Professional Work & Contributions

In 2018 Real created a Facebook group named Independent Artists Movement. The original idea of the group was to assemble like-minded peers who would offer support through engagement and feedback on music and social media. The group grew rapidly and became known as one of the most reliable and authentic music promotion tools of its time. This set the foundation for Independent Artists Movement as a premier music promotion service.

In 2019 Real met an artist and entrepreneur named Lucci Damus and partner to form Independent Artists Movement, LLC. The company expanded into offering affordable professional marketing and promotion services to independent artists worldwide.

In 2021 Real relocated from Florida to Las Vegas, Nevada and opened Spades LV, a full production studio. This expanded Independent Artists Movement, LLC’s reach across the United States.
