We recently connected with Terrance Green and have shared our conversation below.

Terrance, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear from you about what you think Corporate America gets wrong in your industry and why it matters.

In the corporate world, there this mentality in thinking it’s okay to gatekeep information, that can potentially change his or her life in the long run.

What the corporate world does wrong in my industry, is that sometimes they don’t help independent artist. They like to gatekeep information. There was an artist I work with, which is a amazing artist, has have issues with previous distribution company’s getting his music on all music platforms. The problem with this is that some of these distributions company’s will allow you to upload your music but don’t help with getting your music heard, streams, radio placements, etc. That what SWDD comes in, we do everything in the book to insure that the artist has everything they need and want to give them a jumpstart in there music career,
especially independent artist.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Greetings Kingz and Queens, My name Terrance “TP” Green, I wear many hats.I’m a Music Executive for a major music distribution company called Southwest Digital (SWDD), owner of business called Kingz Empire Investmentz LLC, that focuses on mentoring melanin kingz ages between 18-35. We focus on mental health, investing, breaking generational curses, and creating generational wealth. I’m also Chief of Public Relations for a Group called G.O.D.D.S Collective, which focuses on bringing content creators from all over together into one space, to do what they do best, which is Create

How I started was not always peaches and crème. In 2012 I was diagnosed with Kidney Failure, which restricted me from working in my career field. At that moment in time, I was very depressed because me watching “ associates” start there lives, really effected me mentally. I have been through ICU three times, lost the ability to walk, lost both of my parents 6 months apart. When I say I didn’t understand why I’ll this happening to me,. It was not easy but what I did learn over time is that the creator will put his strongest/chosen ones through Trauma that will mold you into something great.

Fast Forward in 2019, I was a sever/bartender at Redlobster, making decent money, until the pandemic hit. I’ve lost my job, which was my only source of income other than my disability check I get every month. It was frustrating but I decided to not let any thing stop me, and took a leap of faith. I tap into my entrepreneurship and started my own business, which in 2021 been featured in over 200+ major news outlets called Kingz Empire Investmentz.

Later that Year I meet my mentor, John Patillo (JP), the owner of SWDD who took me under his wing, teaching me everything in the music industry also introduces me to some the top people in the music game. Ms Yolonda which I called my mentor aka spiritual mother, which in fact the owner of The Yo Studio, members only, state of the art facility all across Houston that caters to all content creators. She made me (PR) and a board member.

What I’m most proud of is my growth. What I’ve learned over time, is yes your going to run into problems overtime, but look at the lessons and mindset you gain from your past traumas. When you start focusing on you and not giving energy into things not for you, the universe will make a way for your blessings to come in overflow.

Alright – so here’s a fun one. What do you think about NFTs?

It’s crazy that this question is ask, because I’m very familiar with this. The company I work with SWDD. Is taking it to the next level. They have music school, teaching independent music artist, how to tap into the NFT space. Educating them on how to create meta mask, how to create there own art work and how to mint them. NFTs is the next big thing that I truly feel that’s going to take over the industry.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

What help me was remaining consistent. When you out here creating a legacy, you want to make sure that people see your worth. Don’t focus on what society says you “should” do. Learned to step out of the culturescape and become extraordinary.
