About Me:

I was born in "Brooklyn-(Flatbush) NYC" & raised in "East Orange NJ".
Many moons ago I decided to uproot myself from e'vrything I knew & comeI
to "Cali" to pursue my dream of becoming a successful..."Producer & Songwriter"...
so far so good! Having personally & closely worked with:{Leon F.Sylvers,lll.,
Norman Whitfield & The Great Stevie Wonder...Howie Rice & Norman Conners}.

As a musician & background vocalist I performed on approx: 31 Gold & Platinum
records that Leon Sylvers Produced including Artists: {The Whispers, Shalamar, Dynasty, Klymaxx, Carrie Lucas,The Sylvers,Gladys Knight & The Pips, Krystol,
Wet Betty, Edmund Sylvers,Joyce Kennedy,Glenn Jones,Evelyn"Champagne"King}.
Moving on...I did a brief stint at Motown's Hitsville{Their Recording Facility}.
Norman Whitfield was my Mentor then...& with him I put in madd work with the late
great..."SHERRICK", "DeBARGE", the soundtrack for Motown's movie "The Last Dragon" {Starring "Taimak & Vanity} & helped develop cataloged songs for their staff writers. After my brief stint @ "Hitsville"...I then went on to work with..."Stevie Wonder".
Stevie soon opened & launched a Producer/Writer's facility called: "Writer's Quarter's West". And soon after it's launching, I was appointed "Creative Director" by Stevie. I did that for three years. Then the real work began...it was time for me to set sail..take flight if U will. I hooked up with powerhouse Producer/Writer "Howie Rice"-{Pointer Sisters,Patti
LaBelle, Barry Manilow, Kiss, Menudo} & the explosive Vocalist & Songwriter..."Ronee Martin"& we wrote a smash hit record for "Gladys Knight" intitled: "THIS IS LOVE"-{Which is loaded in my player here}. Since then, I've worked with like a who's who in this industry.

I am a Grammy nominated Producer-{I lost out to Raphael Saadiq...not too shabby..huh?} I just wrapped a Music Film score that will be my first full feature-{Scheduled for national release sometime this spring-2009}.
Currently, I'm in the studio with vocal group-"TROOP, SHAYA, CHRONICLES, TY & KORY,THA' NU KLICK!,TY G. & T-BOB, & GOLDIE O.G."

And although I have worked with alot of peeps, I am always looking for the "NEXT" nu thing. So if U got something that U think that I might be interested in getting into...let a Brutha' know...get @ me right here on the "Hits A Million Network".

Keep reachin' out ta' me, & I'll keep reachin' back for U!
