Sound. Vision. Story.

Founded in 1990, JMI Entertainment (James Mckindly Inc.) has stood as a fully independent production and distribution company at the intersection of music, film, television, streaming, consulting, and all that applies. With roots that run deep in the entertainment industry and a reputation built on experience and innovation, JMI continues to shape what’s next while honoring where it all began.

At the helm is Jim “Jay” Chevious, a visionary music executive, producer, and creative strategist with a career spanning over [number] years. His impact on the music world is undeniable, having collaborated with major labels such as Universal, Sony, Capitol, Motown/Bungalo, Orpheus, Warner Bros., RCA, Interscope, and Light/Qwest, and securing chart-topping singles and albums on the Billboard Top 20. With his leadership, JMI evolved beyond music to expand into film, television, streaming, and broader consulting services, positioning the company as a trusted partner to some of the biggest platforms and networks in the world — including Netflix, BET, etc.

JMI operates through two distinct but connected creative divisions:

• Brodantre, which develops and distributes scripted and unscripted content across TV, film, and streaming platforms. From original IP to strategic co-productions, Brodantre is where powerful stories are shaped for the screen.

• Inderoc, the music arm of JMI, which continues to discover, produce, and distribute genre-defining sound, while supporting artists, sync opportunities, and industry partnerships.

Throughout the years, JMI has remained independent — by choice — allowing for creative control, flexible collaborations, and a commitment to projects that align with both purpose and cultural relevance. We’ve built long-term relationships with studios, artists, distributors, and fellow producers by focusing on the work — not the noise — and delivering results that resonate.

As we move forward, JMI is focused on growing our slate across all divisions, identifying new talent, and continuing to work with major industry players who share our values. Whether it's developing a pilot, distributing an album, or consulting on a new journey , our mission remains the same:

To bring stories and sound to life — with meaning, strategy, and impact.
