Raphael Saadiq has signed with Forward Artist Management founder Tyler Childs. The Grammy-winning producer and member of Tony! Toni! Toné! co-wrote and produced both of Beyoncé’s latest singles, “Texas Hold 'Em" and “16 Carriages." His résumé also includes co-writing and production work for Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, USHER, Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige and Solange.
"Raphael is one of one," said Childs. "He's been making history, creating some of the biggest musical moments of the last 30 years. He continues to write and rewrite the playbook on what an elite artist, producer, songwriter and creative is."
Childs, who previously served as VP of A&R/creative at Sony ATV Music Publishing, also manages RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan. The legendary Staten Island collective launched the first hip-hop residency in Las Vegas earlier this month. Two more dates at the Theater at Virgin Hotels are scheduled for 3/22-23.
