Walter A. Kearney… a man of faith, a man of character and a man of business. It comes as no surprise that a man with this great of substance started with such humble beginnings.  As the only boy growing up in a single parent home with two older sisters, he learned the importance of responsibility, integrity and aggressiveness.  His mother, understanding the magnitude of a boy having male role models decided that it was necessary for him to grow up in the church.  She knew that at church he would be surrounded with godly men that would confirm her teachings on priorities and strong work ethics.  Walter, not comprehending his destiny, grabbed a hold of as much information as he possibly could.  He was an eager learner; always ready and willing to apply his new education to practical life situations.

His energy to strive for excellence caused him to begin his career as a teenager.  While other students were worrying about dances, proms and games; he was focused on building his business.  Walter was a balanced person with priorities.  He believed in working hard and rewarding himself with playing hard.  He understood that he had to have discipline in his life.  This discipline landed him a stellar job at a reputable advertising agency in Detroit, Michigan known as Campau Advertising.  Walter, prudent in his business dealings, saw his rising potential with this company.  He entered the agency as a Production Aide and within a three year period he had elevated to managing million dollar accounts such as, Kmart, Revlon, Rite Aid, Meijer, Lustra Silk and many others.  His responsibilities included negotiating major contracts, coordinating the production of major media campaigns and delivering quality advertising to demanding consumers that caused his contract's revenues to exceed their expectations.  His account roster became enormous therefore he had to eventually call upon his gospel connections to assist in the production of commercials.  These artists and producers included the Winans, Fred Hammond, BeBe Winans, Thomas Whitfield, Paul "pda" Allen and eventually J. Moss.  Walter eventually excelled to the second highest position of the company… Vice President.  It was at this level that Walter broke the ceiling in his mind as he envisioned an entirely new realm of possibilities.  Thus, giving up a six figure executive job, a company car and credit card, he set out to realize his own passion…becoming President and Chief Executive Officer of his own company.

Walter partnered with his childhood friend Erik Williams and together they successfully opened Advantage Management & Booking company.  This road management and booking company was created to handle the affairs of musicians and recording artist.  Walter always had a heartbeat for music therefore his new venture was perfect for him.  Even though his company was small, his reputation for strong business dealings landed him major management contracts with gospel phenoms such as, the Winans, Donnie McClurkin., Zion and Special Gift.  Additionally, he began a hit gospel video show that aired on a major channel with major hosts, former Miss USA, Carol Gist and the renowned Carvin Winans.

After Walter mastered another goal in his life, he was ready to go on to something fresh.  Therefore, keeping in line with his own genius he partnered with "PDA" in beginning the now well-known, PAJAM.  As is Walter's custom, he and "PDA" set out to make PAJAM an industry known name.  His flair for negotiations and his special knack for "getting the job" done set PAJAM on a road to success that is continuously being uncovered.  This duo eventually became a trio, when Walter (now known as "Stone":because people can count on him to finish a job) and "PDA" brought on their new artist and eventually partner, J. Moss.  The J. Moss element added another level of success to their company. Together, these men have made some incredible accomplishments… they have broken down some tough barriers and now they are going on to becoming one of the best known names in the music industry… PAJAM!
