Getting to know producer Douglas Richardson
In a world of cookie cutter rap and formulated music it is refreshing to stumble upon raw talent such as Douglas Richardson. Richardson is a downtempo Hip Hop/R&B producer that has truly embraced his craft. His style is down tempo piano melodies layered over chords and boom bap drums.
Some of his influences include Tory Lanez, Weeknd, Partynextdoor, and Bryson Tiller. He just completed his first Beatpack and his working on his sencond.
Understanding the importance of the business side of things Douglas is currently searching to create a powerhouse team for his music. I recently checked out a couple of his tracks.
Amazing Grace is a track with a futuristic feel woth a smooth melodic 90’s R&B feel. This track is the perfect blend with hypnotic beats and a unique style.
Betrayal will satisfy the ears of the most discerning music listeners. It has a chill, laid back flow that anyone would enjoy.
I gotta tell you, Douglas Richardson is certainly setting the bar high for other upcoming producers. His instrumentals are unique and captivating. He is definitely going to become one of the greats for this era!

Surviving a near fatal car crash R&B singer Gio aka Governor is back stronger than ever with new releases!
Known and respected from his days and affiliations with Atlantic Records, 50Cent, Dr. Dre, or T.I.’s Grand Hustle imprint Gio, (aka Governor) is back stronger than ever. He has an impressive discography that includes three studio albums and he is a Billboard charting singer/songwriter. His music has been heard on several movie soundtracks including Tyler Perry’s “Daddy’s Little Girls,” and more recently the single, “Favorite Pillow,” was featured in the Movie DEUCES, starring Meagan Good & Lorenz Tate.
With a smooth, melodic voice he truly embraces the essence of R&B that so many fans yearn for today. 50Cent once said that Washington was “extremely talented” and that “he is about to blow.” However, life had other plans, and a detour or two. Despite those obstacles, Gio is back and impacting R&B with his latest song, “I Give You Me.” Gio officially released “I Give You Me,” on June 14th of this year. “Favorite Pillow,” is next, and a full album will follow later this year. When asked what is the best piece of advice in this business you actually followed? And one you didn’t follow, but now know for sure that you should have he replied, “The best advice I followed was knowing that every craft requires tools! I try my best to have ownership or at least part in all aspects from my microphone to my tracks. I have input in everything because I need a piece of all I interact with! The one lesson I learned the hard way was TRUST! Now, I don’t trust anyone. I don’t need new friends. I just want to do good business!”
From a small county called Charles City, Va he has been pursuing his passion for music for over a decade. His musical influences include Marvin Gaye, Barry Manilow, Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Teena Marie and many more! With a truly magnetic personality and stage presence he has garnered fans worldwide.

Clearwater Florida’s Hidden Gem Lee Jones!
Who would’ve ever thought Clearwater Florida would have such very talented and gifted Musician, Singer, Song writer, Music Producer and Vocal Coach. It is my pleasure to introduce myself to you. My name is Lee Jones known as Lee J. I am a native of Clearwater, Florida, 46 years old born and raised. I am happily married with a beautiful loving family of 6. I started to notice I have a passion for music at about age 6 starting in the church now specializing in ballads better known for being a balladeer. I am grateful to be able to write my own original songs and play all the musical instruments.
Being that I’m from such a small city, I was honored to work as a producer for a gentleman by the names of Tony Mercedes and B-Rock who worked for Laface Records ,Arista, Atlantic and Big Beat 1990 through 2000.
Just to give you a few artist’s I had the honor to produce music for; Toni Braxton Remix “Love me some him”, The late TLC. “Water Falls” Remix, Outcast “Wheels of Steel” Remix, “Lenny Williams” Remix “Star Light”. Certainly there are more.Prior to being a High School football All American, right out of High School, I was nominated one of the best Jazz musicians in Pinellas for which I received a scholarship. I had an offer for Berkley University Boston but my 1st born child was born so I stayed in Clearwater to work so I could be close to her.
I decided to start a solo career which I have waited patiently for my opportunity to shine!
For sure, “I’m ready”!
“ I believe”,” God allows us to go through life’s challenges but if we stay strong and NEVER stop believing in our dreams and ourselves, we will accomplish anything we desire. Be on the look out for his new album “Diary Of A Confused Man”Contact info:
