D&D Studios is a small, one-room, eight-track studio started in the Bronx by David Lotwin and Doug Grama after they met each other in high school. Originally doing mainly freestyle and dance music, Dj Premier began producing all his work at the studio and coincidentally has brought just about everyone who's important in New York hip-hop through the studio at one time or another, including Krs-one, the Beatminerz, Nas, Jay-z, Blackmoon, Funkmaster Flex, and The Notorious B.i.g., among others. By the late '90s, it had become one of the most famous studios in all of hip-hop. ~ Brad Mills, All Music Guide
Neo-soul songstress Corinne Bailey Rae was born in Leeds, England, in 1979 to a British mother and West Indian father. Displaying an interest in music from an early age, Rae studied classical violin until she acquired an electric guitar in her early teens. Inspired by such '90s alt-rock icons as L7, Veruca Salt, and others, Rae formed her first band, the all-female indie rock outfit Helen.
