Carlos King, CEO, Kingdom Reign Entertainment
Executive Producer, TV host and podcast personality Carlos King is one of the busiest men in the industry! In this sit down with Jimmy, Carlos traces the beginnings of his career back to him completely hustling the system to land a coveted internship at Def Jam Records. Before too long he found his way to The Real Housewives of Atlanta where he began at the very bottom of the food chain before rising to become the show's showrunner. Carlos then launched his production company and never looked back creating series such as OWN's Love & Marriage franchise and as well as Belle Collective. Carlos is one of the few producers who has made the transition in front of the camera becoming a seasoned TV and podcast host in his own right.
