Joseph Dukes (Founder/Manager)
How it all came to be
I have been doing music for quite some time. Within that time I have seen the ups and downs of music within the local scene. I feel local entertainment is greatly undervalued due to the lack of generated revenue produced. HI Administration has been created to give everyone an opportunity.
​
HI Administration will allow each artist to have a manager that will help coach them as they navigate through the music business industry. Distributing music, music business classes, performing local/national/worldwide will all be the responsibility of the Manger with the help of our promoters.
​
Focusing on the artist, managers and promoters will be the difference between HI Administration and other entertainment platforms. Our goal is to bring artist to stages. Anyone can become a manager or promoter as long as they have the passion for music and a keen sense of care for the artist.
Work History
2020-2021
Radio Podcasting Personal
Conducting events became more and more difficult during the pandemic. Yet, I couldn't do nothing. As a radio/podcast personal I was able to still focus on the people without interaction.
2015-2018
Event Hosting
Once I begin to understand how performances worked, I realized that artist can get the short end of the stick. Determined to change the way artist were represented forced me to begin my own event planning.
A few of venues I have planned events at are:
-
The Zodiac Bar
-
Bar K
-
Tony's
-
A few venues and bars in Denver, CO
2024 - Current
HI Administration Owner
I have seen the ins and outs of not only music but business as well. Throughout my time of witnessing how others are willing to do business I figured that I would come up with my own business model. I want to give myself and others the opportunity to take music and make it as marketable as McDonalds food chain. Every bar, every party, every special occasion could use musical talent; Let HI Administration provide your local/national/worldwide entertainment.
2013- 2015
Open Mic Performances

Among a few of the venues I have performed are:
-
The V Bar
-
Smoke Easy Vape Lounge
