PODCAST INTERVIEW WITH ARRON GEORGE

PODCAST INTERVIEW WITH ARRON GEORGE

 Welcome to Keeping it Real Alicia Nelson Channel. Feel free to subscribe, like, comment and share my videos.  On this podcast interview, I had the pleasure of interviewing Aaron George, CEO of InnerSanctum Entertainment Limited.  InnerSanctum Entertainment Ltd is a company that has its arms in lots of different categories of entertainment.  They do instrumentals and studio production. They also create advertisements. They are involved in modeling and event preparation, management etc.  InnerSanctum Entertainment Limited started officially in 2014 due to the interest in the guys in my neighborhood and I wanting to record music. At the time it was the only person with useful space that could be turned into a studio. There began InnerSanctum Studios.  They did lots of covers and demo type songs at first, then as they gained recognition they expanded to a second studio.  The space was bigger and more like an actual studio.  They did some music there that ended up on radio and the rest is history.  The company has a very strong music department, but they also have a very strong Children's events arm as well. It started some years before the first studio did and was run as a family business with Aaron George's  mother at the helm.   They also offer other amenities as well outside of the two major ones stated above. The business does Social media Optimization and event promotion and they are heading into heavy videography and photography.  They have and are currently partnering with designers to create merchandise and other network ventures.  They are headed forward with exciting ideas. They are planning a major concert to build our third iteration of InnerSanctum Studios and they are currently working on an album to assist with the funds for this venture as well.  So for the near future that’s what they are working on, expanding renovating and rebuilding the studio with a global market and international ventures in mind.
