C-Note's Bio[br]
C-Note: Aka: Christopher G. Williams was raised in New York City, in Spanish Harlem. As a child I loved music. At the age of five, my father purchased a drum set for me and then learned to play the six string lead guitar. I attended Elementary School P.S 72. At the age of nine I joined the P.S 72 Performing Arts Club and studied under my music teacher, Raymond Dunmore, and dance teacher Susan Lopez. With the Performing Arts Club I traveled state to state performing and playing four different instruments, (trombone, drums, bass guitar and trumpet.) At the age of eleven I start reading music.[br]

When I graduated from PS/JHS 72, I attended Murry Bergtrum HS with The Jungle brothers, Shaheed from Tribe Called Quest and Lucy Pearl, my boy Jason and Q-tip from Tribe Called Quest. My major was computers and music. I completed my four years there and graduated. At the age of 19, I started recording, writing songs, and producing. I was writing tracks for artists that were trying to succeed in the music biz just like me.[br]

As time progressed, I met a friend and brother, Strings and keys, Aka: Cecil Sanchez. This took place in 1993 at Poker Face Studios that was run by the one and only Sharae Wright and Charlie Erving, (The ladies of my life when it came down to music.) Cecil and I have been producing music together ever since. Music is our life. We write, breathe and play music. Down the line, I met a friend in the music biz, Floyd, good man and on point when it came down to biz. He introduced me to Pure Entertainment’s CEO, Joe Safina. I’ve worked with Joe since 2005. I would like to thank you for everything you’ve done for me and Strings and Keys. Pure Entertainment’s first artist was Na’sha. Strings and keys and C-note produced a track on Nasha’s album Track #15 Title: “More Than a Million.”[br]

Here we are now on Loud.com working with Joe Safina’s Pure Games and SRC’s CEO, Steve Rifkind. My plan is to continue producing, writing tracks for artists in the music industry and soon Strings and keys and I will start our own record label.[br]

Strings and Keys Bio[br]
Cecil Sanchez aka “Strings and Keys” was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised by two loving parents who migrated from Honduras, Central America. As the youngest of the four children, he was always surrounded by music. His father bought his family a piano, his brother a guitar, harmonica, and a ukulele. His brother never wanted him to touch his guitar. Strings and Key’s first studio was the emulator sampling keyboard, the MPC 3000, and the Roland JV-1080 synthesizer.[br]

In High School, he met and jammed with Noel Goring
(who wrote and produced “How Many Ways” for Toni Braxton) and Dinky Bingham (who produced “Hit Me Off” for New Edition.) He shared the stage with Arthur White (Alicia Key’s long time guitar player.) His love for music grew stronger as he developed his production skills. With the help of a friend and years of grinding, Mary J Blige insisted on using one of his tracks which became “Let Me Be The One” Track #7 on Blige’s platinum album “Love And Life”. He produced three cuts on Freddie Jackson album entitled “Reflections”, track #2 on CCCME “God “Conscious”. Strings says “We are ready to bless the world with good music and those hot tracks that’s needed.” I am partners with C-Note and we are unstoppable!
