Methrone

executive producer of the CD. Methrone was raised up by his grandmother Carolyn in the sleepy Florida

Gulf Coast town, 14 miles inland from Tampa. Methrone was dancing by age five, and began to realize

he could sing at twelve.He spent time in the church choir and entered talent shows covering Michael

Jacksons Billie Jean and Beat It, and New Editions Lost In Love. By the time he graduated from high

school, he had begun to teach himself piano by ear and learn the rudiments of using a sequencer to program

tracks and cut his first demo, a song called Lovely Young Thing. Having outgrown the Tampa music

scene, Methrone accepted his sister Fayes invitation to move to Atlanta and pursue his music dreams

there. Working on a keyboard at home, he sequenced his music and found a studio where he could dump

the tracks and record vocals. The three songs on his first demo, Slow and Steady, Last Time, and Got 2 Go,

all of which were cut at Sweet Sounds Productions in Atlanta (and remain grouped together on MY LIFE)

attracted a buzz around town.

Working with his personal manager (Jacqueline Reynolds), Methrone soon came to the attention of the

legendary Willie Clayton. Claytons belief in Methrone is unshakable. His first mission was to get Methrone

to come up with enough additional material to support a full album. He had already written Loving Each

Other For Life, You Dont Have 2 Worry and Your Body, and now followed them up with My Life, Hold

Me, and I Wanna Get Freaky, all six of which were cut at CD 2000 Studios in Atlanta. Willie Clayton stayed

faithful to his word, the album was completed, and soon Methrone was on the road visiting radio stations in

Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit and other major urban markets.

One year later the follow album Picture Me was released.
