In the world of music and entertainment, the name Johnnie Cabbell is as well-known as the public figures he represents. This trail blazing music mogul originally born and raised in Ohio is setting the bar when it comes to artist management and development. As CEO of Global Vision Talent Agency; he has over two decades of experience booking shows, navigating careers and generating lucrative opportunities for his diverse clientele. Over the years, his roster has included legendary hip hop acts such as Crime Mob, D4L and the late Shawty Lo, all of whom he groomed from entertaining in neighborhood clubs to performing on global stages, hence the company moniker.
Cabbell started out as an artist himself in a group called N Take. The group garnered a local buzz where they traveled throughout the southeastern region for shows, which afforded him the opportunity to learn the business side of the industry. A quick study, Cabbell realized it was more lucrative for him to be behind the desk instead of the mic. Because of his love for music and acting, he always knew that he wanted to do more. The business side happened to really catch his attention and from there, he found his niche. He transitioned from artist to executive with ease and began operating under the arc of Hitt Afta Hitt. The ambitious entrepreneur, seemingly overnight, gained a reputation for breaking artists in the same cities as he once toured in.
With his extensive industry relationships and negotiating power, Johnnie became known as the go-to man amongst independent rappers. He eventually joined forces with Debra Antney of Mizay Entertainment, who at the time managed hiphop icons Gucci Mane, Nicki Minaj, Wacka Flocka Flame and OJ The Juiceman. The dynamic pair oversaw all aspects of booking and promoting global and regional concert tours and music events. As a superb businessman, Cabbell transitioned into television and film with the launch of HAH TV Network (Hitt Afta Hitt) that specialized in creating original content and programming that centered around his artists. His masterful communication skills and jovial personality led him to acting in a number of movie projects including the Birds of a Feather franchise alongside multi- platinum and Grammy-winning music producer Zaytoven.
