Joe M Loera
Producer, OMGtv!! LIVE
Loera started his career as a professional dancer, actor, performer, and teacher. For over 17 years, Loera has built a reputation in the entertainment industry. He has traveled the world on tours, performed in award shows, TV shows, films, commercials, and on stage with an array of artists such as Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Wayne Brady and Bette Midler. He has also had the opportunity to work with several high profile Direc- tors/Choreographers including Rob Marshall, Adam Shankman, Fatima Robinson, and Wayne Cilento.
Nothing has been more rewarding for Loera then traveling all over the country teaching, choreographing, and mentoring tens of thousands of young students. This includes working for two of the top dance conventions, L.A. Underground, and L.A. Dance Magic.
In 2003, Loera founded KAMP NYC, the most intensive and exclusive Broadway Show camp in New York City for talented teen singers, dancers, and actors from across the country. Loera revolutionized the public's perception of musical theater camps by exploring real teen topics and incorporating pop and rock with traditional musical theater music.
Through Joe's company 2inspire Productions, LLC, Loera has co-written and produced several Off Broadway teen musicals including "US", "Break Through", and "Champions." Loera has been making a name for himself by producing and directing highly-regarded variety shows, Kidzone (2007) and Neofied (2008). Recently, Joe produced the Teen Artist Benefit raising money for the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund.
All this success has helped Loera catch the eye of some of the major companies in the industry including a co-production deal with Target Entertainment Group USA and Don Mischer Productions. As a Creator/Producer, he has been in discussions with multiple television networks including Nickelodeon, TeenNick and MTV.
What makes Joe Loera unique and outstanding in this field is his experience, keen eye for talent and the ability to listen to the youth movement that has something to say and wants to be heard. This continues to push Loera to create, produce, and develop projects with compelling stories that excite, inspire and energize!
