Born Reginald L. Hudson on January 12, 1983 in none other than the hustler’s capital, Bronx, NY, Hudson had an early introduction to music. Growing up in a one-bedroom apartment occupied by a family of 5, Hudson was exposed to a melting pot of tunes. Taking an immediate liking to James Brown, which would soon manifest into an intentional connection with the title “Hardest Working Man in Show Business.”

With a mother in the music publishing industry and a preacher for a father who used all verticals of entertainment to get the message across, Hudson learned a lot about the industry in his own household. Going on to attend the University of Delaware, Hudson became the mouthpiece of the yard with his very own radio show, “The Takeover Show.” From introducing new genres of music to special celebrity guests, “The Takeover Show” was the show to tune into while simultaneously positioning Hudson as the go-to brand for all local artists and DJs.
On the day of his last radio show, Hudson had an epiphany equating the end of the show with losing a part of his true being. He realized then that the path of music was something he had to continue with.

These are all titles that Hudson began to conquer in the Delaware area, sparking the interest of State City Music; an up and coming label run by friends who would soon become his business partners in 2007. After experiencing the great influence Hudson had on the local music industry, State City Music asked him to come on board as the Director of Marketing for all projects.

With new endeavors top of mind, Hudson was aware of the oversaturation within the music industry. Refusing to introduce State City Music as a “one hit wonder,” Hudson moved back to New York City to explore each vertical of the industry. Landing the Advertising Operations Manager position at GIANT Magazine in 2007, Hudson learned what ignited the interests of media firsthand and what immediately caught the eye of the consumer; a lesson many new executives are still trying to conquer.
