George Twopointoh

George Twopointoh is an entrepreneurial entertainer, a master of ceremonies, a brand ambassador, an actor, a writer, a producer and a DJ with over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry. His ability to close the gap between the Idea and the Execution is what led to his founding of his production company, Listen TWO Me.

With George serving as Director of Creative Operations, Listen TWO Me has partnered with well identified brands such as Hendrick's Gin, T mobile and Genworth Financial to bring their products to audiences in distinct ways. A proud graduate of historic Morehouse College, George is an accomplished actor. He has appeared on both the small and big screen, as well as on stage as the star of his own one man show, "Any1Man"-- a portrait about black masculinity. You may have also seen George 2.0 appearing as an on air contributor for Headline News (HLN). 

As Stage Manager and MC for Janelle Monáe and her Wondaland Records Label, George spends his days engaged with some of the most innovative professionals in the industry, modeling and developing new ways for people to use their imaginations to create live show experiences.

Over the past few years, George 2.0 honed his skills as an MC, hosting events all over the country and around the world. A man of many hats, he most recently stepped into a new role as DJ for Wondaland Record's own "Classic Man", Jidenna.  

George 2.0 is a renaissance man, constantly reinventing himself. Says George, "The most important thing an artist can provide for an audience is a sort of verisimilitude and a reflection of themselves."
