AVL’s Battlegrounds Series wears MANY different hats within the live entertainment industry.
Since it’s inception in May of 2016, the brand “AVL” has acted as an umbrella of live-entertainment events ranging from the mountains of Asheville to the bustling venues of Downtown Raleigh, plus collaborations with various festivals in the Triangle. John and his team have executed over 15 AVL shows, typically centered around competitive a cappella lyricism. Musical performances include showings from Grammy nominated producer D.R.U.G.S Beats, as well as performances from other nationally acclaimed artists.
“John Wilson is a former Beaumonde intern and the current sovereign mind powering AVL, one of North Carolina's finest hip-hop events.”
- Shep Bryan, Beaumonde co-founder
The biggest professional take-away from AVL’s Battlegrounds series is John’s consistency and persistence within the market. 15 events is essentially 15 projects that have included an unmeasurable amount of challenge and obstacles, which called for level-headed problem solving, risk management and tough decision-making, all within acute deadlines and budgets.
