SAVvy MARKeting Entertainment Group, LLC (SMEG) was formed as SAVvy MARKeting. The owners, Savoy (SAVvy) Walker and Mark (MARKeting) A. Forrest, were prompted to start their company under the guise of then-aspiring artists who were in dire need of guidance and honest managerial representation in the entertainment business. The concept and goal was to create a family based organization that would provide a conducive and supportive familial environment for clients while building and/or rebuilding their clientele's brands and also guiding their respective careers. What began as the result of consoling one client who had been severely taken advantage of in the music business has now flourished into a full-fledged operation that represents and supports several artists in the entertainment world.

Canadian born R&B and Soul artist Jeff Hendrick is no stranger to success. Since first hitting the stage at the age of seven, the accomplished singer/songwriter has emerged as one of his homelands brightest young music prospects. Deeply rooted in the R&B and Soul influences of artists like Steve Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and Michael Jackson, Hendricks smooth vocal offerings often conjure up images of Philly soul rather than the Canadian prairies. His mature and dynamic stage presence has captured fans both domestically and internationally, and his other talents as a saxophonist and keyboard player have truly made him a unique musical entity. Jeff’s new album “Color Blind” is available on his website www.jeffhendrick.com and can be heard on Savvy Marketing’s website at www.smegsite.com Keep an eye on our rising star Jeff Hendrick
