Sound & Music Production:SLANG MUSICGROUP FAMILY TO ENTER “HOUSE OF DIDDY”

SINGER MORGAN MALLORY AND PRODUCER RICK ROBINSON JOIN THE CAST OF "MAKING HIS BAND"


CHICAGO – Entertainment mogul Sean “P. Diddy” Combs is at it again with another reality television series called “Making His Band,” which is currently in production. Auditions were recently held in New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Los Angeles to select contestants for the upcoming installment of Diddy’s established “Making the Band” program on MTV networks. This season, however, is slightly different than its predecessors and is more intimately attached to Combs himself. While seasons past revolved around creating a superstar band under his Bad Boy Entertainment record label, the upcoming season focuses on potential candidates vying to back Diddy himself, in Comb’s live touring band.

Amongst thousands of entrants auditioning for the chance to be on the new reality show was singer Morgan Mallory, a young artist produced by Slang MusicGroup. Morgan Mallory is a 21 year old native of Chicago, who is currently attending the world-renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, pursuing a degree in Music Business. Morgan, a rising Hip Hop/ R&B vocalist and songwriter is currently a member of the following ensembles at Berklee: The Neo-Soul Ensemble, The Latin Jazz, Rock, Funk, and R&B Ensemble; The Gospel Ensemble; and The A-Capella Ensemble.

Producer-songwriter-keyboardist Rick Robinson has been working with Slang MusicGroup for years, and has won many awards during his tenure. A Chicago native, Rick has helped progress and develop new trends within the music industry over the last decade and is most noted for his work in soul/gospel music. As a songwriter, Rick has written for many artists which include- Bishop T.D Jakes, Syleena Johnson, Bishop Larry Trotter, Byron Cage, Beverly Crawford, Bishop Eddie L. Long, Marvin Sapp, and New Direction among many others.

Several other independent recording artists at Slang MusicGroup are moving up to the front lines of today’s contemporary music. Rapper/pop artist JQ, singer/songwriter Jana G., R&B hip-hopster Nikki Lynette, and funky house DJ Max Toymaster have been pushing the Chicago underground scene to new heights with help from Slang MusicGroup.
