Born in Belize and shaped by the culture and energy of Houston, Texas, Carlos Corleone is an artist, entrepreneur, promoter, and entertainment visionary dedicated to creating opportunities for artists and delivering unforgettable experiences to audiences.
With roots in hip-hop and years of experience as a performer, Carlos built his career from the stage outward. As an artist, he has collaborated with talent throughout the Houston music scene and developed a reputation for bringing authenticity, energy, and personality to everything he does.

That perspective influences the way he approaches every showcase, event, and artist opportunity. Mainstage Empire isn't simply about putting on shows—it's about building platforms, creating connections, and giving talent a place to make their mark.
Whether he's behind the scenes coordinating an event, working with artists and industry professionals, hosting a showcase, or stepping onto the stage himself, Carlos brings the same entrepreneurial mindset and passion for entertainment to every project.
His vision for Mainstage Empire continues to grow: a platform built around music, live entertainment, artists, and the people who make the culture move.
At the heart of everything Carlos does is a simple belief:
Talent deserves a stage.
And through Mainstage Empire, Carlos Corleone is working to build that stage—and the empire around it.
