Can a musician from a small town make a big impact?  Warren Brown, multi-instrumentalist and internet personality, better known on Facebook as “Mr. Get’cha Peoples in the House”, knows the answer. With nothing except his family’s support, an engaging character and a willingness to take risks,  Warren has harnessed the power and reach of Facebook to create buzz and a growing brand in the gospel music industry, “The Yank Nation.” Warren hosts and performs in a live-streamed music show, drawing tens of thousands of viewers every week via social media. Warren exhibits a savvy approach to media marketing which seamlessly blends the line between ministry and entertainment. He spoke to us after a show in South Florida, in which he livestreamed his performance with musicians outside his church for the first time.

Major points shared during the interview:

Why Christian musicians can play in clubs and secular arenas without being condemned.
His father's influence on his musical training and marketing strategies.
Growing up in a musical family with talented siblings, and how his father trained them with limited musical knowledge of his own.
The difference between ministry and creating an entertaining church-based show.
A recap of the Warren Brown Live in Miami event in September 2017 and how he approaches every live performance.
Changing a social media strategy from simply trying to gain attention from other musicians, and instead developing a recognizable brand.
How local musicians and Facebook trolls discouraged and almost convinced him to discontinue his show, and how he overcame his discouragement.
Confidence and how he still gets nervous until he goes into character.
Using Facebook responses to change attitudes and promote positivity
