Brandon M. Burton is both the founder and lead consultant who began as a recording artist but then realized a huge gap in real-world business knowledge of how money is made in the entertainment business and other industries.

Our founder is responsible for designing merchandising store websites for Griselda by Fashion Rebels (GXFR), TCF Music Group, The TRUST Station, Conway the Machine and Grea8gawd.

From June 2018 - August 2020 he organized and ran the shipping department and maintained inventory for Griselda by Fashion Rebels and 3 of their e-commerce business brands which included 50+ designs and product lines creating a system that was able to handle the workload and pushed the company productivity allowing GXFR to break their first seven figure year and see multiple seven figure quarters in the span of two years.  He then shifted focus to product and inventory management.

He also spent three years as the head tour manager of Griselda Records where he learned from the legendary Steven McDaniel who has managed tour runs for the likes of Rihanna, J. Cole, Meek Mill, Bruno Mars, etc.  Brandon was trained and implemented in how to plan, book, organize, and effectively execute tours for a full record label roster.
