Richie Branson
Sometimes the best way to get the job done is to do it yourself. Those words inspired music producer Richie Branson (born Marcus Brown) to come into his own and make the decision to take his music career to the next level. Hailing from San Antonio, Texas; the 25 year old artist & producer took his first initial step into the music industry in 2009. Branson joined forces with music producer Jeremy "J.Forbes" Brown to start the production company Red Prodigy. Within months, Red Prodigy's signature sound was co-signed by top executives in the music industry. Def Jam's President, L.A. Reid, personally offered a record deal to one of Red Prodigy's signees, Demarcus "Bone" Hamilton.
