THE ART TEACHER, Founding Producer / Artist
Born in Akron, Ohio, Fitzroy Reid was the 4th child born to a large family with a strong musical background. It is inevitable that Fitzroy aka “The Art Teacher” would have a natural affinity toward music. His first musical experiences developed from substantial doses of jazz influences provided by his music-loving mother who played piano in the local mega church.
He has since encompassed his very own production company under the umbrella of THE ART STARS. This has allowed him to work as a producer, musician, mix engineer, writer and vocal arranger putting all of his talents to work.
Starting out in 2005, Mr. Reid produced a track for Yummy Bingham entitled “Queens. He then relocated to Atlanta in 2006 and began working with the group, ATL, that was signed to Sony/Noontime. The studio was called “Studio 43” and there he engineered and produced. He eventually landed a song placement with the record "Throwback” on their album, The ATL Project.
In 2007, he landed his first official placement on the Hi-Technology 3 album for the artist BabyGrande and his second for Hi-Tek entitled "Kill You”. Push Montana was on the album as well.
In 2008, Dr. Dre requested to work Fitzroy on additional music production and vocal arrangement for Detox. He has since worked with Dr. Dre on many other projects.
Fitzroy soon began working with an artist named Gage who was signed to Aftermath / Interscope. There he produced/tracked/mixed on SSL Board at Doppler Studios in Atlanta for 2 years.
Working as a producer and engineering at that time, he produced also and mixed for DMX and CL Smooth, which assisted Fitzroy in developing a new sound.
In 2009, he landed another placement with Angie Stone entitled “Tell Me” (on the Unexpected album) which featured Young Dose. Young Dose is an artist that Fitzroy facilitated signing to Def Jam/BigPla Entertainment.
