We had the good fortune of connecting with Angel Marie and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Angel, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
We wanted to provide a platform for Philadelphia locals to have their voices heard and to highlight them as creatives in the art of entrepreneurship and music. In our city, we often hear “Philly doesn’t support Philly” and people often feel the need to move to New York or Los Angeles to become successful. We want to show our community that they can succeed in their dreams and passions while remaining in Philadelphia. Our city has so much talent that we want to show the world the up and coming stars and entrepreneurs of today’s generation.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Angel Marie is a 2015 Temple University graduate with a B.A. in Media Studies & Production, in the Klein School of Media and Communications. She is also a 2016 Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Trans-Media Sports Coverage as associate producer of the Rio Olympics. Angel began her career in radio in the summer of 2014 as a promotions and programming intern at Wired 96.5 and 92.5 XTU. In the fall of 2014, she lived in Los Angeles and worked with Entertainment Scoop as a red carpet reporter, AwesomenessTV as a Hollywood Intern, and served as an assistant to the entire Kardashian and Jenner family. After moving back to Philadelphia in 2015, she spent some time working with Penn Sports Network as a sideline reporter for Women’s Field Hockey and Women’s Basketball at The University of Pennsylvania. After moving back to Philly, Angel hit a roadblock in making her way back into media, and Kevin decided to launch his own business and partner with Angel to birth ‘All of the Above.’

Kevin S. is the founder and owner of PHL Radio, a Philadelphia-based internet radio station that provides a platform for independent artists. He is also the creator of the All of the Above podcast that features independent artists, entrepreneurs, entertainers, activists and creatives.

Professionally, he has over 15 years of experience in Global Benefits working with a client base including numerous Fortune 500 companies. In addition, he is heavily involved in local Philadelphia politics working on a number of campaigns as consultant and political strategist.

We want our brand to show the world that no dream is too small and to always believe in yourself and go after your goals.
