Excellence begets excellence. Such is the philosophy of entertainment executive, producer, life coach, and motivational speaker JOJO BRIM.

His inspiring production style made him an instant favorite among artists and managers, and word spread quickly about this young up and coming producer with a lot of energy, patience, and dope tracks.

One particular executive that was taken in by Jojo was Lyor Cohen (Former Chairman and CEO of Def Jam). When Cohen was looking to add some new energy to the label, he tapped Jojo to be part of his A&R “Hit Squad”. Brim delivered instantly, overseeing gold and platinum albums for scores of artists including Musiq Soulchild, LL Cool J, Case, Ashanti, Montell Jordan, and Dru Hill, to name a few. Impressed with Brim’s smart work, dedication and creative vision, Def Jam Chairman Russell Simmons entrusted Jojo as Creative Director for groundbreaking African-American advertising agency Rush Media which handled accounts including Coca-Cola®, HBO®, Bud Light®, and ESPN.

Jojo currently sits on the Executive Management Team for KWL Enterprises – the new endeavor of iconic mogul Kevin Liles. KWL Enterprises is responsible for the management of the Atlantic Records Platinum recording artist Trey Songz, as well as such Hip Hop and R&B Stars as Keysha Cole, Big Sean, Young Jeezy, Nelly, and D’Angelo to name a few. Production is still close to Brim’s heart which is why he maintains his production endeavors through Indy label Couture Music which is home to Singer Songwriter Talia Coles, Talia’s single “Never See You Again” featuring Dj Drama and Wale is featured on the new Dj Drama Album “Third Power”.

Jojo is constantly looking for what he calls “The L”, in every situation, says Brim, “Every situation is an opportunity to Teach, Heal, Educate and Learn” and that’s what I look for whenever I take on an artist or project”. Making great music wasn’t enough for Brim, he wanted to contribute to making great people as well, so in the summer of 2005 he began training to become a life-coach and in August of 2009 He completed the Leadership Course module with the world-renowned life coach and humanitarian Robin Lynn's Momentum Education Adult Training Program. Jojo collaborates with people from all walks of life; helping them to achieve extraordinary results in their personal, professional, and spiritual space.
