BOBBY DEE

Interview by Ms.Louise Conley

Founder of Bobby Dee Presents and Partner with Uncle Snoop’s Army.

We caught up with Bobby Dee of Bobby Dee Presents & Uncle Snoop’s Army during some of his down time…

Bobby, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today?

I’m a Junior and my father, Bobby Dee, was the owner of a nightclub. I pretty much followed in my father’s footsteps, working as my father’s personal assistant and I eventually took over his business about 15 years ago. Since then, I started out with small night clubs then worked my way up to where I am today.

How long have you been in the entertainment industry?

I’ve been in this industry for 34 years because like I mentioned before I grew up working alongside my father being an owner of a nightclub.

How did it come around that you ended up on uncle Snoop’s camp?

Snoop had reached out to me after seeing our lineups and shows; about 4 years ago we were finally able to have time to sit down and talk.

Has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you had to overcome?

Definitely wasn’t an easy path! I was turned down by a lot of artists - actually I mean a lot of artists’ agents had

We would love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on, what else should we know?

Right now, I am working on a lot of artist development with artists like Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony, Lisa Lisa, Too Short, and B-Real. Apart from artist development, I’ve been working hard on all our shows and events that were supposed to happen this year but have been pushed to the summer of 2021 due to COVID-19; I am very much looking forward to the upcoming summer.

Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?

One thing I had to do to get where I’m at today was to ‘STAY PERSISTENT’! If I didn’t do that and didn’t continue to keep pushing, you and I definitely would not be having this interview right now.

What advice could you give indie artists that are trying to be a major artist?

Use social media to your advantage! When I was started out, social media wasn’t around yet so definitely utilize it to your advantage, but also be very careful of what you post and share online, it reflects who you are and what you’re about.

Another word of advice would be, don’t give up and don’t get brokenhearted over the rejections. I went through a

Do you like your celebrity status?

It’s flattering, but all I’m doing is really just representing celebrity artists. I don’t take the celebrity status all that serious, because I’m simply just doing my job and enjoying what I do; I love my work!

What is your favorite food and favorite place to eat?

Pizza, and the place to eat it is in Chicago: Giordano’s!

Can you share with us any talent that you have booked and what is your affiliation with them?

Jesus Adame – whom I am co-manager of, he has a voice that you wouldn’t believe!
