We recently found out via Vicci Martinez’s tweet that she is working with Rock Mafia and Desmond Child. With names like these we know her song will be a smash hit and we can not wait to hear it! We have decided to do a little research on them and let you know a little bit about what they have done.
Rock Mafia is a record production/songwriting team, consisting of Tim James, Antonina Armato and A&R/mixing Paul Palmer who are credited for writing and producing for number of pop and rock artists beginning in the early 2000s namely Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, The Beach Girl5, Sick Puppies and other singers. They are based out of Santa Monica, CA. As as group they have sold over 1 million albums worldwide!
They were hand picked by American Idol’s Jimmy Iovine to help coach a number of season 10 performers. Singers such as Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart, and Lauren Alaina to name a few.
They have also worked with Selena Gomez & the Scene, Demi Lovato, Miranda Cosgrove, Vanessa Hudgens, and Patrice Rushen.
Desmond Child producer/songwriter hails out of FL but now calls Nashville, TN is home. He has regined as one of music’s most succesful forces for over 3 decades! His songs have sold for more than 300 million worldwide. His collaborations include Bon Jovi, Bonnie Tyler, Selena, Aerosmith, Ricky Martin, KISS, Kelly Clarkson, Dream Theater, Cher, Rosie Johnson and Alice Cooper.
Desmond’s biggest claim is writing and co-writing for Kiss and his long time now friend Bon Jovi. He helped co-write Livin’ on a Prayer, You Give Love a Bad Name, and Bad Medicine. In the late 90’s Desmond hooked up with Ricky Martin to write the smash hit Livin’ La Vida Loca.
