At Bleed Magazine, we celebrate creators who pour everything into their art. Champagne937 is the definition of that spirit. The Dayton, Ohio rapper and entrepreneur is turning dreams into milestones, from performing at LA’s iconic Peppermint Club to transforming a small Dominican Republic town into a music video set for his latest single, Say Less.
Manifesting Dreams Into Reality
“I remember standing outside the Peppermint Club during the Grammys thinking, ‘One day, I’ll perform here,’” Champagne recalls. “To come back and do it—that was a huge win for me and my team.”
That determination defines Champagne’s path. Where some artists wait for opportunities, he creates them. The same bold energy led him to the Dominican Republic, where he and his crew threw a block party with locals, bikers, and even a fire breather to film Say Less.
“It wasn’t just a video shoot,” he says. “It was an event for the whole town.”
Giving Back Through Community
Champagne’s grind isn’t just about his own success—it’s about inspiring the next generation. Through Jetway (Just Enjoy The Way), he’s created a lifestyle brand that doubles as a movement of self-belief.
He also partnered with Wright State University’s Master’s in Marketing Analytics program, where students have spent two years using Jetway as a case study. “I gave them my analytics and let them treat Jetway like their own brand project,” he says. “They learned, and I learned. We hit real goals together.”
It’s a model of collaboration that shows students how music and business intersect in today’s landscape.
Independence as a Superpower
Remaining independent allows Champagne to execute his vision fully—whether it’s writing video treatments, running ad campaigns, or experimenting with new ways to connect with fans. His upcoming “Ladies Love Champagne” live series and college homecoming performances continue to bring his community-centered approach to the forefront.
“Being independent means I get to shape my own destiny,” he says. “And the best part? The people who support me are part of the journey too.”
Final Word:
With Say Less making waves, Champagne937 is proving that passion, independence, and community can take an artist from Dayton to LA, the Dominican Republic, and beyond. He’s not just chasing greatness—he’s bleeding for it.
