Filmmaker, actor, and public speaker, Kevin John Goff attributes much of his entrepreneurial spirit to his legendary entertainment family, The McDaniels. The great-grandnephew of Hollywood's first black artist to win an Oscar (actress Hattie McDaniel, for her work on the 1939 film Gone with the Wind), Goff continues to honor her legacy by inspiring the newest generation to take courage from her trailblazing accomplishments.

In 2013-17, he was the Executive Director and Chief Branding Officer of The Swing Prophets (European), an international jazz trio based in Denmark. He also wrote the liner notes for their last album "The Truth" (2014). Recently, he had the honor of presenting the category of "Outstanding Producer" at the 41st Young Artist Awards also known as the "Youth Oscars" on November 21, 2020. He also presented the category of "Best Performer in a Streaming Series: Leading Teen Actor" for the 42nd Young Artist Awards on November 6, 2021.

Goff is developing a series of collaborative projects with other artists and industries in The Netherlands, London, Ethiopia, New Zealand, New York, Los Angeles and more. His main focus centers around developing projects in sustainability, education, and global business. On January 29, 2021, he launched a website for Hattie McDaniel to honor her legacy.
