Cover Artist: EVAN BOGART
Whether in rock, pop or R&B, there isn’t a hotter young producer-writer out there now. He’s got a Top 10 Billboard hit he wrote called, "Tonight, Tonight" by pop/rock band Hot Chelle Rae. His other hit, "Dirty Dancer" by Enrique Iglesias has peaked at #18, on the Hot 100 and is still rising up the chart. Coming up, he has Jason Durulo's next single, "It Girl," Big Time Rush's next single, "If I Ruled The World," and the first single from Hollywood Records band All Star Weekend called "Down With Me." All are set for release within the next month. Ironically, “Tonight, Tonight” was written on the set of Bogart's new hit Bravo TV show, Platinum Hit. MC presents an exclusive Q&A with this multi-talented maestro.

Feature: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SMALL STUDIO FOR YOUR PROJECT
