to recognizing a void in Springfield and building a scene from the ground up—with no social media, no resources, and no blueprint. 🧱

We talk artist development (or the lack of it), the art of promoting, the risks of investing in shows out of pocket, and how the industry has changed with TikTok fame and viral moments. From his early days throwing parties to locking in acts like Big Boogie, 42Dugg, and NLE Choppa, Yohan reflects on wins, losses, and the unforgettable moments that remind him why he keeps doing it. 🖤

Whether you’re an artist, aspiring promoter, or just love music—this episode gives you a front row seat to the hustle behind the scenes. 🔥

We get into the misconceptions surrounding DEI, the importance of voting 🗳️ —especially on the local level—and why so many people feel like their contributions don’t matter. Bali also speaks on balancing activism with mental health, because fighting for change shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being.

This conversation is about more than politics—it’s about the role we all play in shaping the future. 🪴

Whether you’re new to advocacy or deep in the fight, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to stay informed, empowered, and ready to take action. STREAM NOW ‼️
