So I slipped on the local spotlight section last week...and I apologize...so I'm doing it first thing this week. In this section I'm shedding light on some more home grown producers. Now I mentioned these cats in reference to tracks for Miguel & Ne-Yo and they made some bangers for these young gents. I had a chance to catch up with Brian of the production team and he shed some light on the crew. Thanks again B. So in a mix of his words and mine...here is who Fisticuffs is:
2 members of the 2006 USA regional Bull Fighting Champion Team, haha...nah not really but that was the introduction I was given. Actually they are Brian Warfield and Mac Robinson who not only produce but also write music. The two met in their high school jazz band at LA County High School for the Arts and have built that bond into their own studio where they continuously create tracks together. Both born and raised in LA, they were influenced from a range of musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Parliament, J Dilla, Raphael Saadiq, 2 Pac, Curtis Mayfield, Bjork, NWA, DJ Quik, James Brown and many more. They have performed shows and played on records for the likes of Diddy, Snoop, Akon, Robin Thicke, Nelly, 2 Pac and more. They have produced and worked on projects for Ne-Yo, Teedra Moses, The D.E.Y., Trevor Horn, Jhene Aiko and most recently "One Night Stand" for Jazmine Sullivan. Out of all the people they've worked with, they say their boy MIGUEL is "truly one of THE most talented individuals" they've worked with. They happen to be planning a release for an all original 8 song mixtape with Miguel very soon as an appetizer for Miguel's Jive Records release in Spring '09.
In the future Fisticuffs plans on being successful and living comfortably off of their music as well as placing a stamp in music history. With their hard work ethic, they should make that mark. They plan on having 2 Fisticuffs produced singles in the streets soon, so stay tuned. To keep up with Fisticuffs, add them as a friend on MySpace: www.myspace.com/fisticuffsmusicpage
