	Check out what some of our previous attendees had to say: “Just wanted you to know I attended the Beyond Potential Seminar in Baton Rouge a while back, and it was very encouraging, informing, and since then I have gathered the courage and necessary information to begin my own business of marketing and promoting artists... Thanks once again and keep up the good work, and sharing this great information with the world!” - BPU Baton Rouge attendee “Thanks so much for this weekend, I really am stirred up and I let full. I appreciate you guys ministry, It was something I needed. I was beginning to feel as if it was getting to late to try to keep pursuing this industry thing. I gained a lot from the workshops--my spirit is lifted. Again thanks so much for allowing God to use you guys” – BP Memphis Attendee “I was extremely blessed to attend Beyond Potential. Every session was to-the-point and packed with great information. The speakers were all outstanding - experts in their fields, good communicators, and personable. The speakers were not only knowledgeable, but very approachable. I was surprised by their willingness to answer all my questions.

Who will be at the event? Our regional events are conducted primarily by Beyond Potential co-founders Antonio Neal and Brandon Egerton. When possible, we also invite professionals from your area to participate. Antonio Neal – Co-Founder of Artistic Soul Entertainment/Beyond Potential & Singer/Songwriter/Producer During his 11 year career as a singer, songwriter and producer, Antonio has contributed to various artists careers including: The Katinas, Stacie Orrico, Kierra Sheard, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Joann Rosario and Darlene McCoy’s “Fallen In Love” from the hit motion picture soundtrack for Tyler Perry’s Diary Of A Mad Black Woman. In addition to his finely honed skills as a writer and producer, the Grammy nominated and Dove award winner released his own debut project Days of My Life on the EMI Gospel label, giving him a unique first hand perspective of the full spectrum of the creative process. Brandon Egerton – Co-Founder of Artistic Soul Entertainment & Former EMI Gospel A&R Beginning his career in 1999 as an intern at EMI Gospel Records, which led to a nearly ten year stint with the company primarily as A&R, Brandon was involved in the creation & promotion of over 125 albums released by the label during his tenure including Grammy, Dove & Stellar award winning/nominated artists: Kierra Sheard, Smokie Norful, V3, Darwin Hobbs, CeCe Winans, Myron Butler, Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers, Brent Jones & The T.P. Mobb & Antonio Neal. A final word of encouragement... There are so many out there who’ve had doors closed in their faces or been told they’re not good enough or they don’t have what it takes. We hope to inspire people to not give up on the dream that God has placed in their hearts and to understand their destiny does not hinge on getting signed to some label, but that they can actually be successful with the tools that they have been given.
