Bryant Morrisey grew up in North Carolina and served 6.5 years in the US Army, which inspired him to start his own event management company called Strong Arm E.N.T. He is now pursuing a music business degree at Full Sail University to help launch an independent record label to support artists. His goals are to obtain an entry-level position in event coordination after graduation in 2020, become a full-time event coordinator by 2025, and establish his own artist management company specializing in artist development by 2040.
2. IDENTITY
The second born of seventeen siblings, Bryant Morrisey grew up in
a small town in Warsaw, North Carolina, which molded his “Hustlers
Mentality” attitude. He has always looked up to icons like “Irv Gotti,
and Dame Dash” with in the music business, which inspired his
desire to build a independent record label. After serving 6 1/2 years
in the United States Army, Bryant enrolled in the Music Business
program at Full Sail University where he’s focused on developing
Artist Management.
3. PROFESSION
I am an independent rap artist. I motivate people of struggle to challenge any
situation with supreme confidence. I provide the confidence that may have been once
lost. I pride myself on creating music that has a direct connection with the
community I once lived in. All the music I create will be abut real life situations and
different options available when different obstacles occur.
4. TARGET
AUDIENCE
I think its vitally important that record labels like Quliatly
Control Music Group ran by Kevin “Coach K” Lee & Pierre
“Pee” Thomas, or even Think It’s A Game Records ran by G.
“Fly” Henry, know how about me so I can reach my intended
target. My Audience will relate mainly because of the
relatable issue I tend to make music about. I want listeners
to feel like im talking about their current situation while
while giving them the motivation to overcome it. My
audience would be the people who have grew up in poverty
situations but never lost thought about making it to better
situations. These type of people can be found at places like
the Apple Chill Festival in Fayetteville NC or Summer Jam in
East Rutherford NJ.

14. “Have you ever had all the tools in place to
complete the job yet you still seemed
unorganized?Well what I offer is a team of
individuals that specialize in making sure
your vision from an event is brought to life
within your budget. In fact, after serving
6.5 years in the Army I established a
company named “Strong Arm E.N.T” which
was responsible for bringing the live
entertainment back to the veterans day
parade in Warsaw, NC. Local citizens have
expressed their concern with the lack of
entertainment at the yearly parade and
Strong Arm E.N.T. made those changes. “
