ABOUT US
MBK Entertainment, Inc. is a Multi-Media Firm with a focus in Artist Management, Music Production, Concert Promotions and Film/TV Production. Established in 1995, MBK Entertainment was created on a vision that encouraged camaraderie, brotherhood and support between those who had dreams to succeed and persevere in the often-unwelcoming entertainment industry. MBK, “My Brothers Keeper”, created a means for founder Jeff Robinson, to change the tides and offer opportunities for those trying to break into the entertainment world.
MBK Entertainment is based on concepts that ushered in great labels such as Motown, Stax, and Philadelphia International to name a few. True roots soul, live R&B and breakthrough songs are the foundation of MBK. Alicia Keys had a stellar debut year winning 5 Grammy’s and selling over 10 million units worldwide. Elle Varner’s debut album hit #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, #2 on the Top R&B Albums and #1 R&B albums on ITunes within her first week. However, these success stories didn’t happen overnight. MBK’s belief in artist development takes a methodical approach to be sure that the artist is ready artistically and visually.
With the expansion of our film division, we are constantly working on new projects. Our film endeavor with the award-winning feature film, Pariah was a success and has since garnered national recognition. We are pleased to introduce new film projects for the next year and are currently producers on the London production of A Street Car Named Desire.
MBK Entertainment, Inc. plans to continually bring something fresh and new to the consumer with every project we develop and every artist we represent. From Pariah to our artist roster (Alicia Keys, Elle Varner, SWV, Gabi Wilson, Daisha, Fame, Anthony Hall, Tiara Thomas and K. Michelle) we continue to fulfill our vision to change the tides and push boundaries. As a young company, we are expanding and broadening our horizons everyday to give you, the consumer and the potential new artist, some of the best quality entertainment in the industry today.
