As one of the most promising, young producers to grace the Washington, DC metropolitan area, B.Loved is ready to stake his claim as the next buzzmaker to hit the industry. His artistry comes alive as he fuses the fundamentals of R&B; with classic adult contemporary. His music serves as the beautiful instrumental pieces to which artists and lyricists alike feel comfortable and inspired to add their talents. While writing lyrics are also in his repertoire, he concentrates his energy into writing and producing quality songs whose destinies lie in being tomorrow’s greatest hits. Originally, from a small town in South Carolina, B.Loved came to DC via his attendance at Howard University. Like many in the industry, he came to Howard to study an alternate discipline, but always felt his path would lead him to the musical career that he was passionate about. “I grew up in a large household with ten people, each who either sang, played an instrument, or both. Music wasn’t an option, it was my way of life, my childhood, and I knew it would be my future.” Thus, while pursuing a medical degree, he proceeded to make his campus life about displaying his musical side. Much of his life, on and off campus was spent making a name for himself and getting involved with as many musical projects as possible. On campus, he composed music for frats and sororities for step shows, worked with several fine art students on their musical projects, and created material for aspiring vocalists. In addition to his creative talents, he was learning to develop technical studio and stage skills. To expand this area and also network, he began to seize opportunities working in these capacities. One of his first experiences was his work as Studio Assistant for mutli-platinum producer/former Bad Boy HitMan, Chucky Thompson at his label Chucklife Productions. Here he worked in all studio and artist performance capacities. Through a series of independent projects, he also worked with platinum producer Bill Appleberry, companies such as Sweet Soul Entertainment, national artists Frankie, local artists Knightz of the Roundtable, LLAKE (aka 4U), and Power of Three, and at such venues as Ruffhouse Recording Studios, For Sisters Only, and Unifest. B.Loved has also had the experience of working with producers of Usher, TLC, Faith Evans, Notorious BIG, Nas, Born Jamericans, Ice Cube, Kelly Price, Mary J. Blige, SWV, New Edition, Bishop T.D. Jakes Sr., Carl Thomas, Mariah Carey, and Jennifer Lopez.Now under new management and with a multitude of songs yet to be heard, B.Loved is ready to take his career to the next level. “I’ve been a musician since age eleven – starting with the piano, moving on to the sax, and now perfecting the guitar. My music keeps maturing and I want to present it to the world.” Musical influences such as Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Lionel Richie, and Brian McKnight serve as inspiration for the type of music he serves up. He can identify with these writers and their commitment to the basics - melody, quality, and innovation. B.Loved also credits his motivation to his faith in God and his supportive family. One of the key aspects of B.Loved’s creative process is how he manifests the concepts for his songs . “The way I write my music may be different than other musicians. I begin with a story in my head, somewhat of a mini movie, and I write a soundtrack to it. Other times, I make music by ‘playing’ emotions, be they feelings of love or loss. When naming my songs, I just name the ‘movie’ in my head.” His primary aim is to write the kind of music that evokes emotion and touches lives. B.Loved is now introducing his music to the world. With each day being more prolific than the day before.
