Brooke Payne reflects on building New Edition from the ground up, developing Boyz II Men into complete performers, and creating the blueprint for what a successful R&B group looks like—from talent and personality to stage presence and showmanship. In this episode, Payne shares the story of discovering young talent in Boston, shaping groups through discipline and performance training, and the philosophy that separates performers from true entertainers. From early beginnings at the Boys Club to working with some of the biggest names in music, this is a look at the vision and leadership behind some of the most iconic acts of all time.
