Today we’d like to introduce you to Regina Phillips
Regina, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
Our story begins August 27, 2021 when myself and our CEO “Chio The Key” used and opportunity provided to us to produce a show for other artists other than ourselves called “Stateline Versus” the show was a success but because of a bad deal made with a promoter we only received $200 out of $1000 profit made. However we were offered personally by the venue an opportunity to do the same events weekly. Quickly the platform was born. Facing many ups and downs and pushing through no matter what. Speaking loud and proud on behalf of artists against bad business, artists goals, and development. We don’t sell dreams but we promise to put your passion to work and guide it to profit! Later we became the official “Road Runners” taking the platform to other cities and states such as California, Florida, Killeen, Texas, Dallas, Texas and more. We value loyalty and move in truth. We have been awarded best curator 2 years in a row by broadcast houston. And have given many artist opportunities for celebrity exposure and paid performances. We have also volunteered for juvenile detention center as mentors to troubled teens as well as several toy drives around Christmas donated to families and churches in need.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Lokey The Movement was founded August 27, 2021 by Regina P, A.K.A musik da muse and Taliah H, A. K.A Chio the key. Both being aspiring artist the pair set off following there dream together. We journeyed the city together performing!
We met an opportunity to produce their own show by a promoter they met while performing. The two decided they would use this as an opportunity to extend to their fellow artist friends. Since both of us were from different states the two began urging each of their crowd to sign up! The show was a success, profiting over $1000 in one night. However as a pair we only saw $100 for their work after promoter took $900 for their self. The two were upset after all they put in all the work there selves! A day later, we received a call from the venue offering us to come back weekly on our own. So, Lokey The Movement was born. Our journey went through many ups and downs learning one lesson after another, but never allowing it to stop us. Along our journey we have always attracted people wanted to be involved with the movement. Our first team parted ways after a battle for the companies credentials with another promoter. We were publicly shamed on social media and everyone turned their back on us. We then bought our LLC. and came back stronger than ever. Later on we met CFO, OCT WORD Executive CBOM RAY who has stood sold for all the years following.

What do you like best about our city? What do you like least?
I love the opportunity that exist in this city. Coming from a small town myself I kept running around in circles looking for a spot that didnt exist where im from. This city, along with the right mindset and work ethic, you can make anything possible. In the same sense you must beware of authenticity of each opportunity and do research to be safe in all endeavors. It’s easy to be tricked if you don’t do your research on people, places, and things because the city can be money driven.
