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.
Why this name?
In school i had a dorm room and my mini-studio set up in the room. When i would have young ladies to come by I would sing and play for them. One day one of my guests said "You just want to be loved don't you." Thus, B.Loved was born.
Do you play live?
All of my work is usually done in recording studios. I have performed at a few venues, but my love is for the studio atmosphere
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
In my mind I think of the music industry as a small door that everyone is trying to get into at once. The internet and MP3 has not only widened the door but completely demolished the wall that the door was in. I feel that through the internet, everyone has a voice.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes. I think that this is yet another way for people to hear your music more. In addition since people are making money off of you they are going to try to push your music just as much as you would. You also have opportunities afforded to to you that are not yet present on an individual basis.
