October 30, 2024Perfect Cultural Performance for Our Wedding Celebration
Mookie of MME Entertainment truly understood our vision and executed it perfectly. My husband and I requested a performance inspired by *Coming to America* for our wedding, and he delivered exactly that, complete with surprise elements and an unforgettable grand entrance at both the ceremony and reception. He represented our culture beautifully by dressing in our country’s colors. He wowed us and our guests! Highly recommend this company for an exceptional performance.

About
Born and raised in New York City, Mookie embodies everything that a true musical explorer should be. Though he identifies more with being a New Yorker, his diversity and African and Caribbean roots have, in some part, influenced his passion for music, and distinct talents.
At a young age his biggest influences were Prince and Stevie Wonder—two musical legends who relied mainly on their pure talent. As Mookie phrases it, “You have to become so great at what you do, you have to become a pinnacle of inspiration... a one-man show!” This personal philosophy opened his eyes to the various paths one can take when pursuing a music career. It isn’t solely restricted to become just an artist, writer, producer or a manager. Every path is free for you to venture.
Mookie became a master of music through his great experiences and hard work. When he was 17, he joined the ‘Artist Collective’ [a performing arts program in Hartford, CT] and began touring around the USA playing drums and keyboard for 5 years. Mookie was also granted the great opportunity to play the keyboard and tour with 50 Cent. In 2009, he began to collaborate with MBK Entertainment—Alicia Keys former management company—and continues to work with them. Yet, in 2011, he decided to start up his own production and management company, and so he formed Mook’a’milli Entertainment.
As if that wasn’t enough work, Mookie also runs a performing arts group, under his company, called ‘FriendZ World Music’. They offer Modern Dance, West African Drum and Dance, Hip-Hop, and Live Fusion Band. He
also works with many African dance companies around the world both international and domestic, such as "Kochenga " an Ivorian Dance company based in Ivory Coast West Africa and in the US. Music is his passion and his love, and he continues to work every day, building his brand—Mook’a’milli Entertainment.
