  • Redirect to One_Woman_Army#Recording for now as it seems he has received the most attention for this. I didn't find anything reliable for working with Pitbull but I did find [http://www.bet.com/news/music/2011/05/08/ciara-to-sign-with-src-universal-motown-.html this] which mentions working with Ciara. At this time, it seems he is best known for working with Ciara's 2013 album. After multiple detailed searches, I found [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2010/12/grape-juice-interviews-soundz/ this interview] from 2010 and Justin Bieber mentions [http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/books/5476244/Bieber-book-to-examine-singers-faith here], [http://entertainment.msn.co.nz/article.aspx?id=8290486 here] and [http://popcrush.com/justin-bieber-believe-album-review/ here]. I attempted to search for reliable sources on Kelly Rowland but only found that interview I mentioned earlier which repeatedly mentions her and I found [http://www.sonicscoop.com/2011/04/21/session-buzz-whos-recording-in-around-nyc-a-monthly-report-2/ this] and [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2011/03/freshly-squeezed-introducinggail-scott/ this] for Gail Scott. I also found [http://www.supastarmag.com/emerging-artist-chantel-releases-album-back-in-the-day-free-download/ this] to confirm his work with Chantel. It seems he only worked with Usher for one album in 2008 but there isn't much in-depth coverage about this aside from brief mentions ("he has worked with stars such as Usher..."). I searched with some of the artists he worked with in the beginning but found nothing substantial. In addition to the thatgrapejuice.net interview, I found other entries from that website that briefly mention him [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2010/12/album-review-ciara-basic-instinct/ here], [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2010/12/song-ciara-gimme-dat-urban-bass-remix/ here], [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2011/10/hot-shot-ciara-returns-studio/ here] and [http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/12/heard-janet-jackson-jazmine-sullivan-ciara-rita-ora-craig-david/ here] (all for Ciara). He is starting to receive more attention but I think he isn't notable yet and, as mentioned, he is really best known for Ciara at this time despite briefly working with Justin Bieber (which he did not receive in-depth coverage from).

  • Strong Keep - Even though notability is not inherit, Soundz has a comprehensive work with several major and minor musical artists, the article is unsourced, but if you search for example, there are not only mentions [http://www.rnbmusicblog.com/beyonce-pays-for-songwriting-credits-soundz/18753/ 1] [http://brownsista.com/beyonce-gets-an-apology/ 2][http://thatgoodhit.com/2011/11/15/ciara-lines-up-hit-boy-soundz-for-her-new-single-hit-boy/ 3], but his collaboration with a multitude of artists is which makes him notable.

::Comment - Soundz also was involved into a controversy in which he claimed singer Beyonce pays for musical credits. [http://www.theprophetblog.net/another-producer-calls-out-beyonce-for-fake-writing-credits/ (a)]
