Born in Georgia, but a native of Allentown, Pa since a child, Jermaine Warren had an early love affair with music, particularly Hip Hop. Warren spent his youthful years break-dancing and faithfully taping mix shows on Philadelphia’s famed WUSL Power 99 FM. Soon after, he began to frequent New York City to witness Hip Hop emerging from the parks of the South Bronx to becoming a full scale business phenomenon. Warren visited legendary Manhattan nightclubs and shopped at the newest “urban” retail stores during this period. While others were just hanging out, Big Maine absorbed it all.
In particular, Warren observed the rise of “street team” marketing as it revolutionized approaches to promotion of not only rap music but all other urban and youth oriented products. Recognizing the lack of this type of cutting edge and highly effective marketing, Warren took what he learned in New York and came back to Allentown to fill the void.
Utilizing this knowledge and tapping into a strong network of contacts throughout the Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley and northeast Pa area, Warren launched (APAM) in 1998. Since its inception, (APAM) Atown Promotions Advertising Media has been directly or affiliated with the biggest names and events in the Lehigh Valley urban music scene.
