"In addition to knowing his way around a music studio, Howie Tee is also well-known and respected in the music industry, so we are understandably excited about him being a key part of our team," added Firoz.

Howie Tee knows the ins and outs of the music business and even though he has worked with such renowned artists such as The Real Roxanne, Paula Abdul, Color Me Badd and Madonna, he is looking forward to new challenges with Epic Music. "I've got a long way to go," said an enthusiastic Howie Tee.

Thompson was recognized as one of the hottest DJ's in the borough's huge music scene, earning him the nickname of Howie Tee. From his start in Brooklyn nightclubs Howie jumped further into the music business and in particular in working with hip-hop and rap artists. His creative input helped to propel many artists into stardom, with the likes of The Real Roxanne, Father MC, Chubb Rock, Heavy D and many other artists selling millions of records in part because of "Hitman" Howie Tee.

His success would follow into other genres as evidenced by his contributions on Color Me Badd's six times platinum debut album. Epic Music LA knows that Howie Tee was the right choice for the position of creative director and is hoping that the "Hitman" will work his magic for them.

"You might not expect to find this kind of talent in an affordable library and you'd probably be right. But not when it comes to the Epic Music library, and there's a very good reason for that," he added. "Proceeds from every sale go to benefit the Ponheary Ly Foundation".
