LaMont Fleming began his journey in music many years ago. His initial training was with his father, Walter Fleming. LaMont's father, Walter had his own band on the Chittlin Circuit playing behind major recording artist. After working with his father up to the tender age of 10, Mr. Fleming signed his son over to school teacher, Clarence Jenkins (CJ)/CJ Productions to further his career. With a production situation 10-year-old LaMont began his quest toward a professional career. After joining a trio group named LaMaRe, he began to write and produce original pieces for the group at the age of 12. LaMont possesses an incredible ear and the ability to remake old songs with remarkable vocal arrangements and harmonies. It wasn't long before the group caught the attention of BET'S producer Sita Lewis,(now employed with BLP production of New York, NY), who signed the group up for BET'S Talent Showcase Teen Summit. Of all the top competitors including the female vocal group X-SCAPE, LaMont's group based on his vocal arrangements of "Hard To Say Goodbye" by far finished as the top act, bringing the studio audience to their feet. LaMont continued his art of singing, writing and producing all over the country as the group amazed crowds with their vocal ability and arrangements. The group was offered a 14 state tour but settled for a 7 state tour due to school and tour date conflicts. After many shows and the tour LaMont's trio, LaMaRe, was off to the big apple New York working with super producer, Troy Taylor. During his tenure LaMont worked as an understudy to Troy Taylor for a period of 10 years working with such artist as Destiny's Child, Tyrese, Carl Thomas, Johnny Gill and many others. On the NFL Jam CD LaMont wrote "Get It Started", recorded by Johnnie Gill on which he sung background. After working with many other artists LaMont and Troy Taylor packaged and shopped his trio group, One to Grow On, to various labels. DreamWorks, Gerald Busby signed the group; LaMont and Troy wrote and produced seventy-five percent (75%) of the album. Sadly enough, Gerald Busby exited from DreamWorks putting the group in a permanent hold status. Devastated from the loss of a recording contract and the breakup of his group LaMont continued to move forward making it clear to everyone this was his dream and desire therefore he will pray, regroup and move forward (Throwing in the towel wasn't an option). Young LaMont Fleming partnered with his long time friend CJ and started his own production company HitMission. They began shopping LaMont's material and developing young talent. To Lamont Fleming credit he discovered, wrote and produced a 15-song demo in launching Chris Brown's career. Lamont worked tirelessly in building Chris into the Artist you see today. Vocal coaching, Vocal training, Life training all played a key in the development of Chris. Chris and Lamont continue to have a great friendship to the day. In a short time LaMont has placed three songs including the first single "TONIGHT- 2 STEP" on ARISTA/Zomba Recording Artists Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore's New LP "UNCOVERED" IN STORES NOW!!
