Salinda Walker
President, IRise Productions LLC
In a career spanning 30+ years in live events Salinda Walker has produced concerts, festivals, cruises, theatrical performances, award shows and corporate conferences. The ability to take a client’s vision from abstract to fruition is a special talent possessed and appreciated in this dynamic professional. Starting her career as an Audio Technician in Chicago, IL; extending her skills in Production Management throughout international spaces has afforded her the chance to see the world and make the impossible happen at every level. Working with artists such as Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, the Tom Joyner Morning Show, Mary J Blige and the critically acclaimed touring company of Broadway Musical, “Sarafina”. She has worked with the management teams of some of the most successful Artists in history and is widely respected as a consummate professional across the industry.
Ms. Walker started IRise Productions in 2005 as a production services company in Chicago to assist Promoters needing to maneuver the landscape in the 2nd largest entertainment market of the Country. After moving to Dallas TX, a quick restructure of the company in 2018 to make Texas its home base has allowed IRise to thrive in a new market and enlarge the territory under their sphere of influence. In this new market she continues to develop the necessary relationships and provide excellent service to all Clients; making Ms. Walker/IRise Productions highly sought after to produce major events.
