Hip Hop Artist Interviews
Industry heavyweights and fast rising phenoms step inside the DJBooth for exclusive interviews with DJ Z
Cassie Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, Interviews
It might be a stretch to call Cassie‘s rise to fame a fairy tale (Cinderella never worked as a model in New York City, after all), but her story does contain certain elements of the fantastic. The 19-year-old singer has come a long way since her stage debut as one of the seven dwarves in a fifth grade production of Snow White, and she couldn’t have …

Nina Sky Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, Interviews
What could be better than a beautiful, multi-talented female R&B singer/songwriter? Nina Sky fans already know the answer to this question: a matching pair of them. The double-threat duo, composed of identical twin sisters Nicole and Natalie Albino, brings a lot to the table; both possessed of powerful singing voices and strong songwriting sensibilities, the two look to a wide range of influences, incorporating Nicole’s skills …

Brandy Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
Brandy has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and as a result has taken home over 100 awards and honors. Yet the acclaimed singer and her pop hits have remarkably been absent from the charts for this entire half-decade. Now, more than four years since the release of her last project, “Aphrodisiac,” the 29-year-old is on the comeback trail with the impending release of her …

The-Dream & Tricky Stewart Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, Producer, R&B, Interviews
Christopher “Tricky” Stewart and Terius “The-Dream” Nash took over the radio in March of 2007, and they haven’t loosened up their grip ever since. As Rihanna’s smash single, “Umbrella,” exploded across the country, the production and writing talents of both men immediately skyrocketed into high-demand. In the months to follow, the duo was courted to create hit records for Mary J. Blige (“Just Fine”), Mariah Carey …

Sean Kingston Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, Interviews
When Sean Kingston stepped foot inside our DJBooth nearly one year ago, a then 17-year-old artist had just begun his rise to fame. Since that interview Kingston has enjoyed the success of his #1 hit single, “Beautiful Girls,” which helped the teen sensation achieve a gold-certified debut and garner over ten million digital downloads. A year older and a little more experienced, Kingston is currently pushing …

Sean “The Pen” Garrett Interview
Filed under: Pop, Producer, R&B, Songwriter, We Got Next, Interviews
Pick a song you’ve heard multiple times on the radio over the past few years. If the record reached #1, chances are that it was penned by none other than Sean Garrett. Responsible for 13 –no, that is not a misprint—number 1 records since 2005, Garrett no doubt receives holiday cards from the likes of Usher (Yeah!), Chris Brown (Wall to Wall), Fergie (London Bridge) and …

D. Woods Interview
Filed under: Industry Heavyweights, Pop, R&B, Interviews
D. Woods, of Bad Boy Records’ Danity Kane, is a self-proclaimed “chameleon.” In addition to her work as one fifth of the platinum-selling singing group, Woods is a talented songwriter and entrepreneur. Heck, when Beyonce was telling all the independent women to stand up, D. Woods was already on her feet. In addition to her work on Danity Kane’s forthcoming sophomore release, “Welcome to the Dollhouse,” …

Tiffany Evans Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
At the age of 15, most teenage girls spend their time working out problems with boys, clothes and school. Columbia Records recording artist Tiffany Evans, however, is not “most teenage girls.” This April she will release her self-titled debut album, four months before she turns 16. Despite what her birth certificate may say, Evans feels she has been forced to mature quicker than most teens her …

Kevin Michael Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, We Got Next, Interviews
When Hip-Hop and R&B music both were born, each was helmed by the greatest of talent. At the time of their individual conception, the absolute majority of those who practiced both were of African American persuasion. As times have changed, skin color has meant less and talent has meant more. Need proof? Just ask Atlantic Records recording artist, Kevin Michael. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Michael …

Cene Interview
Filed under: Pop, R&B, Interviews
Over the course of history, there have been many analogies used to compare women and cars. While these comparisons are sometimes highly inappropriate, their creative nature can usually put even the most uptight listener at ease. For 18-year old singer Cene, a good, religious girl from North Carolina, her introductory single “My Bumper” (use your imagination) is nowhere near controversial and is only picking up steam …
