Interview of Johnny Holbrom (J-HO) and 66 Degrees

Just4Fun Unlimited recently caught up with Johnny Holbrom, founder and creator of 66 Degree's. We talked about what 66 really is and dug into what is needed to help promote out islands talents. Here's what the man had to say:
J4F: Johnny you and 66 degree’s are an upcoming entity from the island of Guam promoting some entertaining media, can you tell us what 66 degrees is all about?
JH: 66 DEGREES is all about Entertainment and bringing the HARDCORE joy only 66 delivers, to all people, through the premier artists of and related to the sacred MARIANAS ISLANDS.....we've existed tens of thousands of years B.C., our stories and our people shall be REVEALED.... Now is the time....66 DEGREES chillin in de 'ville.
J4F: Why 66 degree’s what the significance, the meaning behind 66 degree’s?
JH: 66 degrees CHILLIN n VIBIN WORLDWIDE....66 degrees FAHRENHIGHt.....in a tank top and zories.....from sunny san deezy, to --> santa barbareezy, thats DEDEDO *SBSK RTSK*...but really Im totally obsessed with mathematics and numbers and my horoscope and GEMINI, so when it came time to come up with the name of the PRODUCTION, I had to throw the dice-->6 6 snake eyez. six / six. JUNE 6th my BIRTHDAY. 1 AM in the morning...thats my hour...D DAY...66. Route 66 would have been so weak and desperate,than out of no where...DEGREES...and i thought...perfect...chill show...chillin temperature....its all right there.... BURRRRiliant!!!
J4F: I recently watched a few episodes from your YouTube channel and found all your work to be very comical, entertaining and informative, what’s the theme behind the videos?
JH: At first, FRESH PRINCE of DEVILLE wit a lil WAYNE'S WORLD,,,,AND THATS not LIL WAYNE...thats WAYNE's WORLD LIke "PARTY TIME...EXCELLENT!!!". thats probably gonna fly over a few young ones...I look up to WILL SMITH and MIKE MYERS...and feel like puttin it out there with that type of comedic, upbeat vibe makes it way more homey, like home your own home, and homey like you're own homey is shooting the vid,,,because ultimately JOHNNY H, is a homey, a bro, J HOMEY...and gonna be puttin it right in your own home, on your t.v., i pod, i phone, android, i mac, laptop, whatever....NOW. world domination through new age media entertainment, utilizing all forms of social media, youtube, web, television, feature films, documentaries, and more TOP SECRET high grades!!!!
J4F: Johnny as you and I both know there are a lot of talented people in the Marianas, musicians, artists, fighters, racers, surfers, etc. A lot of the talent back home can definitely stand toe to toe with the other artists stateside. How do you think or what do you think needs to be done in order to put our artists from Guam on the mainstream of entertainment worldwide?
JH: Yes, there are a lot of talented people in the Marianas, they root in our islands and dream to do big things, the islands can barely contain their huge ambitions. LARRY FRANQUEZ, sponsored by SABIAN CYMBALS, VIC FIRTH, SUNLITE DRUMS, and more....he's the youngest of his brothers and they all play drums, he's been drummin a half century since he could hold drumsticks, left island to pursue his craft and got his masters, and now he jams jazz from new york city to tokyo....world class musicians and he's kickin that beat. TANYA MANIBUSAN worldwide internet sensation, this girls has well over 1 million total views for all of her vids on youtube, there is a ton....you don't know how many positive comments i get from her music vid i put up...., MELCHOR MANIBUSAN fought DREAM (YOKOHAMA arena, TOKYO) against KAWAJIRI a top 10 world ranked MMA fighter, i was there with tens of thousands watching, FEDOR made a guest appearance, DREAM is the biggest MMA production in JAPAN, and their video production is LIGHT YEARS ahead of UFC!!!! FRANK the CRANK CAMACHO strives toward a goal, to be UFC CHAMPION, born in SAIPAN, he already holds a prestigious honor, A BJJ WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, he continues to strive with Lloyd IRVIN the most popular MMA school on the planet, check out his killer blog... http://crankeffect.com ... JOEY Quichocho of MUNGY TOWN AKA mangilao, fabricated an off road rig, went out to da states, entered the tuff truck challenge and almost raced himself into first place and a cover on OFF ROAD magazine. JQ ended up bringing in the winner and another friend to guam for our own race at SMOKIN WHEELZ...main event..... I slammed a GOPRO on the rig, and got the fresh mud splash from the mud run. JOEITO rips it, BOAT BASIN is his home. he recently won a surf tournament here and is a huge inspiration for young surfers on GUAM...I shot all of these artists and have shared little pieces of them with my youtube audience. Besides these artists, i have shot more artists, and their remains even more and more talented artists to shoot. All that being said, there is talent, lots of it, but now we have to show off that talent, not only to guam, but to the world, to all chamorros worldwide and to all other ethnicities, from the u.s. to asia and beyond, but especially the U.S. and asia because of our ties and position at 13*N 144*E. [***FOKAI****ROM...yah bro"] If we have the talent, but no one gets to see it, we lose out on the entertainment and the joy it brings to the people who view it. Now, in order to put our artists from Guam on the mainstream of entertainment worldwide our artists must continue to be their best, and do their best, amongst ourselves and worldwide competition, either here on Guam or abroad. But that is not all, we need a producer/producers who can capture those stories, those artists and their talents, and give it back to the world in a manner so entertaining and enlightening to bring joy and inspiration to those who view it. In retrospect, we need talented artists doing big things, and we need talented producers who can bring those big things to the mainstream, but we need even more than that...if we have the talented artists, and the talented producer, and they work well together, than we have something epic....now what we're gonna need is GUAM and the world's support, we need GUAM to sustain our ambitions, not just with moral support but with financial support, and to continue to provide our artists with opportunities to reach our biggest dreams and achieve our goals. That being said, i have ready-to-show six episodes of TV i have produced for GUAM. six 22 minute episodes. t.v. like no one has ever seen in the u.s. or here....a very new style of documentary, reality t.v. It is my art. i want to be that talented producer. if guam can support this vision, we will quicken the pace into mainstream entertainment otherwise, I may have to create my own website to offer these full episodes and other goods, or just slam them up on youtube. youtube pays up to 150 grand a year to their top players.....no, but really i want a guam t.v. show.what ya get on my youtube are just chips of the BOULDER....66 DEGREES compiled two years of footage from all the marianas, singapore, japan, asia, san diego, los angeles of the marianas' premier artist in the mainstream of entertainment,You want fighters...surfers....racers....photographers....musicians...models....beauty pageant contestants....writers*thats graff for yall don't know*...directors *ALEX MUNOZ* in los angeles at the LA FILM FEST reppin guam films on the big screen in HOLLYWOOD ***66 DEGREES. 66 got ENSON'S HOUSE in japan....wakin up with da FOKAI CREW....

OG Guam, 66 Degrees is a production based out of the Marianas. Majority of their work will include documentaries as well as interviews but who knows they may be able to facilitate their own channel. Johnny Holbrom has a lot of skills and talent to make it happen. If you need further information about John or 66 Degrees his contact information is listed within the article.
