Without the influence of those before them who laid the groundwork, this generation’s artists wouldn’t be where they are today. Ronnie DeVoe, a member of New Edition, and Shamari DeVoe, one-third of Blaque, know all about putting the work in. The two music veterans have both respectively stamped their footprint in the music business. As proof of their long-lasting impact, earlier this year, Ronnie was on the road with New Edition — who have been in the game for over four legendary decades — for The Culture Tour. The shows were led by the Black Promoters Collective, which recently secured a $60 million quarter, Billboard reports. For Shamari, she continues to tour for Blaque — who topped the charts in the 90s and 2000s — and the group has an upcoming performance at Groove Fest IV with fellow R&B greats Keith Sweat, Ginuwine, Blackstreet, and Dave Hollister. Additionally, she appeared on BET’s “The Encore” in 2021.
Tammy Williams is history in the making. Williams, who has an impressive track record in the entertainment industry spanning 25 years across film, biographies, documentaries, entertainment, and network news, has taken her pursuits to historic heights with the creation of Cinema South Studios. Tammy Williams says “she will be the first majority Black female owner of a studio she knows of in the state,” according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Williams’ moves are backed by her partner, CEO, and investor of G-Square Events and Black Promoters Collective Gary Guidry. “The demand for soundstages is happening globally and the ownership rarely looks like us, let alone an African American woman,” Guidry said, according to the outlet. “When I choose to invest, I evaluate the need of the business and the ownership. Investing in Tammy Williams and her team of professionals convinced me that buying the land in Fayetteville, GA was a sound decision with the talents of her at the helm.”
