About the Author

June Archer

JUNE ARCHER / BIO June Archer may have gotten his first exposure to the music scene behind the mic, but he has realized his dream by successfully impacting the industry behind the scenes. June's name first emerged on the music scene in 1995 as a member of the STARCYDE/ELEKTRA recording group ROOM SERVICE. The group achieved radio and video success with the singles "Ain't Nothing Wrong," and "Stay," but it was the business that drove him to pursue a career as an executive. Committed to giving back, he devotes a significant amount of time speaking with teens and young adults about music, but also about the importance of education. June is a staunch advocate in the fight against AIDS, as well as the race to find a cure for breast cancer. Each year, he produces the annual "JUNE ARCHER'S Celebration Of Life" charity event, the proceeds of which benefit various organizations involved in these two worthy causes. At the 11th Annual June Archer's Celebration of Life 2008 the Mayor of the City of Hartford proclaimed it "June Archer Day" in the City of Hartford for recognizing all his efforts in the City of Hartford and beyond. He is also the creator and producer of "Hot Chocolate Soul", the longest running performance showcase of its kind that provides a platform for singers, musicians and spoken word artists at The Bushnell Theater Center For The Performing Arts located in Hartford, CT. With June's combined musical talents, experience in the entertainment industry and commitment to community, he is reaching for the stars and encouraging others to join him. "No goal is ever out of reach," June says. "Once you've realized your dream, that doesn't mean you stop. It just means you dream bigger." This Fall he will add author to those titles with the release of his book Yes! Every Day Can Be A Good Day (The Keys To Success That Lead To An Amazing Life)Current position:President & CEO / Eleven28 Entertainment Group, LLC
