Meet the Summer Intensive Program Producers!

The producers - the folks in charge of making all our beats - have been keeping a low profile, slaving away at the computers in the Urban Arts studio all summer to make the ProFresh jams we love!

So it's time they're exposed! Here's our hitmakers:
Andy Juma - Andy's been in the studio crankin' out his signature sound: southern-style 808 drums with smooth basslines and chill synths. Check the CD for his killer track, "Magic", a slowjam sung by Usman aka Blitz and Jason Julien, with a feature from our own Lil Miss!










Esau Moncada - A talented multi-instrumentalist, the mexican-born producer, Esau, does it all. His skills range from producing Electronic and down-tempo instrumentals to composing commercial jingles and everything in between. Having never had the chance to work on a hip hop project before this summer, Esau was hyped to collaborate with the ProFresh vocalists to see what kind of sound they could come up with. When the album drops, check out tracks "Bus Candy" and "Party Poppers", Esau's hot beats!


Kristi Sallaku - Kristi's been crankin out hot beats from the Urban Arts studio all summer.
From smooth piano ballads to Poppy dance tracks, Kristi's collab's with the ProFresh vocalist crew are hot fire. Legend has it, he can also sing opera...maybe he'll bust it out at the ProFresh release party??

Check his tracks "Since You Left" and "Sweet & Sour" on the album.



So those are our resident beat makers for the summer, folks!
Meet them all at the ProFresh CD Release party, on October 9, 2008 @ Suba Lounge, College st. West.

Peace,
T
