01 The Book {Intro}

Born in Newark NJ {Brick City} && raised in East Orange NJ I moved to L.A. Ca. many moons ago to pursue my dreams of becoming a successful Songwriter & Musician. As it turns out, there was alot more job descriptions waiting on me to learn & add to my musical arsenal.

Having worked with a Who's Who in the music 'GAME'...it's much easier to answer the question of WHO I haven't worked with & WHO I don't know in this industry.

Personally developed & trained by three {Yeah, that's right count 'em...3} legendary Musical Icons. Starting with my first teacher/Mentor/Big Brother: *Leon Sylvers III*/The late great: *Norman Whitfield Sr. {RIP}/&&: *Steveland Morris* aka: *Stevie Wonder*

I am a graduate of the *SOLAR RECORDS* machine. In fact, I often say that SOLAR Records, was my MOTOWN. It was there & later @ *Silverspoon Prods* {Leon Sylvers' Production Company} that "I" especially learned how to hone my: Production/Songwriting/Musician/Programming/&& Arrangement skill sets!

These are just some of the few Artist over the years I've had the distinct pleasure of either Producing/Writing/Arranging/Programming/Singing BGVS/ for:

*Gladys Knight/Billy Porter/Regina Belle/Ex-Girlfriend/Tony, Toni, Tone/Carol DuBoc/Shalamar/The Whispers/Klymaxx/George Duke/Kenny Lattimore/Immature {IMx}/HAMI/Whitney Houston/Marva King/Mikki Howard/Howie Rice/Sherrick {RIP}/Tony LeManns {RIP}/Norman Connors/Aya/Blue Six/Havanna/Natalie Williams*- etc,etc,etc!

Currently, I am preparing to go in the studio with my vocal group {For which I am 1 of 3 founding members} *Chronicles* @ the Production helm iz...*Leon Sylvers III*/Smooth Jazz Trumpeter/Artist: *TyG*...R&B sensation: *Robert Gee*/Nu Comer: *Davina Chakon* && of course 2 brand Nu artist, that of course I'm NOT @ liberty to get into, but rest assure 'THEY' will be dropping someone in the very near future {2013}.

If U need to get @ me, U can find me on practically every social network there iz just Google my name: *Bzo Cavaness* & see what pops up! {LOL}

In the meanwhile plz, feel free to check out my array of music designed for a wide pallet. Lemme know what U think, Ur comments are welcomed & embraced by me!

I'd love to hear from U...GBU!
