LA based husband and wife, Josh and Amanda Wilkinson (professionally known as Don Dripper and Amanda Stylez) have combined their talents to launch Free People's Army, an emerging music production and management company that is attracting attention.
"I began to realize that the idea of working for others was only making them rich, and that was not a path I wanted to be on. I had to make a move.", Dripper says. "I love music, so I reached out to an independent artist, made a deal to produce their project and started rolling. Before long, other artists started to approach me for help with their careers, and Free People's Army was born."

Additionally, Amanda Stylez leverages her 10 years of experience in the fashion industry to offer stylist services to the FPA roster of artists.

Since the company's inception in 2018, FPA has executive produced 5 albums, produced and/or concepted numerous music videos, placed their artists tracks on TV and film projects, produced podcasts, photoshoots and more. Now, as Covid conditions have forced some pivoting in their business model, FPA has also begun plans for creating content such as cooking and snowboarding videos set to their soundtrack.
Despite the challenges the Covid pandemic has presented, Free People's Army has plans to launch tours as soon as safety permits. FPA's next independent release is "The Boogieman" album from Body Bagg Jonez, slated for release this spring. FPA has since led negotiations and landed a partnership with a label for his future releases.
