Money Management Group, founded by music producer and industry veteran Michael “Sha Money XL” Clervoix, is returning to Phoenix, Arizona May 9th – 10th to host the 3rd Annual One Stop Shop Producer’s Conference at The Hyatt Hotel.
The One Stop Shop Producer’s Conference, which has become an industry staple in the hip-hop community, attracting hundreds of attendees from around the globe, offers up-and-coming producers a forum to learn the ins-and-outs of music production from many notable figures in the business.
“This year I took requests from my site to see just who the public wanted present at the 2009 One Stop Shop,” explained Sha Money XL. “The most feedback received from the people, is that they want more chances to play their music, they want one-on-one attention, and we plan to do that this year, it’s going to be more interactive, more surprise battles, and spotlights.”
Attendees get the opportunity to experience informative panels that feature the music industry’s top producers; a two-day beat battle competition, where the winner receives surprise gifts and possible music placements; networking opportunities; as well as hands-on opportunities to experiment with the latest music production technology during the One Stop Shop break out sessions.
In previous years, the event’s panelists have included: DJ Premier, Swizz Beats, No ID, DJ Toomp, Mr. Porter, and Don Cannon. This year, producers expected to participate in the conference include: Polow Da Don, Pete Rock, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin, Drumma Boy, Ron Browz, DJ Khalil, as well as some possible later additions.
Besides the producer panel, the One Stop Shop Producer’s Conference organizes a Technology Workshop and an A&R Panel. Adding something new to this year’s list of panels will be the Power Play Panel, featuring Chris Lighty (Violator), Bryan Leach (Polo Grounds Music) and Chaka Zulu (Disturbing Tha Peace).
In addition, the conference is also introducing the Visual Image Panel, which emphasizes the issues and concepts of art in production. Noted video directors Rik Cordero, Chris Robinson, and Lil X are scheduled panelists.
Sha Money XL is the former President of G-Unit Records, and co-executive producer of 50 Cents’ multi-platinum selling records Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and The Massacre. His company, Money Management Group, has provided management services for a wide roster of artists and producers that have included: 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck, Hi-Tek, Jake One, and Dangerous LLC.
