Our
Story
Colossal Events Group
CEG Live was established in 2017 by RJ Romeo and Trent Michaels. RJ, currently serving as the President of Romeo Entertainment Group (REG) in Nashville, TN, has dedicated his entire career to the talent buying space. On the other hand, Trent initially worked in sports marketing before contributing to several major music festivals in the Midwest until the onset of the pandemic. While the pandemic brought challenges to the entertainment industry, it also provided an opportunity for a reset, leading to the inception of CEG Live, formerly known as Colossal Events Group. Leveraging RJ's extensive experience in talent booking for over 150 privately held events and Trent's expertise in cultivating successful entertainment partnerships, CEG Live came into existence.
