Meet David, he’s a college senior studying film. Although he’s dedicated his life to videography, he’s found it challenging to find paid opportunities using his talent.
After joining the 1FG umbrella, David has been connected to paid videography jobs throughout the city, through which he is able to further develop his passion, while earning money from the passion he loves.
Meet the Xavier & Micah, AKA the “410Boys”. Balancing school, full time dayjobs, all while pursuing their music career, they know how hard it can be to gain support & find opportunities in their area of passion.
Through 1FG, the 410boys have been given the platform to perform their talents to total audiences exceeding 1000. “1FG has given us the opportunity to sharpen our live performance skills, network with local creatives, and reach a more diverse audience.”
Meet Claire. Claire has always loved music, but never imagined the idea of being a DJ. “That’s for the professionals, right?” Wrong.
We taught Claire how to DJ from the ground up. We then provided her the platform to perform her new talent in front of hundreds, because we believe everyone deserves to unlock their hidden talents.
