Today we’d like to introduce you to Kimberly Jones, of Pres. 5th Amendment Entertainment, AVP Cash Money West, Kimberly L. Jones Consulting.
Kimberly Jones is a savvy music executive, self-taught serial entrepreneur, business strategist, humanitarian and bonafide hustler that embodies the self-sufficient spirit and tenacious work ethic of the independent artists she signs and manages. The self-proclaimed “businesswoman in the background that gets the job done” is the current president of Fifth Amendment Entertainment, which has a joint venture with Entertainment One [eOne] Music, vice president of Blood Money Entertainment, and the assistant vice president of Ca$h Money West, a division of Ca$h Money Records.
Under Kimberly’s leadership, Fifth Amendment Entertainment is responsible for releasing and distributing the last four full-length albums by chart-topping, Grammy-nominated rapper The Game. She is gearing up to release the debut major label project from rapper Blueface in February 2019 via Ca$h Money West. Running the day-to-day operations of each imprint along with her childhood sweetheart-turned-husband, Cash “Wack 100” Jones, Kimberly also oversees Fifth Amendment Management: booking tours, handling A&R and producers agreements, overseeing contracts and managing the label roster.
Kimberly began her career in the music business by co-founding Fifth Amendment Entertainment in 2008 as a management company presiding over entertainer and entrepreneur Ray J’s various music projects. While managing Ray J., Kimberly was also handling concert promotions throughout the Los Angeles area in partnership with Live Nation.
The youngest of four children in a single parent home, Kimberly gained a knack for creating lanes and opportunities when they didn’t exist. By day the Los Angeles native and teenage parent worked a slew of 9-to-5 jobs. By night, Kimberly frequented and networked at various music industry events. The DIY maven decided to leave her day job in 2016 to concentrate on the music business, and her side hustles full-time.
Kimberly and her husband continue to keep irons in the fire outside of music. She co-owns and operates an auto logistics company, Precise Auto Transport, and co-owns numerous real estate properties. The mother of a 24-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter has also launched her nonprofit organization, Spiritually Provoked, and is expanding her insights and expertise into life coaching for independent artists and aspiring business owners. In June 2019, the go-getter and disruptor will co-launch NCredible Diapers, the first minority-owned baby diaper company-of-record in a licensing agreement with entertainer Nick Cannon’s NCredible imprint.
Kimberly’s mission is to encourage and empower visionaries to take ownership of their goals and make them profitable and fulfilling. Kimberly still resides in Los Angeles. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram @sheboss100.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Being a woman in a male-dominated business has not been a smooth road. The struggle has been having to prove that I am capable of fulfilling an executive position. Although I have a bachelors degree, my degree did not train or prepare me for my position.
For every position that I have earned, I became a self-taught serial entrepreneur, business strategist, and humanitarian. The struggle was having to be self-sufficient and keeping my spirits up whether I received support or not…
