Mike Leslie and Brandon Walker make up the "The Professors", an up & coming production/songwriting team that composes songs covering R&B/Pop to Hip-Hop, Neo-Soul and Film Scores/Commercial Jingles. These multi-instrumentalists started their career as composers for student films while attending Florida A&M University. After college "The Professors" moved back to Los Angeles. After countless meetings they caught a break when a friend introduced them to Brian McKnight's assistant. This opportunity would soon open doors to major recording artists and exposure to some industry heavy-weights. With eight years under their belt "The Professors" are relishing in the opportunities that have come their way. Most recently, they have signed on to score music for a new Nickelodeon series entitled, "Giggle World" executive produced by Quincy Jones, QDIII and Nick Cannon. Also, be on the lookout for their original film compositions in the upcoming movies, "Can't Stop, Won't Stop", "All Lies On Me" and "Rap Dirty".
Between the two of us, we play 11 instruments. We no longer gig. However, we have perfomed in orchestras, with bands and in hotels and restaurants.
Elmer Bernstein, John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Quincy Jones, Kenneth Edmonds, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and anyone that breathes passion into their craft.
