A musical tour’s success is hinged on many things beyond the musician’s showmanship or artistry. It is hinged on the many other entities that make a tour successful such as the DJ, dancers, hypeman, who all contribute to a good show. Mont’e Millions is one artist who never leaves things to chance and will go all the way in working with the right people to deliver the best to his teeming fans and global audience.

With his 2022 Pop County Reggae Tour in the works, Mont’e Millions has not called for auditions in Miami, Florida, on October 20. The audition aims to discover talented DJs, dancers, and hypemen to join him on tour. The musician with a solid musical background has spent his whole life building a career on quality materials, music, performance, and artistry. Going on a tour is just another way to get his music out into the world, and he is set to take no prisoners in the quality of entertainment his fans are about to experience.

Born Montressa L. Cunningham, Mont’e Millions also had a musician grandfather, Elijah Cunningham, who was part of a gospel quartet group between the late ’60s and early ’70s. His next musical influence was his aunt, Yvonne Jackson, an international blues musician whose I’m a Troubled album shot her to fame in the early ’90s and got her on tour with notable artists like Bo Diddley, BB King, and many other well-known blues musicians. All of these locked Mont’e Millions’ interest in pursuing music as a career, and by the age of 12, he had already started the journey.

As a 13-year-old boy, he was pulled under the wings of Ms. Betty Wright, and the many years that followed saw Mont’e writing and recording songs for various artists and performing as an artist himself in the hip-hop, gospel, and R&B genres. With one EP to his name, numerous singles and collaborations with other artists and six books, Mont’e Million has put in the work to become a known name in the arts and entertainment world.

He has operated as an independent artist throughout his career under his independent label, Life After Death Entertainment. He has successfully gained massive traction across radio stations worldwide with his first EP, My Life, getting played on 93 radio stations and selling more than 150,000 copies. His book catalog which includes titles like  “Shattered Mirrors,” Every Piece Matters,” “The Best of Both Worlds,” “The Best of Both Worlds Journal,” “My life Story” From Rags to Riches,” “Shattered Mirrors: Self Help Guide,” and “Shattered Mirrors – Help book guide,” and “SALLY.” Some of his chart-topping songs include “Hundred Bands,” “Really,” and “Sally.” “Sally” alone has garnered more than 500,000 streams since it was released in 2020.

With Mont’e Millions’ extensive catalog of work and plans in the entertainment industry, he has his sights set on other entertainment ventures such as his new talk show called This is Our Urban, as well as a magazine with the same name, both launched in January 2021. He also plans to release more music, interact more with his fans, give back to his community and fans, and generally contribute to the world’s happiness. He currently represents Quiet Storm Vodka as a brand ambassador and model, and he’s well-invested in multiple businesses and ventures himself.

With his upcoming tour, he wants to give back to the community by giving raw talents the chance to shine and get exposed to the world. He hopes to connect with amazing talents at the audition and get the chance to connect them to better opportunities. Mont’e Millions sees himself writing more songs in the future, publishing more books and getting into the film industry.Learn more about Mont’e Millions on his official website.

For social media guru and marketing consultant Marilyne Nix, working with musicians is now more than a part of her business. It’s a tribute to her late father.  After the passing of famous Arkansas musician Jim Nix, his daughter now looks to honor his legacy by elevating musicians through social media. 

Marilyne is the owner and founder of Luxelife9, a luxury brand that has exploded recently on social media platforms. The brand has considerably grown, especially on Instagram, where it currently sits at 911,000 followers and still growing. Its founder Marilyne Nix has become one of fashion, beauty, and luxury’s most prominent social media stars. 

Following the success of her brand, Marilyne conceptualized a business consultancy service that would help other brands succeed in the social media realm. She has worked with other companies to elevate their presence online and helped them gain powerful traction through her proven expertise. Now, she has a soft heart for musicians who want to get their music out there through digital platforms. 

Jim Nix, the late father of Marilyne, passed away not too long ago due to COVID-19. However, he played a crucial role in Marilyne’s life growing up. For almost all her life, the social media influencer remembers growing up around music as a lifestyle. 

“I remember being surrounded by artists for the longest time,” she fondly recalls. “My dad trained people who became the best in the industry and toured the world and became legendary. He met and played with the best entertainers in the business.”

In tribute to her father, Marilyne looks to place a high premium on working with musicians who show promise. Luxelife9 looks to take musicians under its wing and strengthen its social media channel presence. The social media consulting company has snowballed as of late as companies and individuals have flocked to the firm for advice and guidance. The COVID-19 pandemic has pinned a significant burden upon brands with lockdowns and a dropped public confidence. Arguably the most significant contributor to keeping businesses and brands alive amid these trying times has been digital marketing and e-commerce. 

Accordingly, Marilyne Nix believes that social media could become the cornerstone to business and brand growth. She hopes to provide that support to companies of all shapes and sizes. And as of recently, she has added artists into that mix. Already, she is working with a handful of promising musicians who could become the next big stars of the music industry. But Nix isn’t slowing down just yet. By solidifying brand personas and social media reach for these talented musicians, Marilyne hopes to bring honor to the memory of her father. “Music meant everything to him, and I believe this is what he would have wanted,” shares Marilyne Nix.

Today, Marilyne is starting a Jim Nix Music Scholarship for college students in the coming school year, 2022-2023.

Luxelife9 is a consulting firm that gives marketing and branding guidance. Its services include marketing strategy development, content development systems, training programs, and many others. Marilyne and her company have appeared in publications like USA Today, Market Watch, Yahoo Finance, and many others for her work in marketing, branding, and social media.
