EQ FEMALE PRODUCER
ERICA "EQ" HENSON, ORIGINALLY FROM THE NYC NOW RELOCATED TO HOUSTON, HAS BEEN PRODUCING FOR 2 YEARS AND CAN ALREADY BRING IT AS HARD AS MOST SEASONED PRODUCERS. THIS WAS PROVEN RECENTLY AS EQ (THE ONLY PARTICIPATING FEMALE PRODUCER) WAS CHOSEN 1ST RUNNER UP AT THE 2007 HOUSTON BEAT BATTLE, BEATING OUT 10 OTHER TALENTED PRODUCERS TO REPRESENT HOUSTON AT THE TEXAS BEAT BATTLE IN DECEMBER 2007. A WRITER AT HEART, EQ HAS LEARNED TO TRANSFORM HER ABILITY TO WRITE INTO MUSICAL COMPOSITION. AS THE FIRST LADY OF DESIAC MUSIC, EQ ACTS AS A GHOSTWRITER, PRODUCER AND LYRICIST. EQ HAS COLLABORATED WITH ARTISTS SUCH AS HONESTY OF NORTH CAROLINA FOR WHOM SHE PRODUCED THE TRACK "GET YOUR HANDS UP" OFF THE MIXTAPE "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH." EQ HAS ALSO PRODUCED FOR KD OR KRK ENTERTAINMENT, GORGEOUS SLIM OF BABD RECORDS AND WILL HAVE A SPOT ON THE UPCOMING AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MIXTAPE FROM THA KID MD OF NEW LIFE ENTERTAINMENT. EQ IS THE CREATOR AND MODERATOR OF THE FEMME_FATALES PRODUCERS SITE, WHERE SHE HELPS TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT HER FELLOW FEMALE PRODUCERS THAT ARE TRYING TO SCRATCH THE SURFACE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. WITH A HOST OF COLLABORATIONS IN THE WORKS, EQ IS A FEMALE FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH AND INTENDS TO BECOME AN INTRICAL PART OF THE HOUSTON MUSIC SCENE AND BEYOND!
