ABOUT MUSIC PRODUCER ROY HAMILTON III

Some of the most dynamic change in the world is sparked by the simplest of ideas. At just 29-years-old, Roy “Royalty" Hamilton III is already an industry vet with over a decade of musical hits, power moves and executive decisions under his belt. As a producer, songwriter, composer, performer, director and consummate business man, Hamilton is ready to unleash his own brand of empowerment through music.

From childhood, New York-born, New Jersey-raised Roy Hamilton III possessed inspiration and innate ambition that grew into a multitude of ideas for the future. Taking inspiration from his Jamaican heritage and upbringing immersed in American Pop culture, Hamilton made his own lane. His vision evolved into an obsession to make a difference with the next generation of music hopefuls in his region, and ultimately the world at large.

“I feel like my life itself gave me an advantage since birth," explains Roy. “My grandfather, Roy Hamilton, was a renowned star in his day. Growing up, my parents kept me around music, and my father's Godfather is BB King. When I turned 16, I started performing locally in the Atlantic City area, then I met R.Kelly at 17. So it's just like my steps have been in order, kind of a divine order, and I can't even say how."

Prior to his days in the office, Roy's production included work on albums for the likes of N'Sync, Britney Spears, Nas, Michael Jackson,Samantha Mumba and Keith Sweat. He produced the #1 hits “Stutter" for Joe (Pop) and “Liar" for Profyle (R&B), as well as Top 20 hits “Friend of Mine (Rmx)" for Kelly Price and “Wanna Do You Right" for K-Ci and JoJo. During his tenure at Capitol Records, Roy helped to develop projects for LeToya Luckett, Chingy, MIMS, J. Holiday and more. Additionally, he served as the Musical Director on two tours for The Cheetah Girls ('06-'07).

“As a part of my mission statement, I believe it's time for things to be illuminated. I think music is in a dark place, with people compromising anything for a dollar. I've always been blessed enough not to have to do that, and it's been tough for me to figure out how to stay relevant and still keep my morals intact. I don't believe in doing stuff just to be doing it, so people should know what they're going to be hearing from me. I don't curse in my music, and future productions will all be consistent with this same mission statement. “The Invisible Man" is my testimony."
