His musical influences are widely expanded with artists such as Phil Collins, 2Pac, Lil Flip, Cyndi Lauper, Amy Grant, Jaheim and many others.
It certainly has been a long trip for Scandalous. In 1997, he recorded his first track with a group called the Rhymester MOB under the label Scud Death Threat Records. At the time, his alias was Prymetyme 3, the group worked on their first effort, The Way It Should Sound. In 1998, he took some of the tracks from that album and added his own for his second solo album, Its Still All Good. (His first solo album was called Respect Others, Respect Yourself) Because of the difficulty of getting the Rhymester MOB together, he formed his own label under Scud Death Threat Records called S.M.T.O. Entertainment with several of his own artists in 1999. A few months after S.M.T.O. Entertainment was formed the label Scud Death Threat Records went under.
In 2001, Prymetyme 3 bumped into Playboy - T in college, where Playboy - T was an artist/president of Divine City Records. Prymetyme 3 changed his name to Scandalous (the Scoundrel) and in 2002, Playboy - T separated from Divine City Records and they started their own company, Unfadeable Records.
After producing and writing the choruses for Playboy - Ts entire album, The Playboy Mansion, the two went their separate ways in late 2005. Playboy - T now runs Unfadeable Records and Scandalous started his own label, Breath of Heaven Management - International. After the breakup, Scandalous began writing commercials for different advertising companies, producing for many different artists (some major, some independent) and has written over 40 songs for Raynard Miner (famous songwriter credited for Rescue Me, (Your Love) Is Lifting Me Higher, and more), Stevie Wonder, and Fabrice Sioul (vocal coach, producer for the French television show Star Academy).
