- 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 & come
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 & 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}.

Remember that I care about you.
I'm praying for you;

Be just as BEAUTIFUL in your own eyes.
When you wake up...
Think of me, thinking about you.
My head swirling when I heard your voice;
My eyes beaming when I saw your face;
My mind racing when I felt you breathe.

Corinne Bailey Rae: The Sea
Anyone who’s been through a serious loss knows about the baffling part: After it’s over, you are still you. You are you, plus the loss, plus the pain and confusion the loss causes. The process of healing isn’t really a matter of “getting over it” — taking it in is what’s necessary, incorporating what’s been [...]Maxwell: BLACKsummers’ Night
The best way to listen to Maxwell’s new “BLACKsummers’ Night” is with the volume turned all the way up. The R&B artist didn’t take a turn toward heavy metal during the eight years he’s spent between releasing albums; this one, like his previous three, is full of meditative jams written on the continuum between ardor [...]Laura Izibor: Let The Truth Be Told
The Irish diva is soon to go global via her debut album on Atlantic. This album from the young Dubliner was set to be released on Jive Records three years ago, but got shelved. Then, another label, Atlantic, took their time in deciding just when it should see be released. “Let The Truth Be Told” [...]The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes
I believe that children our our future. Most people think Whitney Houston penned the lyrics to the timeless hit “The Greatest Love of All,” or that Randy Watson was the genius behind the words when he led the wildly-famous soul band “Sexual Chocolate.” Actually, the song was originally recorded by George Benson in 1977 for the [...]Must See!!!

Straight Outta Mogadishu Somali-born rapper K’naan on African pirates and the world’s hardest ghetto. —By Eamon Kircher-Allen for Mother Jones K’naan’s music sounds a little like Eminem’s, if Slim Shady had spent his childhood dodging bullets in Somalia’s civil war. The 30-year-old hip-hop artist (born Kaynaan Warsame) grew up on the mean streets of Mogadishu and escaped in [...]“I Want Michelle Obama Arms!”
She’s Pumped. Your Turn. By LIZ ROBBINS THE arms have taken on a life of their own. They have provoked controversy, envy, a bit of backlash, even bad puns about the right to bare them.
