Los Angeles, CA. (Top40 Charts/ North Hudson Music) - After topping the UK charts for four weeks in 2008 at No 1, "American Boy," recorded by newcomer Estelle and buoyed by a guest appearance from Kanye West, became one of this summer's signature songs Stateside.

Writer/producer Keith Harris, an accomplished keyboardist, drummer and multi-instrumentalist who performs with the Black Eyed Peas and Fergie, has worked with a range of artists from Michael Jackson (two remixes on Thriller 25), to Chris Brown (a co-write and keyboards on the track "Picture Perfect,") plus newcomer Chrisette Michele, Mary J Blige and Busta Rhymes.
