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

Hi Stephon, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I decided to start my own business I was inspired by wanting to bring a real management/record company to my city/state. Here in Kentucky we not really known for music but over the years we been having some successful artists emerge.

What should our readers know about your business?
My brand Dupree Entertainment Group is mainly focused on artist’s development. Today’s music industry doesn’t develop artists and we look for raw talent to break. The music industry is saturated with the same type of music/feel. We look for uniqueness when it comes to talent that we choose to do business with.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
It would have to be Texas for sure! Texas nightlife scene is lityy!!! The bars stay packed and the food & weather is always good. The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout to my mother for always believing in me. And my business partner Omer Cowherd, if it wasn’t for this man helping me to get my business off the ground I wouldn’t be where I’m at today honestly.
