About

John Edmonds Kozma is a highly experienced professional with more than 20 years in the entertainment industry. He is the CEO and founder of Bang Productions. In 2016, John revolutionized the comedy scene by leveraging social media. He signed Darren Knight, widely known as Southern Momma, and within two years, he went from the trailer park to the Super Bowl of Comedy, "Just For Laughs." This typically takes comedians 10 to 15 years to achieve. As a result, Darren became the fastest-rising comedian in American history. This was also the first instance of a comedy act achieving national success solely through social media. Consequently, his social media business model set a new standard in the comedy industry. John Edmonds Kozma hosts the Unimpressed Podcast, where he explores the nonconscious elements of humanity in each episode. His perspective, influenced by the idea that everyone is connected through the Quantum Field, aims to reduce bias in understanding the structure of life. He is also the author of 'Finding a Perfect Audience,' a system designed to help businesses develop genuine client relationships. Known for his unique personality, profound intelligence, spirituality, and healing talents, he has often been compared to Albert Einstein. His collaborations with talented individuals such as Nick Cassavetes, Claudia Katz, Armin Van Buuren, and Travis Pastrana have contributed to the success of careers like Southern Momma and Ginger Billy. John graduated from Charleston Southern University, where he played baseball and majored in Business Administration with a minor in Economics. He values his personal life and resides with his wife and daughter in Mt. Pleasant, SC. When he's not busy with work, he enjoys spending time at the beach, playing golf, or pursuing his education in the spiritual realm. This insight into his life allows the audience to connect with him more personally, beyond his professional achievements.
