Mary J Blige Remix Opportunity




Opportunity to do a Remix for a Major Label Artist

MARY J BLIGE

Okay, here's the scoop. Mary J. Blige has an awesome design-artist and makeup-artist D'Andre, who is also a wonderful singer, artist, entertainer and has this voice that is the most compelling that anyone has every heard - you've heard it here...... Well, late last year he contacted me to do a remix of his upcoming single "All Around You (Circle of Life)" which is coming out later this spring.

We really rocked this remix, and it's coming out soon... okay?? THIS SONG WILL ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!! Well, he like us all, have a day job, and that is touring the world doing spectacular work as a design and makeup artist for Mary J Blige. He is her pal, and he played her my remix of his song. Mary J Blige Loved it!!!!!! She then had her business manager send LFB and a few other choice remixers the real original voals and tracks to do a "spec test remix" of "Just Fine" the most current single Mary J. has out there.

So......I got busy for a couple of weeks in late February and did a bang-up remix, that rocks.

Here's the "reality series" scoop....while the left hand was soliciting these remixes from me and twelve other remixers, the european arm of her label had already worked with Moto Blanco on a wonderful Neuvo-Disco remix, which was released out of out Europe and that remix took charge and got radio play on international dance radio.

So, the managment and the label (Geffen Records) were, well, let's take these remixes down to the final six (hello.....in there like swimwear!!), but let that cool mix by Moto just work this song "Just Fine"and then.....let's move on...work the dance floor with it....and move on to the next single..... which is....." TBA".

Kinda what labels do...make it a business decision. But from where we stood, other than getting the national "let's move on", we really decided it was seriously a "WIN" to get a major label artist like Mary J. Blige to hear our work and solicit a remix from us and then give us the nod to get it played out there.

So, that's where it is.....my friends......kind of in the ozone,,,,,, but it got played on many many many dance floors all around the world (!!!) while the minions were deciding what do do with the right hand who already had a hit european realease.

We're proud of the invitation and givng you the opportunity to here it here: www.myspace.com/leofrappierband

Have a great weekend!

hugs,
