We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Walter Sanders. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Walter below.
Walter, appreciate you joining us today. Have you ever had an amazing boss? What did you learn from them? Maybe you can share a story that illustrates the kind of boss they were or maybe you can share your thoughts on what you think made them an awesome person to work for?
Growing up I was always interested in music. Starting with my first drum set at five years of age. My father was a singer and Sax player. By the age of twelve I was an accomplished Drummer, Piano/Organ Player. My fav. entertainer besides my father was James Brown. At the age of eight I was able to see James Brown in person for the first time, accompanied by my parents and my neighbor Mr. Garner who worked at the concert hall. As we were on the way to the concert hall Mr. Garner told he had a surprise for me, he knew that James Brown was my fav professional entertainer. When we arrived at the concert hall Mr. Garner ask to come with him he wanted me to see something. We to the opening pass security to a closed door, he said knock on the door which I did the began to open and jaw dropped, standing there with his hand reached out to shake mine was Mr. James Brown. I was speechless. We didn’t have much time to talk as he was about to go on stage. Mr Brown guided me to where the stage was I was offered a chair off stage and was able to sat there through the whole concert. A night I never forget. After it was over he gave me an autographed picture. He told me he understood I wanted to be an entertainer and no matter what never give up your dreams. And i never did. Thank you Mr. Brown!
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I started off playing drums and piano/organ which led me to writing songs and playing piano jazz with Mr. Don Albert, trumpeter and bandleader, I was fifteen at the time. At twenty or so I moved around, playing here and there. Music was my love but I had to earn, by this time I had a family to take care of. I started to scout out and manage music groups, and started holding promotions around town, and eventually on the road. At that point I started a promotion company “BlackStar Entertainment, bringing together and mentoring local groups. As the years passed I changed the name of my promotion company to Urban Underground Alliance Entertainment, with focus on underground Hip-Hop Music. I eventually bought a lesser know Hip-Hop record label and renamed it “9mSyndicate Records”. Using the contacts I worked with over the years we were able to put together the first release “The Platinum Project Series” the series consisted of three separate releases over a seven year stretch. I’m very proud of the work that was done at “9mSyndicate Records” after ten years, I sold BlackStar Entertainment along with the label and changed the name of my promotion company to Alliance Global Companies. From that point I launched my first venture into the internet, an online radio station “Aee Hot 210 Radio” which was the stepping stone for my media company now known as “Alliance Global Digital Group” an Alliance Global Company.
Can you talk to us about how your funded your business?
Well as I said I started to scout out and manage music groups, and started holding promotions around town, and eventually on the road. At that point I started a promotion company “BlackStar Entertainment, bringing together and mentoring local groups. As BlackStar Entertainment became a success and caught the attention of a few other promoters that wanted to invest in my company, that gave me the initial capital to acquire the label. As they say the rest is history.
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
At twenty or so I moved around, playing gigs here and there. I loved playing music but I had to earn money. I realized I wasn’t going to be a star, so instead of playing music I started promoting music and I was good at it. So I changed directions and went full ahead.
