Kevin Rouse, Don Derbigny & Artris Leftage, Masters of Soirees

Kevin Rouse was born and raised in Detroit, MI He knew early on that in some way promoting and selling was going to be a big part of his life. Kevin began his promoting career in the early '90s In Northridge CA, Promoting major Fight Parties. Kevin also had a Career in the Hotel Business. I was given an assignment by the General Manager as the Food & Beverage Manager to bring Live Jazz music to the Bel Age Hotel's Ten20. This grew into a major Jazz Venue off Sunset Strip where many a-list artists performed. Stevie Wonder, Gerald Levert, Bobby Brown, Lou Rawls. We were packed every Monday and Friday. It was here that I met and began business relationships with many of Los Angeles's most Successful Event Promoters. I let them use the hotel space for their events while hosting my own as well. Over the years I've been a part of several spectacular Los Angeles events, to name a few. The Gatsby Jazz Festival in Malibu on the Malibu Country Club Golf Course, The All-Black Party hosted at the Private Los Angeles Athletic Club, Several All Black (in attire that is) Parties hosted at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. LA Nights...Live variety events spotlighting Comedians, Live Music, and the Best DJs, Big City Jazz Long Beach, Fashion Shows, Christian plays, and Celebrity Birthday Parties. I've been at it for over 30 years and still going strong.
