CONFIDENTIAL ALL DAY BABY
From creating music for several new films to making records with the likes of Kelly Rowland, Mya, Jessica Simpson, Beyoncé Knowles and his mom Dionne Warwick, songwriter/producer Damon Elliott is one busy man By Erik PhilbrookWhen Playback talked to songwriter/producer Damon Elliott a few weeks back, he was in the studio working on music for the upcoming hip hop comedy, Malibu's Most Wanted, starring Jaime Kennedy and Taye Diggs. Although Elliott's score for the film will be his first (a collaboration with composer John Debney), his film music track record is about to get much longer. Last summer, he contributed music to the Scooby-Doo soundtrack and he is currently creating new material for three more 1970's TV shows-turned-feature films: Charlie's Angels II, S.W.A.T. and a live action feature of Fat Albert.You would think that his new film work would be enough to keep him occupied, but Elliott's sizzling career as a writer/producer shows no sign of slowing down. He has made a name for himself as an aggressive and progressive producer who is not afraid to experiment with sounds and styles, forging funky beats with infectious melodies. He has worked with a who's who of today's reigning hip hop, pop and R&B stars, such as Pink, Mya, Destiny's Child, Eminem, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Keith Sweat, Barry White, Ziggy Marley and many others. Add to this a record project that Elliott is most excited to produce: an album of duets featuring many of today's young pop divas which will mark his mother Dionne Warwick's 40th anniversary in music. On a rare break in Elliott's schedule, Playback's Erik Philbrook had the chance to talk to him about how he does it all.
