[edit] Biography

Rockwilder began his debut production on the 1994 Organized Konfusion album Stress: The Extinction Agenda .He went on to craft records by other artists, including Jay-Z's "Do It Again (Put Ya Hands Up)" (1999), Busta Rhymes and Erykah Badu's "One" (1998), Xzibit's Front 2 Back (2000), and De La Soul's "I.C. Y'All" (2000). He also went on to work with Janet Jackson (several album tracks on All for You) and Destiny's Child (the Rockwilder Remix of "Bootylicious" as well as "If" and "Free" from Destiny Fulfilled), and was the co-producer, with Missy Elliott, of the 2001 Christina Aguilera/Lil' Kim/Mýa/Pink cover of Labelle's 1974 "Lady Marmalade" for the film Moulin Rouge! for which he received a Grammy Award. He also produced the song "Dirrty" for Aguilera featuring Redman using the original beat he produced for Redman's song "Let's Get Dirty (I Can't Get in da Club)". In the '00s, Rockwilder produced several tracks on Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes' Supernova (2001). The songs include "Hot" and "Rags 2 Riches". Later in 2003, he made the collaboration between couple Kelis and Nas, "In Public", being released from Kelis' Tasty.

After a string of pop-chart hits, Rockwilder has slowed down and in recent years has been giving his beats almost exclusively to longtime friends and collaborators Redman and Method Man.

Rockwilder has founded his own record/production company (Muzic Park Entertainment), who is launching its first act, Motown recording singer/songwriter Yummy Bingham (a signed artist and owning/producing partner in Muzic Park). In early 2006, Rockwilder went into the studio with R&B singer Brandy to record songs for her fifth studio release. For Beanie Sigel's 2007 album, The Solution, Rockwilder produced the track "Shake It For Me".
