ABOUT MATHEW KNOWLES

Who is Mathew Knowles?

Here's what you need to know...

In essence, Mathew Knowles has always been a man who's defied the odds and believed in his ability to bring his dreams to life. 

That belief would change the course of the entertainment industry, and leave a mark on popular culture in a way that few have ever dared to conceive in their minds, let alone attempt to bring to fruition.

After all, few can boast beginning their lives walking down a dirt road in Alabama to walking down the red carpet at the Grammys while defying the odds of segregation.

From his early days as a record-breaking sales professional, to music industry titan, to author, professor and entrepreneur, to his current focus in film and television, Mathew Knowles holds many titles, but perhaps his greatest accomplishment is his ability to help others see the potential in themselves.

It's not about the music, the books, the awards or speeches, it's about helping others discover what's possible when you live your passion.
