Brandon Pankey’s Music-Centric Video Network APEX to launch Sept. 16
Entertainment executive Brandon Pankey recently announced the launch of Artist Presented Experiences (APEX), a new AVOD video network dedicated to programming curated for and by music artists. APEX will offer viewers diverse, artist-centric content, starring and produced by some of the industry’s most influential and sought-after talent, to create original scripted, unscripted, and licensed programming. The network is scheduled to launch on September 16th. For more information about APEX, please visit https://watchapex.com
Powered by Quantasy + Associates, an award-winning brand services agency with deep expertise in technology and entertainment, the network’s unique model for content creation makes APEX the only network where artists and production partners can deliver their unfiltered creative vision, directly to their fans.
“Artists are some of the greatest storytellers,” commented APEX founder Brandon Pankey. “I’ve envisioned a network where the next Power, A Star is Born, or Friday, could all coexist in one space for artists of all genres of music. APEX allows that vision to become a reality by offering a compelling mix of scripted and unscripted programming that uniquely positions the platform as one of the first artist-focused networks in the market.” Pankey is currently Live Nation Urban’s VP of Business Development & Operations.
The initial slate of original programming includes Raedio Presents The Playback executive produced by Benoni Tagoe and Morgan Davis, On The Record, an artist interview series hosted and Executive Produced by Stacey Muhammad (Peacock's The Best Man: Final Chapters, OWN’s Queen Sugar, Amazon Prime's Harlem) and Marc Lamont Hill, SuperShorts by Sean Famoso (Co-Founder, LVRN), These Are Our Brothers, a short film executive produced by Page Wilson and Amira Smith and starring Niatia "Lil Mama" Kirkland and Keraun Harris, Oldhead: The Movie, a feature length film executive produced by Tony Chennault and Joshua Meekins of MikeJay Films, and scripted comedy series Help Wanted from the mind of up and coming creative Max Smith.
