::: Eric Bellinger :::

Los Angeles born and bred singer-songwriter Eric Bellinger’s destiny preceded him. Grandson of Jackson 5 hit making songwriter Bobby Day (Rockin’ Robin, Little Bitty Pretty One), Bellinger has been singing since he could speak.

Captain of his high school football team, the day came for Eric to choose between a scholarship to pursue a football career at the prestigious University of Southern California or follow his passion in music. Not long after making the difficult decision to turn down USC, Bellinger joined the R&B group AKNU (A Kind Never Understood) and was soon signed to Epic Records by two of the music industries most successful executives, Max Gousse and Tommy Mottola.

After experiencing success recording and touring with AKNU, Eric returned home to work on new music and discovered another passion, songwriting. The exceptionally gifted singer and rapper mastered his natural ability to instantly hear melody and rhythm under the guidance of childhood friend and mentor Erika Nuri of The Writing Camp.

A successful Grammy Award Winning Singer, Songwriter, Vocal Producer and Engineer Eric Bellinger is an all star talent who continues to deliver thought provoking lyrics with beautiful melodies over lush harmonies.

::: Young Dro :::

D’Juan Hart, better known by his stage name Young Dro is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia and a protégé of T.I.. He performed as Dro from 2000 until he signed to T.I.’s label in 2006, when he became known as Young Dro.
Young Dro was born Djuan Hart in Bankhead Atlanta, Georgia. Young Dro grew up the second oldest of his mother’s five boys and somewhere amongst the middle seven of his father’s 21 children. It was during his teen years that he befriended the now Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist T.I. Neither of the two took music seriously at the time.

Young Dro didn’t even consider a career in music until another one of his friends, Chris ‘Daddy Mack’ Smith, scored platinum success as one half of early 90s duo Kris Kross. To make his dream a reality, he first hooked up with pioneering southern rapper Raheem the Dream in the late 90s, who at the time had Drama and D4L front man Fabo signed to his local label. By the end of 2002, Young Dro had the city ablaze with his independent hit single “Yes Sir” and regional hit album “I Got That Dro.”

“Best Thang Smokin’” his second studio album was released on August 29, 2006. It reached number three on the Billboard 200 chart and the top spot on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Billboard Top Rap Albums charts. The first single off the album was “Shoulder Lean,” which made the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 & Number 1 The Hot R&B/Hip Hop Songs charts. This Was Young Dro’s First Top 10 single. The song was certified 2 times platinum by the RIAA.
