Hit-A-Lik Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Charles "Charlie" Buko confirmed that C. Weinbren (pictured above) has inked an exclusive (and lucrative) production contract with "The 'Lik."
Weinbren (22) a Piano prodigy turned Electro/Synth-Pop producer has impressive credentials to say the least.
His genius recognized at a young age; Weinbren was enrolled in New York City's elite Professional Children's School where his classmates included Mischa Barton, Scarlett Johansson and Pong Pong Gong.
At 15 Weinbren composed a classical piece inspired by 9/11 that was featured for review in The New York Times.
By 18 he received a full scholarship to SUNY Purchase (White Plains NY). Though quickly recognized as the "crown jewel" of the University's prestigious Jazz Conservatory he exited the program after his sophomore year.
Weinbren's versatility overwhelming him he switched majors to Studio Composition. Under the tutelage of Conservatory Director Jim Mcelwain (teacher of Regina Spektor and Moby) Weinbren began composing hip-hop, jazz, reggae, alternative, classical, and pop.
Playing with Charlie Phillips (myspace.com/charliephillipsonline), Under The Rasta Influence (myspace.com/undertherastainfluence) and Jennifer Donnelly (myspace.com/jenniferdonnellymusic) as well as studying with Grammy Award winner Arturo O'Farrill and great Jazz pianist Charles Blenzig Weinbren became well known as an incredible talent. Though he'd yet to find a project he truly believed could top the charts. Until...
Weinbren is quoted:
"The combination of Trap Like Me (The Mixtape) and The Charles Buko EP inspired me. I realized that if I molded universal instrumentals for Charlie he could have worldwide commercial viability. I became fascinated with bridging worlds of hip-hop and electro. I approached Charlie with a Space Cowboy remix for 'Talking In Your Sleep' and he completely nailed it. The response to the record was universally positive and I realized this could be a full album."
Details regarding the deal between Weinbren and "The 'Lik" are scarce at best. It has been confirmed that Weinbren is under exclusive contract and is also being actively managed by Buko. Further verified are reports that the two are in the process of creating a joint house album described as "electro-synth-rap."
The project is rumored to be titled "Sexual Mania."
