THE FJM TEAM
Fred J. Montilla, Jr
Fred J. Montilla is the President of FJM Productions, Inc., which he founded in 1976. He has spearheaded this company into one of the most successful and diverse privately- owned entertainment companies in the country today.
He was one of the original members of the International Theatrical Agencies Association, and is also a member of the National Conference of Personal Managers.
Starting out as a musician and band leader fronting very successful touring bands, Fred quickly found he had not only the talent to perform on stage himself, but the ability to recognize and utilize the talents of others. He formed his own agency and management company in 1977, and as such, has run the gamut from managing traveling Headline show bands to coordinating Spectaculars for numerous big name Acts. He has also produced Vegas-style extravaganza stage shows for cruise ships and major hotels and venues throughout the USA, Latin America, Europe and Scandinavia.
It is his vast experience on both sides of the footlights that enables FJM to discern what audiences want, and how to generate the best results from the performers. Fred is respected throughout the Industry as one of the most knowledgeable producers, who can customize shows to fit the format that will give the clients the most most value for their investment.
