Johnny “BJ” King, (born March 8, 1968), is from Pasadena, California. A
former student of John Muir high school which is known for a number of
notable graduates such as baseball legend Jackie Robinson, Van Halen
front man David Lee Roth, Olympic Gold Medalist Inger Miller and NBA
Stars Stacey Augmon and Jacque Vaughn to name a few.
After having been exposed to the fast life at a very young age he found
himself placed in a position upon which he ultimately ended up spending
nearly four years in a state prison.
A young father and determined to change his life, BJ decided to pursue his
passion for music. A chance meeting with American Mogul, Entrepreneur
and Iconic Rap Producer Andre “Dr. Dre” Young was the headway to him
becoming Young’s right hand man.
King, one of the founding members of Death Row Records, remained with
the company for nearly a decade. Which lead to him becoming
instrumental in developing some of the artists and concepts that helped
West Coast rap gain its notoriety?
After a brief hiatus, BJ began his most prized endeavor to date which was
the launch of The Cure Entertainment company, which has since been
renamed The Cure Network, in addition to working as a consultant for
three of the more notable record labels in the United States.
In 2011 BJ began his venture into the television and film industry after
discovering, while in the music industry, that he had an uncanny knack for
storytelling and an unsurpassed vision for movies and films.
His first debut is a short feature film entitled “Pull”, which is based on a
true story and tells the tale of his own son. The story takes place in Los
Angeles and chronicles the life events of a father who was well connected,
respected and loved within his community, and his son who is being kept
alive by the “Pull” of his father after being accused of a horrendous crime.
BJ King believes that it is his responsibility to tell the stories that other
filmmakers have not told. He plans to bridge the gap between the film
and music industry and produce new talent while inspiring others to
realize that “success and all of the things you desire are not out of reach”.
BJ King and The Cure Network intends to leave a huge legacy, and solidify a mark in the entertainment industry, fulfilling his life’s purpose by blazing through uncharted territories. Brace Yourself!!

Director Biography
Danielle L. Ross
Danielle L. Ross is a Pasadena, CA native. Outside of her dreams of wanting to become an
Astronaut, she has always loved the cinema and after an impressive five feature films, her love
still remains. Danielle paid her dues as a PA on a number of big budget studio films and
television shows which left her wanting more. Danielle's desire to create lead her to decide
early in her career to take the independent route. In 2001 she opted to launch Southern Peach
Entertainment along with her mother and business partner Stephanie Cunningham. Together in
2003 they produced and financed the short film "Hindsight" which later on became the feature
film "Voyeur In Hindsight". Danielle credits a willing group of young artists, determination, and
the "school of hard knocks" for her ability to achieve the seemingly impossible. In 2005,
Danielle added the credit of Award-Winning Producer to her list of accomplishments with the
success of the comedy feature "Ganked". Her first two directorial debuts, "He Who Finds A
Wife" and "Voyeur In Hindsight", screened at the prestigious Pan African Film & Arts Festival in
Los Angeles to sold out audiences in 2007. As a result, in 2010 she took on the challenge of
producing the sequel to the fan favorite, "He Who Finds a Wife 2: Thou Shall Not Covet". In
2011 she produced the action short film "Pull", and completed her fifth feature film, the
romantic comedy "Back Then" which she wrote, directed, and produced about growing up in
her hometown of Pasadena.
