A new local TV show that will be exposing talent from the dayton area called \u201cRoyce \u2018Tha Prince\u2019 TV\u201d has been written, edited and produced by one of Sinclair Community College\u2019s students, Royce Johnson.<\/p>\n
Johnson, an English major and aspiring film director, is the host of the show and has been working with his team on the project for a year. He said the show will be hosted from his Uncle\u2019s clothing store \u201cThe Neighborhood Store\u201d and will feature behind the scenes music videos, local artists, poets, musicians, models and aspiring actors.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just exposure, nothing specific. It\u2019s the first season so I\u2019m sure by the second season I will have a little bit more behind it. My groups have opened up for a few Grammy nominated artists and all of that footage will on there,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI will be showing the segments and also bringing in guests to sit and talk about their projects. I\u2019m all about exposing the positive in people.\u201d<\/p>\n
An exact date has not yet been set but Johnson said it is expected to run in the next couple months. The show will be aired on DATV, Channel 5. The company Johnson started is called \u201cRoyce \u2018Tha Prince\u2019 Literature. Its tagline is \u201c\u2026it\u2019s bigger than storytelling\u2026\u201d which Johnson said, means that his writing is all about real life experiences and staying away from fantasy tales.<\/p>\n
\u201cI enjoy working with everybody. Everybody brings a different element,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI guess that\u2019s why our group is so well put together. They have their own personalities and they love working with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the summer, Johnson filmed an opening act by Grand Time Central (GTC) for Gucci Mane. GTC has a single out called \u201cGrind til\u2019 I get it\u201d which Johnson said is one of the mottos behind his company.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking hard until we get to where we want to be,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cI like to throw in there, \u2018preparation plus opportunity equals success.\u2019 That\u2019s definitely a motto I live by.\u201d<\/p>\n
Considering himself a humble person who puts others needs before his wants, Johnson said his job fits him perfectly because everything he does is behind the scenes. He said none of it would have been possible though without the support of his team.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tough job starting off. Luckily my team around me supports me. We are all putting in to pay for a camera,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s coming together pretty well though. Every two weeks is another date, another performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Johnson, born and raised in Dayton, said he has always dreamed about being a film director and is working hard to make those dreams a reality. If they don\u2019t work out though, his next choice would be to teach.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always been a dream chaser. When I was younger I had trouble sleeping and<\/p>\n
I would think of random scenarios in my head and then put them together; and it was a movie,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cMy ultimate dream is really just to help my family, as well as set a positive influence for the youth. I think that\u2019s very important.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of his other goals is to start help mentoring and tutoring children. From about the fourth grade on are detrimental years that decide whether someone will go down the wrong path and he wants to help prevent that from happening, he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeach them communication,\u201d Johnson said.\u201d If you can\u2019t communicate with them then there\u2019s almost no hope for helping them; and a lot of the times it\u2019s listening more than talking.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said that the sky is the limit for his company though and he\u2019s excited about the direction it\u2019s going in. One of the teams Johnson collaborates with and will be featured on the show is #1913 and he said the story behind their name says it all.<\/p>\n
\u201c#1913 was the year the great flood hit the Miami Valley. And that\u2019s our plan – to flood the area, the state and the country with great music and talent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
