About Us

Greetings! My name is Gerard McLeod, CEO of P.B.G.'s Productions (Photos by Gerard), and Editor-in-Chief of Strong G Island Biz (SGIB) Magazine. The World's First Urban Bilingual Music Magazine & Long Island's First Bilingual Urban Music Magazine. The music magazine that goes both ways. We bring the world into our community... and our community into the world.
To date this magazine has been featured on BET?s Nightly News, News 12 on Long Island, written-up in the Long Island Press, The New York Beacon, Latin Long Island Magazine July/August issue, Newsday, cable shows and local radio stations. SGIB can be an outlet for both promotional and advertising purposes for your business, enterprise or organization.

SGIB and its staff recognizes the need to have a publication tailored to highlight the Long Island urban music community that we feel has not been represented fairly in other publications. With SGIB being the first bilingual music magazine for Long Island, it will not only serve as an entertainment and educational publication, it will also provide a very strong marketing base for advertisers in an untapped market on Long Island and abroad.

SGIB will also serve as a prototype for other urban communities in the country who, like Long Island, have recognized that the Afro-American and Hispanic communities deserve representation together; thereby encompassing both populations as one targeted market in one publication. "Comprende" or "Do You Understand?" P.B.G.?s Production?s owner Gerard McLeod designed this unique marketing strategy.
