Indie Me Inc. and Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC Partner to Protect Talent and Open Opportunities in the AI Era

A protection-first partnership empowering talent to control their identity while opening new opportunities in the AI era.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, March 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Indie Me Inc., an entertainment technology company focused on AI-driven likeness licensing, IP validation, strategic distribution, and multi-channel monetization, today announced a partnership with Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC to strengthen protections for talent and performers as synthetic media grows, while also making it easier for talent to be discovered, approved, and booked for new kinds of projects.

As AI-generated content becomes more common and identity misuse becomes harder to track, the two companies are aligned on a shared priority: protect talent first, and build a responsible, permissioned pathway that helps legitimate buyers move quickly and book talent the right way.

“Talent and performers should not have to choose between protection and progress,” said Dion Johnson, CEO of Indie Me Inc. “This partnership is about putting people back in control of their identity. When consent is clear, boundaries are documented, and misuse is actively monitored, the industry can move faster in the right direction. Buyers can book talent with confidence, and talent can say yes knowing their name, face, and voice are being handled with respect.”

Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC, led by Co-Founders Kimberly Strauss, Matt Coleman, Mario Anastasiades, supported by talent manager Martin Herrera, shared a unified perspective on why the partnership matters:

"We want a clear, repeatable process that makes approvals simple and keeps the rules tight. Indie Me Inc. gives us that structure.” — Matt Coleman, Co-Founder, Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC

“When the licensing pathway is clean, legitimate opportunities move faster. This creates more ways for our talent and performers to get booked.” — Mario Anastasiades, Co-Founder, Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC

“This is the first step to representation protecting their clients’ likeness from abuse of AI” — Martin Herrera, Talent Manager, Next Level Entertainment Global Grp LLC
