Q&A with curator BeMo Brown

BeMo Brown is a producer, curator, and creative impresario based in Washington DC. From producing large festivals like the DC Funk Parade and PBR’s Flower Bomb Festival to curating intimate and sophisticated events like Urbane and Parlor-styled discussions, BeMo has exhibited a keen understanding of the DC creative industry. Bryant recognizes the patterns of engagement as it pertains to providing high-quality events often featuring emerging talent based in DC. Publicly, you can hear Bryant hosting the “Wake N Bake With BeMo” podcast and live morning show analyzing patterns in modern culture.
Behind the scenes, Bryant is hard at work transforming content from his Iive-produced shows into permanent media including albums, podcasts, cassettes and web series. In addition, Bryant has a talent for using his expertise to create revenue streams for various artists. He recognizes that as the DC creative industry is growing, DC can not spare another second as the call of other cities’ creative industries grows louder. As such, Bryant has provided opportunities for DC-based artists to establish themselves as headliners for larger opportunities in DC and nationally.
In DC’s creative industry, there are several artists who have grown beyond the hobbyist nature of open mics but who have yet to catch their big break. Bryant has done a phenomenal job of recognizing these talented individuals, providing sophisticated and worthwhile opportunities while protecting the legacy of DC culture. The creative space that Bryant occupies is not glamorous or subsidized by guarantees but BeMo is brave enough to risk his personal success for the betterment of the creative industry. Some call that foolish, I call it right.
