Rico Love – Songwriter/Producer

For years, Rico Love has been making waves within the entertainment industry as a songwriter and producer. Originally to Usher’s “US Records” as a rapper, Rico quickly became the go-to guy for hitmakers like Beyonce, Nelly, Dirty Money, Natasha Bedingfield, Keri Hilson, Jamie Foxx and, of course, Usher himself.

But last year, following the 2010 success of Usher’s “Hey Daddy” and “There Goes My Baby,” Rico handed Kelly Rowland the biggest U.S. hit of her post-Destiny’s Child career and his stock jumped by leaps and bound. He also officially launched his own imprint, Division 1, signing Young Chris (yes, the Roc-A-Fella’s Young Gunz) and Teairra Mari.

In case there was any doubt that this guy was making moves, here is footage for his birthday party in December 2011.
