*“They want five-minute shorts,” said filmmaker/radio personality Tim Greene about what kids want and what kids will see on his Next Kids Worldwide streaming platform. “It’s a streaming network of videos and radio shows that are commercial-free.”
The NextKidsWorldwide.com streaming network was launched for underprivileged kids who want to improve their lives to strive for excellence. The network accepts music from young artists. Its programming and content is there to inspire the next generation of kids worldwide to achieve excellence. The content for Next Kids Worldwide is for ages five to twelve. It streams in seven different languages in 75 countries. Programming includes a focus on education, music, films, and fashion.
The Next Kids Worldwide network takes over where Tim Greene left off with a life dedicated to inspiring and empowering young kids to seek out and reach excellence. Without funding Tim Greene has traveled the country handing out laptops to kids in need. Greene said he stopped counting laptops at 400, but he has given out more than he can count.
“We are still giving them away,” he said about the laptop giveaways. “We have chrome booklets now.”
Tim started as a professional tennis player winning over 120 tennis trophies. At 13 he won a scholarship to Princeton Universities for their summer tennis camp. After that journey he started another as a radio personality for such stations as Stevie Wonder’s KJLH, KKBT 92.3FM The Beat, KMPC Sports Radio, Radio One’s WPHI The Beat, KISS 102FM and FOXY 99FM, NPR’s WSGE Radio, and Bay 78FM in Japan.
While at KJLH Tim added artist manager when he took on a rapping granny, which was to be her stage name – Rapping Granny. He took her from the streets of South-Central Los Angeles to superstardom. She appeared on over 25 national television commercials, appeared in 17 feature films, and co-starred in such TV shows as “Beetle Borgs,” “Everybody Hates Chris,” “America’s Got Talent,” “Don’t Be a Menace,” and “The Steve Harvey Show.”
“When I left radio, I was at Stevie Wonder’s radio station,” Tim said when we were discussing the overwhelming success of his client the Rapping Granny that caused him to leave radio.
“The video was for ‘Granny’s a Gangsta’,” Greene told me when I asked about the music videos, he produced for her. “She inspired people. She was on ‘America’s Got Talent’, ‘The Steve Harvey Show,’ ‘Everybody Hates Chris.’ That got me my skills.”
Producing her music videos open the door for Tim to produce, write, and direct a string of films on DVD. Greene even went into acting appearing in projects for Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios, Tyler Perry Studios, Disney, Warner Bros, and Lifetime.
“I had distribution in 35 countries,” he said about his DVD films. “They were in 33 languages. It allowed me to be a creator…films like ”Lil Homey’ and ‘Creep’.”
With the Next Kids Worldwide streaming platform Tim Greene can now inspire and empower kids from all over the world. Greene wants Next Kids Worldwide to be a safe place for kids to share their stories, achievements, and talents. If Green is not on radio or film projects, he is a motivational speaker who has shared his inspirational stories at conferences, conventions, prisons, and veteran events. His philanthropy work and other achievements resulted in coverage on NBC, CBS, CNN, and ABC. He has a list of awards that include The Presidential Award for community services, the Distinguished Humanitarian Award for community service, a Certificate of Commendation from the City of Los Angeles for youth service, and the Grand Marshall of the Martin Luther King Day Parade on NBC in Los Angeles.
“I want it to be free for everybody,” Tim Greene said as we closed out the interview. www.NextKidsWorldwide.com
