Survival Crew Entertainment LLC was founded on the mean streets of New York City by Warren J. Gallimore, and his mother Viola Gallimore who is also his manager. On a shoe string budget, they tackled a MAJOR journey but they were confident in their abilities to take on the music business. After finding out things were not going to be as easy as they thought, not to mention many MAJOR world events.  It helped to detour them from their goals but Survival Crew refused to give up, and SURVIVAL CREW ENTERTAINMENT LLC. IS STILL STANDING TODAY!!!!!!!!!

Born in the mid 70’s, in Brooklyn, NY to Jamaican parents Icoll & Viola Gallimore,  at the tender age of  6, young Warren was performing covers of  groups such as The Jackson 5, New Edition, 5 Star, and The Jets just to name a few. All while studying the greats in music such as Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Otis Redding, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, The Temptations, Gregory Isaacs, and Freddie McGregor. In the early 80’s, Warren’s parents moved him and his sister to Saint Albans, Queens, New York. Within that same neighborhood lived Run-DMC, LL Cool J, A Tribe Called Quest, and the great hip hop mogul Russell Simmons, and much more. Warren was always surrounded by musical influences. In the late 80’s he started developing himself as a songwriter at the age of 12. Even though R&B was a major part of his development, Reggae music was also his love. He started going around to studios in New York City at that time with his mother and manager. He graduated from Julia Richman H.S. studying music theory in the prestigious Talent Unlimited program in 1992. In 1993, he and his mother started Survival Crew Records (The first single produced on Survival Crew was a Reggae single by the name of “Harder To Say Goodbye” sung by Warren, and reggae DJ Pablo G.). New to the industry, they went through many lessons learning about the business of music.

At the age of 18, Warren started working for the Film and Television industry as a production assistant, working on many major projects including the first 5 Spike Lee pictures, Above The Rim, Law & Order, Eraser, First Wives Club, as well as many commercials and music videos around the Tri State area.
