IN THE MEDIA
HEY FAMILY,  

My name is Lawrence but EVERYONE KNOWS ME AS BINKEY!

I'M FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO WHERE MUSIC, ART, AND PERFORMANCE ARE LITERALLY IN MY DNA.

I USE EVERY ASPECT OF MY ARTISTRY WHILE HOSTING FROM HIP-HOP AND POETRY TO ACTING, STAND-UP, AND IMPROV.

I THRIVE ON MAKING PEOPLE FEEL SOMETHING REAL.

THE AUTHENTICITY I BRING THAT  MAKES THE EVENTS THAT I HOST THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL!

I’VE BAGGED WINS LIKE MGD FREESTYLE CHAMPION, WRITE CLUB ESSAY CHAMPION AND THE LEGENDARY SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO WINNER

BUT NONE OF THOSE ACCOLADES MATTER IF REAL & SINCERE CONNECTIONS WEREN’T MADE.

 WHEN I’M NOT ON STAGE CREATING BEAUTIFUL VIBES, I’M CURATING EVENTS—FROM INCREDIBLE WEDDINGS TO UNFORGETTABLE SHOWS OF ALL CALIBER ACROSS THE GLOBE.

I’M A PROFESSIONAL VIBE SETTER, HERE TO MAKE SURE YOUR NIGHT IS ONE FOR THE BOOKS.  SO, IF YOU WANT THAT BINKEY ENERGY TO LIGHT UP YOUR EVENT, I’M YOUR GUY.

LET’S CREATE SOME MAGICAL MEMORIES TOGETHER!

 MUCH LOVE,

LAWRENCE "BINKEY" TOLEFREE
