Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Marino Lemons. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Marino, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Day to day the world can seem like a tough place, but there’s also so much kindness in the world and we think talking about that kindness helps spread it and make the world a nicer, kinder place. Can you share a story of a time when someone did something really kind for you?
The most kindest thing someone has done for me was honestly believe in me and my dreams. That act of kindness and love truly supported me during hard times; at a moment where most would have given up I kept going. Having such loving support truly helps me succeed in all of my efforts. Im a better man and business professional because of it.
Marino, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Iam King Marino and its nice to meet you! Im a top rated rapper on Fivver and that door led me to getting my music on Tyler Perry, Jersey Shore, News Stations, and hundreds of more shows. I produce music for companies, sports teams, and everyday customers and I enjoy doing so. I have 3 companies RnB Dreams Store, RnB Dreams Media Solutions & King Marino Records which offers merchandise and music/media services as well as photography.
My passion is to use all of my talents and the things that makes me who I am, all while offering great services to those who see value in me. One of my greatest achievements is accomplishing everything I was told I couldn’t do. Well I did it, without compromising myself, my music or my time.
I say that to say this *clears throat*… outside of wanting to successfully sell my goods and book services, my goal is to also attract people and customers that resonate with my brand and my message. Just as I dont want to compromise myself , I dont want others to compromise themselves just to say that they supported me. I want to normalize looking at customers as people and not pay checks.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
I dont want to say that music was ever my side hustle but I will say that I had to balance a full time job and still do what I love. One day I was talking to my business partner and I said “ I really want to retire at 36 but when I tell people that, they think Im crazy!” She laughed and then she encouraged me to do so. She was one of the first people to ever believe that I could retire my 9-5 at 36 and focus on my music fulltime! That was the start of a new beginning for me! I quit my 9-5 and made more doing music than I ever have any job in my life! Thats the story!
Can you tell us the story behind how you met your business partner?
Actually online! After booking my services we supported each other’s businesses and noticed that we were both on the same page. It was a great minds think alike kind of energy there. I saw that she,Bri, really backed up what she said and got results. Its easy to listen to what people say they are going to do, but to see someone take my ideas, run with them and make profit, I think it was safe to say that a partnership was needed for what we both envisioned. We started RnB Dreams remotely and sold out multiple times.
