Born
and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Yaseen Allah got started
in music as a New York volunteer teacher assistant. Knowing
children love music, Allah decided to invite music professionals
into the classroom to motivate students. Throughout his
years as a teaching assistant, Allah inspired many
students, while creating an extensive list of music industry
VIP.
Gregarious and diplomatic, Allah developed and maintained
solid relationships with contacts at Sony, Universal,
Motown and Bad Boy, among others. In 1993, he began his
artist management career, managing New York-based reggae
sound systems, a job that took him as far as Jamaica.
Yet the time was not right for Allahs music ideas.
In 1996, Allah and Cherrie Blackman, co-founded Supreme
Management, an entertainment company focusing on artist
management. Soon after, in 1997, Allah signed his first
group, Canadian rappers the God Bodies. Impressed with
Allahs management style and long list of U.S. contacts,
the group promptly persuaded him to manage them.
Today,
Allah, President and CEO of Supreme Management, manages
some of the most talented Canadian artists and American
acts. In April 2001, Supreme Management was incorporated
in New York City. Plans for a Canadian office are currently
in the works. |
