27 year old Greg! swears he has lived more lifetimes than people twice his age. From being taken at birth and put up for adoption to being black in an all white family to having an abusive father to being severely bullied in his small-town conservative texas school, Greg! refuses to be called a victim. After graduating high school, Greg! moved to NYC where he fell in love with recording music. He decided to take the struggle, abuse, and pain he’s dealt with in his life and pour it into his music, creating an intoxicating cocktail of bold, raw and powerful pop-rock sounds.

Greg!’s debut single, “Human Being” is a defiant entry into the alternative rock scene. Partially inspired by his accidental career in the service industry, “Human Being” is a plea for everyone to remember that we are all only human and should be treated as such.

After successfully operating two stores in Downtown Los Angeles, it was time to take another risk. In the summer of 2021, Jeremy Trayvon owner of Eighty Five Eighty Six relocated his two stores into a much larger space at the Beverly Center Mall. The only caveat? We were in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. Many of his peers and family questioned his decision. Why take such a risk? He could have stayed tucked away in the Fashion District where he had a loyal customer base and booming e-commerce operation. He held private shopping experiences and store hours operated on an appointment-only basis. Moving into a mall required an increased staff that would keep his business open 7 days a week, 10 hours a day. Not to mention the buildout costs, increased rent and expanded inventory. Beverly Center is located in the heart of America’s television and film industries, minutes away from the affluent neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, West Hollywood and West Los Angeles. Over 4,000 registered fashion stylists routinely buy product at Beverly Center for use in TV and movies. In September of 2021, Jeremy opened his doors to this new demographic. His sales quickly accelerated and by the end of the year, he doubled his sales from the year prior. Jeremy is only one or two black-owned businesses in Beverly Center. This episode celebrates his rise to success and becoming a father.
