A 27 year entertainment industry
veteran, Larry Brahms began his career in the music industry having held
various management positions for leading record and entertainment
management firms including: TK Records (credited as one of the
innovators of the disco movement, produced such acts as KC & The
Sunshine Band, George McCrae and Foxy) and TDI Management (a
worldwide management representation firm for such headliners as The
Village People, The Richie Family, Celi Bee, Dorothy Moore among
others). In 1984 Brahms decided to capitalize on the aerobic
fitness craze and with the aid of two partners, he developed the fitness
concept Freedance (the marketing story of the mid-eighties and one
of the most successful fitness videos of the year on the Billboard
charts). Also MTI was born and became and operating division of
Brahm's new company And More Entertainment Corp. In '87 And More
Entertainment entered the realm of record production, manufacturing and
distribution with the new Miami sound explosion releasing various hits on AME
records. Through AME's consulting divisions TDI, Brahms was
instrumental in taking Atlantic Records artist Debbie Gibson to the
position of top five on Billboard's pop charts. In the 90's Brahms
and his wife and partner Claudia, made the transition from music into the
ever-changing video industry, expanding into direct acquisition of
independent theatrical and direct to video product. By establishing
unique distribution relationships with other independent labels under its
banner, Brahms has positioned MTI Home Video and its studio partners as
one of the fastest growing and uniquely diverse home entertainment
companies in the industry.
