FOUNDER & ARTIST MANAGER

Dolphus@Ramseur.com

Davidson, NC

Dolphus Ramseur was born and reared in Concord, NC. As a child, his father put him on a healthy music diet of classic country, folk, and early rock-n-roll. His early years were spent with one main goal in life: to not work in the local cotton mill. His love of tennis and music mixed with an education in the school of hard knocks helped him achieve this goal. As a true product of his environment, Ramseur enjoyed the piedmont section of North Carolina's rich blue collar palette of stock car racing, pro wrestling, religion, and music that moves the needle. He is now trying to make the world a mix-tape with his record label and music management company.

Lisette@Ramseur.com

Fayetteville, NC

Lisette’s love of music started at a young age after her parents exposed her to a wide variety of different genres. Everything from Queen to Bach, to Michael Jackson, Evanescence, Frank Sinatra, and everything in between. During her teens, she was an avid attendee of rock concerts and events like Vans Warped Tour during the peak of the 2000’s pop punk, rock, and alternative era. Those life changing experiences led to her taking up electric guitar, piano, singing, and songwriting. Her interest in the music industry and all things media flourished at Catawba College, where she earned a Bachelor’s of Arts with a double major in Popular Music and Music Business in 2019.

She grew up with the desire of serving others and expected to later work in the healthcare field. She always knew she loved music, but it wasn’t until she experienced her first Avett Brothers concert at Red Rocks that she realized she wanted to serve others in a different way; through music. One month after graduating from East Carolina University in 2019, she followed her love of music into a career with Ramseur. Morgan now resides in Nashville, TN with her husband Dustin.
