By: Lawrence Burwell

Anthony Ryan Leslie born September 25, 1978, in Washington, D.C.is a Grammy nominated American mult-talented record producer. Not only is he a producer but Leslie also does the work of an entrepreneur, singer and possesses the ability to play multiple instruments. Five of his greatest projects that you may have not known he produced are: "Everything, Everyday, Everywhere", " You Be Killin Em", " Me & You", "The Answer", and "Good Lovin’". Like most aspiring music artists and composers, Leslie started off as a self-taught instrumentalist making his own beats and recording his own music because he could not afford studio time to record a demo. The road was not easy, and it took a lot of hard work and effort, but in a couple of years after graduating from college, Leslie had generated enough buzz to score a record deal with Motown. Ryan Leslie's music continues to become a paramount of importance to the music industry, as his hard work is paid off through dedication to his craft.
