Walter T. Mudu received degrees in both Illustration and Advertising
Communications from the Fashion Institute of Technology by 1991. After
several unfulfilling jobs in the advertising industry, he started his artists
management company in the fall of 1992. Because of Mr. Mudu's desire to
give back to the urban youth, he began facilitating poetry and business
workshops at several New York City intermediate and high schools in 1994.
He has worked with community youth organizations such as El Puente
Learning Academy and the Caribbean Cultural Center. To keep his company
on the bleeding edge of urban discovery and to keep the artists he
represented showcasing their talent, Mr. Mudu began organizing poetry and
hip hop showcases in 1992. National and international performances are now
booked through Mudu MultiMedia featuring talent from Russell Simmons
presents HBO's Def Poetry, Def Poetry on Broadway, the Vibe Khameleons,
the Dave Chappelle Show, Vibe Magazine, various television spots and other
aspiring underground urban artists across the country.
