Thankfully, I've had the privileged of working with different artists, producers, song writers and singers. I've always been surprised when people I admire want to work with me or have me produce music for them. I'm always flattered and honored.
Here are a few of them in no particular order.
The Fugees
Wyclef, Lauryn Hill, Pras, Jerry
I grew up in East Orange, NJ... but I never thought I would wind up in the Bugga Basement with the Fugees. At thea time, I was producing music with a guy name, Lami. We were both asked to join and make beats. Though we did make some beats here and there, we never really joined the crew... and this story will have to end there.
98.7 Kiss FM
New York, New York
98.7 Kiss with the first mainstream, major FM station to play my music on air.
Artist/Song Writer (some names)
Who wants to lay something down on a track I made? Who????
Words can't explain the the speechlessness that ensured. Not only was it an honor and a priviledge, but it was a lesson. This man could lay down just about anything (seemingly) off the cuff... I mean these layered backgrounds with harmonies...OFF THE CUFF. Amazing.
Melky (Jean) & Sedek
Anyone know the movie, Love Jones, with Nia Long and what's his face? Well, Melky Sedek, the younger Jean siblings, had the smooth title track to what I consider to be a monumental smooth, neo-soul-esque, soundtrack. I had a track or two on their album, but unfortuneately it never dropped.

The first DJ in New York, well... really in the world, to play my first Stimulared Remix on air and support me. Thank you, Oh So! I was on my way to LA at that time in my life. Oh So introduced me to DJ Kaleem.

I never worked with Garth, but when I moved to LA I think it was DJ Kaleem (my favorite DJ in LA) that introduced me. I think I handed him a copy of the verse batch of Stimulated Remixes and he's been asking me for music ever since. Recently, he introduced me to Vitamin A and they used some of my music for the new 2014 collection behind the screnes videos. I am so grateful.

I don't know her. Never worked with her. Never talked to her. BUT - she did use my Rock the Boat remix for her RAGGA JAM dance video in what appears to be Paris.
