"The Songwriter"

COMING SOON!!!!!!
The Book "Stolen Treasures"
"I was on the bus stop when I first heard my song "Somebody Sleeping In My Bed" which, I wrote concerning Mark Gordon's girlfriend, Beverly Miller (Theo Miller's sister) I met Beverly, when Mark ask me to write a song for her...We, became friends...There is a very unique story behind this song, but you have to read the book to get the details...This song, in my opinion was one of Dru Hill's biggest Hits... Mark, managed a group entitled Two Plus Two...I penned songs 4 them, which was somewhat in the NEw Edition style if you will... The Artist like Chris Brown ended up with one of those songs...Monica ended up with one of the songs...Baby Face ended up with one of my songs...
Tevin Campbell recorded one of my songs under the production of Quincy Jones...Every writer has a unique musical DNA...and every song I have written has the same Beautiful Melodys running through them...Many of my songs had what some would say multiple hooks and bridges throughout...And the theifs didn't have to do to much to make them work...

In 1986 I penned a song entitled "Somebody Sleeping In MY Bed" That song, along with many others were stolen...
Mark Gordon, former manager of QD3, who was also my manager at the time, is one of the key people involved in the theft of my intellectual property...Theodore Miller, who worked on projects with QD3, including, "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air" is one of the individuals involved in the theft of my intellectual property... I know for a fact Theodore Miller used my music to create for the "Prince of Bel Air" During that time I actually lived with Theodore Miller...Many of my applications for copyrights his old address on them. That same year I submitted a BMI application for which I never received a Clearance Form for the song "Somebodys Sleeping In My Bed" Produced by Daryl Simmons For Silent Partners Production...Hmm...The Copyright Office Can't produce a copy of my deposit with the song included on the cassette that I submitted with my application...BMI reppresentative at the time said they rejected my application, because someone had a song with that same title...There is only one person who had the kind of Power and Influence to make this happen, and it wasn't QD3... J'son Tyree was also one of the artist that I penned songs for, on their behalf...He eventually ended up with Hollywood Records...Many of the songs they stolen from me went platinum...My story of songs will take you to the door of Jungle Records, inside the studio of the one and only Ouincy Jones, who was one of my heros...take you to the front door of QD3 and to the streets of Skid Road...All the way to Washington DC to Congresswoman Maxine Waters desk and the Copyright Office...There is a trail that will lead me to Warner Brothers, where I would end up getting cursed out by my homeboy Howard Hewett, via telephone...Somebody, I really admired and looked up to...There are so many stories within this Story...

This is a Songwriters Story...a story of betrayal and hardship...A story of being despised and rejected...but also, a story of triumph!!! They hated me because of my gift...There were no Klu KLux KLansman, There was no Jim Crow working here...There were no White men doing injustice here...I was greeted by natives in the JUNGLE.... And these natives were BLACK.

I was in the midst of these individuals and thought I was part of the mix...I was played, and didn't even know...I was still waiting for a meeting with Mark, and they had already connected...They had already purchased houses and were riding high, while I was still on the bus stop... In my opinion, it was criminal and vicious...I ask Mark what he could work out for me...He said, "I just don't know how to market you"...In the background I could hear the track of Mr. X, with my melodies running all through it...
They would shoot his video that day in the jungle, ending it with a pool side shoot at QD3's...Where Mark had a special role for me, to stand at the front door...I guess I was the spook who stood by QD3's door... I think it is a sad commentary, because we could have accomplished much more working together... THey chose to rip me off...

I came out to Cali with a dream to become this successful songwriter and my treasures ended up in the chests of others...There are folks out there who have received awards that really belong to me...that are receiving royalties from songs which belong to me...While I struggle everyday, living from hand to mouth, and yet I have the gift to write and do many things...But ain't nobody dealing with me...They didn't only screw over me, they BlackBalled me so I wouldn't Get In the BUsiness...and Clowned me in their Sitcoms...LOL...Statue of Limitations...

COMING SOON! "STOLEN TREASURES"
