Young Nizer: Driven for Success

America's Historically Black Universities house some of the nation's most talented young adults. These institutions are especially prestigious for their Media and Performing Arts departments and young goal-oriented students like Kenneth Nizer Jr. are the exact reason why.
Kenneth Nizer Jr., in his freshmen year, became immediately involved in the campus life at Clark Atlanta University. To utilize his vast talents and skills, such as, writing music, dancing acting, and journalism, etc., Nizer joined House Arrest 2 Championship Dance Team, Inc. With House Arrest, Nizer was able to write for national newsletters and still find time to grace the stage with his impressive dance moves and remarkable acting abilities.
In his matriculation through Clark Atlanta University, Kenneth Nizer Jr. is still active in his love for performing arts. He has joined the AUC Drama Ministry, where he has been an active member for the past month.
Nizer has great passion for performance art, however, he does not dream of flashing lights and stardom. Rather than be the star of the show, he would like to have the ever demanding job of creating those stars. Kenneth Nizer Jr. dreams to work for big name record labels as an A&R agent, working in artist development.
This dream is surely becoming a reality for Nizer, being that he has already made many career paving encounters with artists such as, Keri Hilson, Ludacris, Fantasia, and Ciara, to name a few. Nizer credits these encounters to his godfather, Jayshawn Champion, who is a songwriter, writing songs for big name artists; Omarion, Faith Evans, Mario, and even the all too well known, R. Kelly. One of Nizer's greatest successes is that he is already working A&R for EMI.
In all of his accomplishments, Kenneth Nizer Jr is observably driven for success. When asked what he has profited from these experiences he gave a very modest, yet admirable response; "I've profited a lot of personal growth and change for the better. And most importantly, I gained more confidence within myself."
