Double R likes to keep a low profile, he tells us, but with two Grammy award nominations, that may have to change. Don't be surprised if you don't recognise this fella as he himself admits, he's not one to crave the limelight. But behind the scenes, producer and writer Roger Russell aka Double R has worked with artists from Maxi Priest to the Sugababes and, most notably, So Solid Crew. But it's his work in the US that has earned him a double nomination, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album for the Latin Grammy awards which will be held in Los Angeles. Singer Alezandra Guzmán recorded the song Lipstick, which was penned by Double R and his production crew. Now, both the song and the album also called Lipstick are up for the prestigious award. Double R elaborates on his successful behind-the-scenes career.
How do you feel being nominated for two Grammy awards?
I really am stunned. Its an honour to be recognised for something that you love doing, and to win would be a win for everybody involved. Me, because I was one of the writers of the song, Alezandra obviously because shes the artist. An even better bonus is that the song title is the title of the album which is also up for an award.
Who is Alezandra Guzmán?
She's like a Latin Kylie. But shes more rock. How long have you been involved in the music business? This is my 16th year in the business and I learn something new every day and I thank God for this amazing ride that only He can stop!... So, are you ready for the next Chapter?...Coming soon!..
