Roger and Teddy and himself all in one…he's the only cat I will ever call on talk box " - Terrace Martin.

Martin (Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar) and Clinton Sparks (Big Sean, T-Pain) to name a notable few. " He is the reincarnation of the legend
Roger Troutman. "I'm excited to work together on the many projects I am working on from YG to Trey Songs. I feel that the sound he provides is bringing back a fresh needed sound"- Clinton Sparks
What does this insanely talented musician and artist have his sights set on? "World domination (laughs)….you know I just want to be remembered as a great musician, performer, producer and a great writer. I want to develop my own unique sound that people will remember continue to enjoy and of course that I be successful enough to do this for the rest of my life".
