Today we’d like to introduce you to Deboreah “Reah” Ross.
Hi Deboreah “Reah”, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started interviewing Baltimore music artists in 2021 and working in nightlife after connecting with Drea England, business consultant and manager of Baltimore rapper “President Davo”. My first door girl opportunities were for 88 Events and eventually expanded, allowing me to be booked by other figures in nightlife. I’d been able to leverage my experience at the door to connect with more Baltimore artists. I’ve worked with She’s at the Door, Dae 103, 856 Chris, Tye Cox, and more. Most notably, my time at the door opened a lane for my latest endeavor–Tiktok. My short-form content provides Baltimore residents and visitors with updates on where they can find popular parties. The premise of my content is that our city is so small, people tend to cluster. You must know where people are clustering and I’m the plug.
I now have a platform that encompasses Youtube interviews and vlogs, TikTok videos, and a blog with articles centered-around Baltimore, entrepreneurship, creative economy, and nightlife.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been smooth. I struggle with scaling my team and platform. As a working professional, balancing content creation, both long- and short-form, along with my 9-5 has been a constant struggle for me. Working late nights can add to the challenge and artists can be difficult to book. However, I am truly passionate about the content-matter and it keeps me going.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Gallereah is my personal brand in the digital space, offering a blog, Youtube Channel, and marketing services for small brands. My TikTok is most popular and particularly focuses on nightlife in Baltimore. I’ve worked with promoters, small creators, service providers, and fashion brands on initiatives to further establish their brands. From email campaigns to quick iPhone photos for social media, and promotion on my TikTok, I use the skills I acquired in school to fill the gap for entrepreneurs.
I’m most proud of my relationships with the promoters in Baltimore City. They’re all different and bring something great to a city that is often subject to misperception.
