Now many of you know me from being the niece of FATS LEWIS who had FURY RECORDS and ENJOY RECORDS with THE LEGENDARY BOBBY ROBINSON. I got into music for the love and wrote songs early with Michael B, the music dj for the seventies group DOUBLE EXPOSURE - MY LOVE IS FREE AND 10 PERCENT, he introduced me to RICHIE WEEKS and PATRICK ADAMS and I wrote a song they co produced with me called the A TRAIN, which the hook was inspired by KURTIS BLOW'S AJ. AJ, the legendary DJ used to go with my now deceased little cousin SIMONE SMART, who also introduced me to MELLE MEL when we were kids. Now after writing with Mike B I started writing and interning for Donald D Bowden who was managing Mike G while we were in tenth grade. DONALD D INTRODUCED ME TO THE STUDIO AND I BEGAN PRODUCING AND LEARNING THE BOARDS. WE WORKED WITH SOME SERIOUS ACTS - MILIRA, SWV, THE CAPITAL RECORDS ARTISTS, HE WORKED WITH SPRING RECORDS, POSSEE, THE GRAY LABEL AND THEN WE WORKED WITH HIS BROTHER B FATS - THE WOP CREATOR ALONG WITH TEDDY RILEY. DURING THIS TIME I WAS ALSO WORKING as a singer in a group started by STRAFE - SET IT OFF. IT was me and PEACHES BROWN KNOWN TO SOME OF YOU AS EGYPT LAWSON. THE GROUP WAS CALLED YUM YUM. WE ALSO RECEIVED A PRODUCTION AND RECORDING CONTRACT FROM GENE GRIFFIN. I also modeled for the GRACE DEL MARCO MODELING/DEE SIMMONS, SOLOMON DOOLEY, BLACK FASHION MUSEUM, CLASS MAGAZINE, AND THEN THE TESTBOARD.HOWEVER, MOST OF YOU KNOW ME AS MRS. SANTA ON THE ROOFTOP RECORDS CHRISTMAS ALBUM COVER. MY INTRODUCTION TO TELEVISION CAME VIA OLIVER RICHARDSON WHO EXPOSED ME AS ONE OF OLLIES ANGELS ON THE SHOW FIRST EXPOSURE. I THEN WENT ON TO DO ON BROADWAY, AND AT CITY COLLEGE UNDER THE MASTERMIND OF LARRY WOODS, WE MADE S.A.M.E TV THE PREMIERE TV STUDIO AND PRODUCED BEEBOY TV, I THEN MET JOHNNY PIU AT CITY COLLEGE AND ALONG WITH HIM AND RONEL BECAME SEXY SOUL ENTERTAINMENT AND CREATED THE GOLDEN LADY SHOW WHICH WAS MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE ADULT ENTERTAINMENT WORLD. AS A CO PRODUCER ONLY THOUGH. THEN BECAUSE I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE PLIGHT OF OUR PEOPLE AND GETTING BACK INTO ENTERTAINMENT OF MUSIC I HELP JOHNNY PIU WITH HIS GRASSROOTS EDUTAINMENT TALK SHOW. SO YOU SEE I HAVE DONE IT ALL. BUT DID I TELL YOU I MANAGED ARTISTS ALSO. YEAH I MANAGED MELISSA THOMAS, now called MELSOUL TREE. She is the voice on the New Jack City SOUNDTRACK SONG LYRICS TO THE RHYTHM WITH THE ARTIST ESSENCE, PRODUCED BY THE ONE AND ONLY GRANDMASTER FLASH. SHE IS ALSO ON THE SONG WALK A LITTLE CLOSER THIS WAY WITH THE CUTE SQUEAKY VOICE RAPPER NTYCE AND IS HEARD ON THE FULL FORCE PRODUCED SONG DR LUV WITH DR ICE OF UTFO/WHODINI. I ALSO MANAGED GROUPS AND PRODUCED WITH KURT WOODLEY WHO WAS THE MANAGER OF MARY J BLIGE, JEFF REDD. I EVENTUALLY BEGAN PROMOTING MY LYRICS AND WORKED WITH DJ BARRY B AND DOUG E FRESH WITH AN ARTIST I MANAGED NAMED GINA VEGAS WHO ALSO COWROTE SONGS WITH ME AND WE WROTE FOR MISS JONES, THE RADIO PERSONALITY WHO HAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICES OUT THERE. I ALSO MANAGED AND COPRODUCED THE RAPPER/STYLIST DEYZAVOO, THE WHEATBREAD CLOTHING LINE, WHICH IS A MINK BAG AND BOOT LINE AS WELL AS NATURAL SKINS COUTURE.
