Hailing from Lansing, Michigan, Martone Williams is often referred to as an impassioned visionary who is poised to become one of the most recognized names in the entertainment industry. Williams’ introduction into the entertainment spotlight happened at age seven when he was cast as part of a televised Christmas at his elementary school, Morris River Drive Elementary. The initial feedback from the audience cemented his love for the stage and entertainment in general. His newfound passion for entertainment also served as a much-needed escape from the bullying that he experienced between the ages of seven and fifteen. After that performance he wanted more. At the age of thirteen, he enrolled in Continental Cable Visions’s Public Access producers’ course. He was the youngest person to enroll and complete the producer’s certification program. Less than a year later he created, produced and hosted Video Control, a music video program that was broadcast on the public access network. By the third year the show had become syndicated and could be seen by viewers located in such prominent cities such as Phoenix, New York City, and Cincinnati. The show’s thirteen-year run allowed Williams the opportunity to interview up-and-coming vocalists, musicians and rappers including Will Smith, Queen Latifah, Envogue, Vanilla Ice, and Public Enemy; all of whom would later become some of the most recognizable and famous names in R&B and Hip Hop music. After the conclusion of Video Control, Williams began to question his passion for broadcasting and entertainment and decided to take a hiatus that he felt was required in order to refocus his energy. Williams rededicated himself to his passion for the industry after a seven-year hiatus and decided to relocate to Detroit, Michigan to enroll in the Specs Howard School of Broadcast Arts. While in attendance he received additional training in television and radio production and promotions. In April of 2007, Williams founded Enotram Entertainment, Inc. Serving as the creative hub for all of his multimedia productions, Enotram Entertainment began to focus its efforts on producing original radio and television broadcast material. The company’s flagship production, Industry Revue, is an entertainment news show focusing on the latest entertainment news as well as providing one-on-one interviews with some of the entertainment industry’s most versatile and established artists. The show is currently in its second season of broadcasting and can be heard daily as an internet radio show as well as a weekly internet television series. Williams’ penchant for booking guests has resulted in appearances by various entertainers such as such as Kate Linder (Young and The Restless), T’keyah Crystal Keymáh (In Living Color, Cosby, and That’s So Raven), Kurtis Blow (Hip Hop Pioneer), CeCe Peniston (singer), and Aundrus Poole (Friday Night Lights). Other shows on the Enotram Entertainment roster include The Chad Report and the biographical bi-weekly series entitled In Session. On December 31, 2011, Williams relaunched Industry Revue.com as the premier website for connecting entertainment professionals with up-and-coming entertainers. Members will have an opportunity to create profiles, upload multimedia material (such as music, photos and videos), and interact directly with other professionals within the entertainment industry. Enotram Entertainment, inc. is has assembled a powerhouse team of like-minded and talented professionals that creates the synergy required to help position the company as a global leader in original entertainment programming for both the internet and traditional broadcast mediums.
