About Me

.. INSERT 'ABOUT ME' TEXT HERE' -- There's not much to say that pholks don't already know. I'm an Atlanta music consultant, I've been in the business for over 2 decades working with some of Atlanta's best. I've been a manager, A&R rep, an ASCAP rep and a voting member of the board of Governers for the National Society of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS). I've help jump start such production companys as Organized Noize Productions, (ONP, INC.) and Playmaker Music, INC. (Nitti, producer of Yung Joc and Boyz N Da Hood). I've managed such talents as Arrested Developement, OutKast, Xscape, female rapper Sole and Debra Killings. I've given record deals to Bobby Valentino (MISTA), Akon, D-Roc (Yin Yang Twins), Jarvis and Maestro (both with So So Def). I've consulted for Purple Ribbon Entertainment (Big Boi of OutKast), 581 Music Group, Brandon & Brian Caseys (from Jagged Edge) production/publishing/label imprint as well as represented them as producer/songwriters, LaMyia Good, the equally talented sister of actor Meagan Good, and other up and coming independant labels. I'm also developing a couple projects on my own LaunchPad Records Imprint...more about that later. This is all new for me and all my peeps are on so I had to come around and start a page myself. So hang out, post a comment, check out my pics and show some luv!!!
