Producer / Writer

As the Director of A & R my duties consisted of bringing unknown artists, producers and songwriters from anonymity to the satisfaction of enjoying gold and platinum successes. The 1999 Grammy Award-winning song “No Scrubs,” performed by TLC was an excellent example of my relentless tenacity to produce successful campaigns. Recognizing the potential in then unknown and never before released producer, Kevin“ Shakespeare” Briggs, I lobbied LA Reid, the former owner of LaFace Records and presently the CEO of Island Def Jam, to give this unproven producer an opportunity, and after several weeks at number one on the Billboard Pop and R&B charts, the rest was history. During that time, I also signed rapper J.T. Money to my label and he had the number one rap record in the country “Who Dat,” on Billboard the same week as TLC’s No Scrubs, the week ending April 13, 1999.
