About Me

My name is Vinny Kumar. I run the AVX Music Group (Artist roster currently includes: Basic Vocab, Dynas) with my partners Tony Galvin and Foxx - I am also the General Manager and a producer for the Black Mob Group (Grand Hustle/Atlantic Records). The Black Mob Group has produced several hit songs for artists including "Shut Up" for Trick Daddy (Atlantic Records), "Baddest B*tch" for Trina (Atlantic Records), "Ballin' Boy" for No Good (Artist Direct), "Oochie Pop" for Mystikal (Jive Records), "You Know Who" for T.I. (Atlantic Records) feat. Travis Barker (Blink 182) - and has produced for other prominent artists including Young Jeezy, P$C, Cee Lo, Dave Ghetto, Deuce Poppi, Lil Scrappy, Basic Vocab, Dynas, Common, Dead Prez, Dirtbag, etc. - I also work at the Keniley Law Firm in Atlanta, GA with my mentor Scott Keniley, Esq. I have gained experience in the entertainment industry through my work with Teddy Riley (Blackstreet, Guy), Universal Music Group (Legal and Business Affairs), and Slip N' Slide Records (Business Affairs). Once I switched over to a music profile, it deleted all my personal info - that's why I'm giving you all this useless information here.
