Even as a kid, Monica had experienced a few hardships. So on the project, instead of toning down her attitude, Austin tapped into it.
Now, decades after they first met, Austin and Dupri are hoping to work together on a regular basis. The two are both continuing to grow Atlanta as an entertainment hub, with Austin working in the newly formed Georgia Entertainment Caucus to create a bridge between the music business and government. One of their goals is to ensure the state's music-tax incentives are effective and to create an entertainment district in the city.
Later this year, he'll also launch a new company, JDA, alongside Dupri. Austin says he hopes the Atlanta-based business firm will eventually encompass music, film and TV production, a management agency, and more."We want JDA to be the Dreamworks of Atlanta by the time we're done," Austin says."[It will] wrap up our story nicely."
