Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Cinematic Radeo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Cinematic , thanks for joining us today. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?

My parents have been entrepreneurs for as long as I can remember, and that inspired me to value independence and the idea of working for myself. I used to spend weekends in New York with my dad, watching him meet with clients. He only worked a few days each month, which was so different from my friends’ parents, who were working every single day. I knew I wanted that kind of freedom and lifestyle.

Every summer until I was about 16, I’d spend a month in Jamaica, England, or Canada. Those experiences exposed me to different cultures and perspectives, sparking my curiosity and pushing me to explore and learn more about the things I’m passionate about.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I’m Cinematic Radeo, a videographer and photographer with a passion for storytelling through visuals. I grew up in Willingboro, a predominantly Black suburb in New Jersey, where creativity thrived in many forms—mainly through sports and music. Seeking my own creative outlet, I began producing beats in my home studio, which I called the Red Room. This earned me the nickname “Beatman” as my work gained popularity in the community.

Over time, my artistic journey led me to photography, where I discovered a new way to express myself. I started shooting for everyone I could, and as my skills naturally grew, I transitioned into videography. Now based on the West Coast, I’m a full-time photographer and videographer working with emerging artists to help them build and refine their brands.

What excites me most about this industry is the opportunity to meet incredible people and form lasting connections. Beyond the creative projects, I cherish the bonds I build while traveling with artists, their teams, and even their families. It’s these relationships, along with the fast-paced and dynamic nature of the industry, that keep me energized and inspired.

Currently, I’m focused on expanding my personal brand and leveraging the knowledge and experience I’ve gained over the years to empower the next generation. My goal is to share the lessons and blessings I’ve received with young creatives who, like me, are eager to find their voice and leave their mark on the world.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

I built my audience on social media by focusing on groundwork in real life first—building personal relationships and establishing a solid reputation before taking things online. Spending countless hours in studio sessions in cities like Philadelphia and New York, working with popular artists, and having them vouch for me early on really helped get my name out there. I started by creating visuals and beats for them, which naturally led to more exposure as they shared my work.

Having a strong home base also played a crucial role. The support I received from my hometown, Willingboro, amplified my social media growth. Their encouragement and word-of-mouth helped my online presence evolve into what it is today.

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

The most effective strategy for growing my clientele has been consistently producing high-quality, engaging work. Showcasing exceptional results not only attracts attention but also demonstrates expertise and a strong understanding of the importance of delivering outstanding content. This reputation naturally draws in more clients who value professionalism and quality.
