My songwriting partner JayTel and I leave Houston next week heading to Los Angeles/Beverly Hills/Hollywood to hook up with our manager, Nick Velo, to get in to write with several established producers, and to take a few meetings with publishing companies...God has blessed us, and we have worked hard to put ourselves in this position so I'm very excited about it!
Nick's booking all the sessions...I know a couple of the producers we'll be working with, but I'ma keep them under my hat till next week! I'll post the pics from the studio sessions and meetings at the various labels here for you guys to see, and keep you posted on as much of our progress as I can!
Here are some pics from our last trip to LA...the first pic is MdL, a dope 17 year old producer from right outside LA...when we met him, he was working out of the back room at his parents' crib, and now he's PLATINUM...peep "Down To Earth" off Justin Bieber's MY WORLD album! MdL is part of Midi Mafia, and co-produced the record. Congrats to him! We did a dooooope record with him called "Voicemail" that the world will be hearing very soon.
The second pic is Greg Ogan, a member of The Writing Camp, whose most well known member is Evan "Kidd" Bogart, who wrote "Halo" for Beyonce, among many, many other smash records! We'll be working with Greg when we get back to LA.
The third pic is of Harvey Mason Jr's studio, one of the dopest spots i've ever been in. Harvey was one of the founding members of The Underdogs, who produced "No Air" for Jordin Sparks f/Chris Brown, and the music from the movie "Dreamgirls", among many, many other hits! We went there with Touch from Def Jam to meet Mansur, an up and coming producer in Harvey's camp, who we wrote records with for Shonie (Slip N Slide), and Khalil (Def Jam).
The fourth pic is of my partner in music, JayTel, mixing vocals on a record we wrote at Chalice Studios. It was 2 or 3 in the morning, and the air conditioner had been on in the room all night so he lost his voice from this session and could barely sing the next day! I believe we were working on the record we did for Lupe Fiasco with J.R. Don't know if the song made his album, but it was a great record!
The last pic is of Chalice Studios, Jonathan J.R. Rotem's studio. We worked there for two nights during our last visit, and wrote songs with J.R. for Plies, Lupe Fiasco, and took a shot at Leona Lewis' last album. Wait till part two!
Stay tuned!!!
