Known as one of musicâs most valuable players, songwriter/producer Bryan Michael Cox stepped away from the studio for several projects in 2008. After penning some of the year’s top hits including Mariah Careyâs âI Stay In Love,â Cox stepped up to plate as executive producer of Monicaâs upcoming album âLessons Learned.â Speaking with Singersroom about the experience Cox said âItâs been an interesting experience for me. Iâve learned a lot from Clive and Iâve learned a lot from this process.â The songwriter/producerâs journey with Monica was also chronicled on Atlantaâs Peachtree TV during the fall through a deal the songwriter and singer inked with the station. Monica: The Single, a show that highlighted Monicaâs return to music after establishing a family life in the Atlanta area became both a television and internet sensation, garnering the attention of blogs, radio stations and podcasts. Monica: The Single was however, just a stepping stone for the âSince Youâve Been Goneâ producer. Cox also put together a deal for another reality series entitled âStudio Exposed,â a comedic peek into his world amidst a cast of characters whose personal and private lives are centered in the studio. While reality television ended up being a successful venture for the multi-tasking producer, Cox also found time to give back. Teaming with Warner Chapel, Cox signed several songwriters to a publishing deal including Anna Clark and Kendrick Dean while also moving forward with his dreams to step into the classroom. Inked late this year, Bryan Michael Cox will become a professor of sorts at Atlantaâs School of Audio Engineering. Cox tells Singersroom: âI begin lecturing in January on everything from music production to the music business because I feel like the information is important. Itâs important to give information back to people that really get it. I didnât get a chance to get that when I was coming up.â
Since 2005, Singersroom has been the voice of R&B around the world. Connect with us via social media below.
