MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE DREAM
We Didn't Wait For The Vibe, We Became It.
The Kickback Entertainment was created with one mission: to bring good people together for good music, good food, and unforgettable energy. We're not just an event series, we're a cultural experience rooted in community, creativity, and connection. From live performances to elevated playlists, every detail is intentionally curated to reflect the soul of our people.
We're proud to be a grassroots, Black-Owned Entertainment Collective led by three powerhouse visionaries who each bring their unique magic to the table:
TRELL - ARTIST DIRECTOR & SOUND MASTERMIND
Trell is the heartbeat of our sound. As our Artist Director, he's responsible for hand-selecting the talent and making sure our audio quality is nothing short of excellence. With a master-level innerstanding of tech and production, Trell not only engineers our sound but captures the energy of the night on film. Documenting the memories we'll never forget. His behind-the-scenes brilliance is a major reason The Kickback keeps leveling up.
AMMA - DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS & CREATIVE QUEEN
We call her a Wombman of MANY Hats for a reason. Amma is our Director of Operations, Social Media Manager, Photographer, and Website Creator. Somehow she still finds time to greet guests at the door with a warm smile. From writing contracts for artists, vendors, and venues to keep our timelines tight and visuals sharp. Amma keeps the entire experience flowing with intention. Her hard work and sacred structure allow the rest of us to show up and shine.
ILL WILL The Barber - VIBE CURATOR & ENERGY ALCHEMIST
ILL WILL is more than a barber, he's our Vibe Curator. Whether he's selecting tracks for intermission or mixing up his signature "Elevate Your Vibes" juice at the bar, Will knows how to read the room and lift the frequency. Serving drinks while serving energy? It's not as easy as it looks but he does it effortlessly. Will is the grounding presence that keeps our kickbacks flavorful and full of life.
TOGETHER, WE ARE THE KICKBACK
We're a solid team with one sacred goal: to create space for grown, soulful joy. A space where you can dance, laugh, network, and support dope local artist and vendors. We stopped waiting for someone to create it, so we did it ourselves.
JOIN THE VIBE. BE PART OF THE CULTURE. WE'LL SEE YOU AT THE NEXT ONE.
