The legendary entertainment executive, history maker, 3X best-selling author, media guru, filmmaker, publicist, and CEO & President of Double XXposure Media Relations — Angelo Ellerbee — stands as a living testament to resilience, vision, and unwavering commitment to uplifting humanity.
For over 50 years, Angelo has carved his name in the annals of entertainment history, shaping the careers of music and media icons including Dionne Warwick, Michael Jackson, DMX, Grace Jones, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Roberta Flack, Nina Simone, Lionel Richie, and so many more. With a career that spans genres, generations, and global movements, Angelo is more than a publicist — he is a builder of legacies.
But beyond the bright lights and red carpets, Angelo’s true legacy lies in his heart — in his deep, abiding love for community. That love is the heartbeat of his latest best-selling book, Before I Let You Go: Life Lessons from an Industry Guru, featuring a foreword by the iconic Dionne Warwick, his long-time collaborator and cherished friend of over 40 years.
When asked what inspired this powerful work, Angelo simply responded: “A lack of love in the world.” His words are a call to action, a balm to the broken, and a tribute to the forgotten. He dedicates the book to:
The HIV/AIDS community, still stigmatized for their illness. The homeless, who seek dignity and a fair shot at life. Domestic abuse survivors, fighting to rediscover their strength. The LGBTQIA+ family, longing for unconditional love and acceptance. Drug addicts, battling demons with little support. The incarcerated, yearning for redemption and a second chance.
Angelo’s vision is one of restoration, not only of careers but of souls. His understanding of people — their pain, power, and potential — is what makes him an unparalleled force. As he reflected in a recent interview:
“I’m most proud of the productivity of each talent I’ve worked with… to see them overcome their trials and become professionals in their work.”
His company, Double XXposure Media Relations, thrives on this same ethic — prioritizing communication, education, and customized strategies to amplify each client’s truth.
Through his work and philanthropy, Angelo continues to challenge institutions, spark meaningful dialogue, and invest in communities that have been ignored or underestimated for too long. In his words:
“When was America ever great for everyone? True greatness comes when everyone can share in it.”
Now, as he continues his journey, Angelo Ellerbee remains driven not by fame or accolades, but by a singular purpose: to love, uplift, and ignite a new generation of changemakers.
