Producer's Corner: Souldiggaz

March 15th, 2008 | Author: Melanie Cornish

DX: Now you have your third member, which is Corte Ellis, a songwriter. Do you think this is something producers should have on their team so to speak, a songwriter?
B:
Yeah that is something that a lot of people are missing, however a lot of producers are wising up today and are getting their go to people. One of the things that I actually learned, was I went to Miami a few weeks ago with Diddy for the Making of the Band thing. Diddy flew in every writer that has had a top ten hit and he sat everyone down and introduced everyone and he did something by doing that, which I haven’t seen in years. I heard Berry Gordy used to do that and it was really inspiring. To have the top writers and the top beat makers working together, you know you are going to come up with some hits.

DX: Isn’t that the perfect equation though?
B:
Yeah exactly. That is one of the things that we try to do. We pull in the right writers and pick their brains. We are trying to write more also.

DX: Coming up what have you got coming up?
B:
Besides Izza Kizza, we have Donny from Making the Band, [his] first single. We also have tracks with the boy band from Making the Band 4. We are waiting for Missy to get back to us, as we may have one of her next records also. We are working and we are trying to focus on getting a video for the Kizza record and we have a Rock artist we are also trying to work with.

DX: Is this like your alter ego working with the Rock artist?
B:
Yeah kinda yeah. You know what I like? I like to do different music that allows me to express myself. With another Hip Hop artist I tend to stay in the same boundary until I get that mega hit, and then people don’t care what you give them. You know you can give them a bird chirping over a drum track. We are still grinding and still trying to show that music is only going to survive unless you make some changes.
