Tell Me More with Nicole Walters

Show Notes

“If you want to come out here to get rich, if you want to come out here to get accolades, you're in for a rude awakening because it’s a dark industry and the only thing that gets through is the light.”

Chris Anokute, the prominent music executive and artist development specialist, is here to chat about his journey and profound impact on the music industry.

From humble and scrappy beginnings to founding Young Forever Inc., to playing a pivotal role in launching global superstars, Chris shares how he did it and the faith that carried him the whole way.

We chat through how Chris reconciles his faith with working in a secular industry and his personal transformation towards using his voice for mentorship and spreading hope, marking a new chapter in his life.

Don’t miss Part 2 of this chat when Chris shares why he left the music industry and what this next chapter looks like for him.
