Meet The Teachers - June Archer - AUDIO
Update: 2020-09-24
Description
WWVOICES is excited to have June Archer as an instructor starting January 2021. His Master Class, The “Business” of Arts and Entertainment will take Hartford student behind the scenes of the music industry to understand the daily work involved with launching a successful music artist and project. Below is June’s Bio.
June first emerged on the music scene in 1995 as a member of the Elektra Records recording group Room Service. The group achieved radio and video success with the singles “Ain’t Nothing Wrong” and “Stay”, but he realized it was the business that drove him. Shortly after the group disbanded in 2000, June reconnected with executives and mentors who previously guided him while in the group and he gained insight into the business of music. These experiences solidified June’s conviction that having an undeniable impact on the entertainment industry was his calling.
He has also received RIAA Certification Plaques for Platinum selling works on albums by Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Mario and Gold selling work for Hitch movie soundtrack. He has also been honored by the NAACP as one of the “100 Most influential Blacks in Connecticut”.
June has been the recipient of many honors recognizing all his efforts within his home community of Hartford, CT including “June Archer Day” and “Hot Chocolate Soul Day”. The Mayor, along with the Governor of The State of Connecticut, acknowledges “100 Men of Color Day” in both the city of Hartford and State of Connecticut. Surprised by the board of “100 Men of Color”, June was also awarded for Community Service. Just recently, he was humbled at The 30th Annual State Capitol Martin Luther King Jr. Day Ceremony with The Martin Luther King, Jr. Award (2016). He has also been awarded for his community service by the “Connecticut Chapter of Men and Women for Justice, Inc” (2013), the “Walk Worthy Award” for community service (2010) and the “Caribbean Heritage Award (2010)”
