About Us

Co-founded by C.E.O. Brandon “Stix” Salaam-Bailey and President Savalas Holloway, the first-of-its-kind full-service global entertainment company comprises Record Label, Publisher & Artist Management, Live Music Events, Film and television production. Its light will only brighten with each successive project, beginning with the 2026 premiere of the anxiously awaited documentary Nothing To See Here: Watts and its Original Soundtrack Album—which boasts contributions from legendary artists and 21st century hip-hop and R&B powerhouses.

​

“We specialize in taking authentic original ideas and bringing them to life,” the Co-Founders agree. “That’s our mission at its core. We discover, develop, and grow artists, companies, managers, and executives. We want to share our insight into how to create a competitive advantage over everything else in the entertainment space.”

​

Thinkwatts Global cements the union between longtime friends and colleagues Stix and Savalas. Bringing a wealth of experience and an impeccable track record to the table, Savalas has held elite executive roles everywhere from Universal Music Group to Warner Music Group before going independent and cultivating and successfully launching multiplatinum talent under his own banner. Meanwhile, Stix has not only written and produced multiplatinum records himself, but he has also made history as an award-winning creative, innovative businessman, and committed philanthropist as Founder of 501(c)3 Think Watts Foundation.

​

In 2025, these two talented entrepreneurs and proud Los Angeles natives officially joined forces to launch Thinkwatts Global. Its name nods to Stix’s longstanding organization, carrying the same integrity, spirit, and meaning to the realm of entertainment, Together, Stix and Savalas rallied around a foundation of mutual respect for one another and a shared vision.

​

Nothing To See Here: Watts proved to be an appropriate inaugural project for the duo. Shot by its subjects on iPhones, the documentary captures the real lives of Watts denizens from across the societal spectrum, on both sides of the law, and in the heart of the community. The Soundtrack notably consists of new music from A-list multiplatinum GRAMMY® Award-winning—many of whom hail from Los Angeles and a few from Watts.

​

It's just the beginning though. Thinkwatts Global has a bevy of projects in the pipeline, ranging from new artists to documentaries, biopics, and so much more.

Nothing can dim this light now.

“When you think of ‘Watts’, you think of wattage and electricity,” they leave off. “When a lightbulb goes off, you get an idea. With an idea, you can change the world.

 

Thinkwatts Global is about creating with an idea that changes the world through entertainment, community, and using the voice you’ve been given. It’s bigger than the neighborhood, but it starts small
