Meet the Founder

Rashad Starr is a Georgia native who moved to Charlotte in late 2020 and quickly fell in love with all that the Queen City has to offer. However, as he began to explore the city's social scene, he found that discovering the best events and experiences was more challenging than he anticipated. With countless hours spent scouring the internet for information, he saw a need for a centralized platform that could showcase the city's exceptional beauty and rich cultural offerings.

Leveraging his extensive background in media research and librarianship, Rashad created Front Row Charlotte - a one-stop destination that curates and advertises the best events in the city. His mission is to provide locals and visitors alike with an inside look at Charlotte's vibrant community and all it has to offer. Through Front Row Charlotte, Rashad hopes to enrich and connect the community, bringing people together to celebrate the city's growing culture and diverse offerings.
