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

Hi Kandace, what do you attribute your success to?
Networking! Networking will lead you to meeting people and doing things you’ve never thought of doing . I went from owning a beauty business to being in radio just from networking.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
It all started 5 years ago when I started my first business . I started out selling lashes , eventually I added hair , clothes , shoes , almost anything you can name to my brand , Eyekandy Fashion and Beauty. I moved to Charlotte NC from my hometown Greenville SC to expand my brand and while I was there doing that I was introduced to the entertainment industry.I managed a artist but I seen that wasn’t really my lane I was introduced to radio and that’s been my passion every since ! I moved to Atlanta the beginning of the Summer this year in 2023 with the mindset of if I did it in Charlotte I can do it in Atlanta and here I am doing radio and networking here in Atlanta.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take my best friend downtown Atlanta to bar hop because that’s what we usually do back at home and I know she’ll love the vibe downtown Atlanta . I would definitely take her to ATL wings that’s on the west side , it’s a little rough on that side of town but they have the best wings in the city so far that I know of. Of course I would take her to an 94.7 the link event if there’s one going on because it’s always some exclusives in the building . Then we might end the night at Allure Gentlemen’s Club lol
