BIOGRAPHY
Born in the year of 1982 and hailing from the spot on the map, known as Panama City, of Bay County Florida, Stanley C. Jones Jr. was always more than just another kid hoping to make it big. From an early age Jones was a person of vision and strategy. He has a passionate love for business, which he credits inheriting from his, late, Great Grandfather “Possum” Joe. As a lifelong resident of Florida, Jones eventually got to the point where he felt he needed closer contacts to the industry. In the summer of ’99 Jones moved to New Jersey where he would soon meet more contacts and get closer to the industry than ever before. After about 2 years in New Jersey, the young entrepreneur returned to Florida. It was at this time that he began laying the ground work for his music production company Silver Diamond Entertainment.
After many aspirations for the future fell through the cracks, Jones seriously weighed his options, keeping his business dreams in mind. As the feeling of failure began to darken his heart, Jones had come to the point to where he had to choose his path. He could either: A) Hop on the fast track to getting money the illegal way, like so many of his peers. B) Just sit back and watch his life go down, or C) Grind his way to success and the good life. Jones chose choice “C” and grind it out he did. He soon began working various jobs, everything from breaking down cement blocks to working on his city’s new bridge. He eventually came to the realization that all of his successes as well as failures would only add more pages to his life story, someday in future.
In the fall of 2002, Jones once again traveled outside of his home territory determined to make the right connections and bring his business plans to meet the face of reality. This time, though, he would end up on the other side of the globe in the country of Japan. It was here that Jones honed his skills and networked extensively. Even more so, it would be in Japan, where he would began building a global list of contacts in efforts of expanding his entrepreneurial territories which involve bringing the vision of Silver Diamond Ent. to life.
