This father and son dynamic duo are bringing faith (spirituality), positivity and love to the entertainment industry. With a mantra of “edifying entertainment” spearheading their journey, Serving The Peace is definitely a fitting name for this company. Hamilton Ford (or Thomas Stokes) {a former banking professional} is the father at the helm and his son Ashante “PT” Stokes (AKA PTtheGospelspitter) as a partial partner, flagship international charting artist and award winning filmmaker on the roster for the company. We had an opportunity to sit down with the dynamic duo to give you the inside scoop directly from Serving The Peace.
Promediabank: Let’s get right to it guys. What is Serving The Peace?
Serving The Peace: (Hamilton or Thomas) Serving The Peace is an entertainment company that impacts the music and film industry. We began building nearly 10 years ago as a side hustle for me but full-time for PT initially with our music label and publishing. The last 4 years I have joined him full-time as we have fully transitioned our music business line and developed our film work into a boutique production house. Our production wheelhouse for all our business lines focuses primarily on faith/gospel. We also provide music services for artists along with assistance in film distribution for filmmakers. (PT) Each day consumers make decisions on what they listen to or watch while they work, play and relax. Those decisions are made in seconds. It is our task to have our music and film offerings available in as many markets and platforms as a choice when those decisions are made. The blessed plan is to be an“edifying entertainment” choice for those consumers.
