AKA / PR QUEEN

Adrienne Lillette Harris is known to her colleagues and peers as “The PR Queen or Social Wiz of the Media Biz.” She is the Founder and Chief Creative Officer of PR Queen Global with PR division F.A.M.E. Multimedia Group. (Family Affair Media Enterprise)
 

The company is based in New York with satellite offices in Columbia Maryland and Orlando FL. and provides services to Music, Theater, TV and Film entities.  Adrienne brings a thirty plus year background in the entertainment industry as a Producer, Businesswoman, Music Publicist, Digital Media consultant, and Media Strategist.  The company has implemented or assisted in Publicity and/or promotional campaigns for artists such as Rock and Roll Diva Cher, the late Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys, British Soul Singer Joss Stone and many other emerging and established artists. The company has also worked on promotional strategies for Athletes, Television and Broadway celebrities as well.

Adrienne was born in Santa Monica, California to a celebrity show business couple and raised in Queens, New York.… Adrienne graduated from New York University, studied at The New York Academy of Dramatic Arts, and The Herbert Berghoff HB Studios. She was inspired to pursue a career in Public Relations by some of the best in the business. This includes but is not limited to the Queen of Broadway press agents, Irene Gandy, Iconic theatrical producer Jeffrey Richards, and PR Marketing Wiz Steve Manning. (who was responsible for much of Michael Jackson’s early success)  

Adrienne’s big PR break came in 1988 when she was chosen by a client to direct the Mid-Atlantic region Media and Radio campaign for R&B maestro himself Mr. Barry White. 

 

She then went on to secure recording and production deals for R&B, Hip Hop and Pop artists. There were times when she would fill in as acting manager until artists were signed to professional management companies. A choice few artists that Adrienne help get signed are household names today. During the 1990s while working on her PR skills she co-owned and operated four consecutive Nightclubs in Brooklyn and Queens New York with then-husband Panamanian entrepreneur Gustavo Mendoza.  He was the cousin and personal manager to the legendary boxer, Roberto Duran.  Adrienne handled all business for the establishments including entertainment bookings, artist contracts, marketing, and all hospitality.

As the years went on Adrienne traveled with many of her clients around the globe in the capacity of Press Agent and Crisis Communications Director. In 2008 she started researching the careers of her father Actor/Comedian and Entrepreneur Bud Harris and her mother Concert Pianist/ Entertainer Lillette Harris. It was then that she discovered an article that changed everything, the 1945 Pittsburgh Courier news article about Lillette’s Rhythm Club the first Black-owned and operated Casino, Nightclub and Hotel in Sparks-Reno Nevada. Adrienne started writing the script and the stage musical is currently in the workshop phase with previews garnering rave reviews.

​

FAME Multimedia is working with PBS-TV on the documentary version of Lillette’s Rhythm Club with an award-winning team that include Creative Director, Singer/ Actress Mary Seymour, and New York Film Producer/Writer Marishka Shanice Phillips.
