As a serial entrepreneur with boundless energy and hustle, which dates back to at least his teen years in London buying wrecked cars, refurbishing them and selling them at a profit, Dre London is constantly looking for new opportunities. His more recent success has afforded him the resources and opportunities to build the foundation of a fledgling empire.
โThe growth of the company is unlike anything Iโve ever seen before,โ London tells Pollstar. โWe had to essentially kick into high gear once Post started blowing up so quickly. London Entertainment Group had to move twice as fast as Postโs accelerating career. Because everything we did with Post was working we had to work in overdrive to ensure we were two years ahead instead of two months ahead.โ
London Entertainmentโs expansion includes two new management clients, Tyga and Tyla Yaweh; Maison No. 9, a rosรฉ launched by London and Malone (with Global Brand Equities); a film and TV production division; and most recently AUX Live, a live music streaming service launched in June. And thereโs plans afoot for far more.
โWeโre going very global and now weโre mixing tech as you see weโve started with AUX Live,โ London says. โI see us expanding globally among so many facets of business and spaces. I see us growing in so many different regions and signing so many different artists in different regions.โ
London credits his creative director Bobby Greenleaf with much of this expansion. โWe went from coming up with crazy ideas about what we would like to do or what we could do in the future to bringing those ideas to life around the world and eventually taking over the world,โ he says. โHe is my first and second eye.โ
As for the future, London is perhaps going more tropical. โWhat Iโm about to bring back into America,โ he says, โis the Brazilian funk and the Brazilian culture that America hasnโt seen.โ
Then, he concludes, โLondon Entertainment Group has become more than just Dre London.โ
