Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

At Lukose Music Group, our mission is to leave a positive and lasting impact on the world by elevating benevolent talent that inspires and uplifts others. Guided by our core values—Loyalty, Love, Faith, Gratitude, Discipline, and Consistency—and united under our motto, “Fear God,” we strive to foster a community that transcends barriers and embraces the power of love as the universal truth. We proudly proclaim Jesus Christ, as the ultimate embodiment of that love.

How do you stay motivated?

A large portion of the music industry—especially Hip-Hop—is manipulated and controlled to promote greed, selfishness, sexual immorality, violence, drug addiction, depression, ect. The list goes on. Once you study the impact music can have on your brain, and how powerful it can really be — it gets serious. It's affecting the masses. It’s one of the reasons I decided to start this company. Lukose Music Group will play its part in restoring benevolent talent to the scene.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The $25,000 award will expand LMG’s impact by enhancing independent music distribution and building strategic partnerships. Funds will support monthly co-releases, elevating emerging talent to a global stage, and strengthen talent scouting efforts to foster creativity. Additional funds will optimize marketing and services, strengthen the label’s online presence, and foster community outreach through impactful partnerships with underrepresented voices, ensuring long-term growth.
