Armani Jones

LoveGrooves
CEO


First and foremost, Armani Jones enjoys the role of being an entertainer.

Armani has used his education in communications, human behavior and life experience to place his company, LoveGrooves Productions, where it is today. "It is not easy. I have had to overcome many challenges of being one of the few Black people in the PNW trying to promote primarily Black comedy shows. I have had to make things approachable and make my product undeniable for the masses to reach and touch.

I want the world to know a boy from Grand Rapids, MI traveled from state to state, taking every opportunity to be The Best Person, The Best Entertainer, The Best Businessman and most importantly, The Best Father. I have always wanted more in life. I know I'm here to manifest a greater future with the strength of God blessing me with the ability to grow my Company."
 
Armani wants LoveGrooves to be the best production company. "We are all about 'The Love and Grooves'. Love is Laughter and Laughter is Love. If you are laughing you are in love with your life. That means you feel the emotions of life”

In the near future you can find Armani Jones self-promoting LoveGrooves Big Time Comedy Production in a city or state near you. For the latest listing, please follow him on IG.
