    RAASHAN AHMAD New album CEREMONY BIOGRAPHY : Raashan Ahmad was born in Trenton New Jersey, a small industiral town south of New York city. His earliest memories are of his dad programming and playing mix tapes his friend from New Jersey would send, as well as his records, and acting like a radio announcer. Marvin Gaye, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Miles, Anita Baker and lots of good jazz, funk, and soul. This would set the foundation and the standard for his own musical taste (and record collection) to flourish. Skip forward for two decades: In 2004 Raashan founded the Crown City Rockers who left their mark on the west coast scene as well as touring in Europe. In 2008 and 2010 Raashan Ahmad released his first two solo albums featuring artists such as Aloe Blacc setting the groundwork for continious touring all over the globe during the last two years. While being on the road Raashan Ahmad ended up meeting producers in France, Poland & Australia Inspired by these talented musicians Raashan Ahmad created a versatile HipHop sound reminiscing to the Golden Era as much as the new Beatmaker generation of our decade with a portion of live music in it. Proving his exceptional MC skills on this record he was able to create a soundtrack to his countless journeys all around the globe. The album features productions by 20Syl of C2C, Ta-ku & Mr. President. Among the guests on the microphone is Stones Throw signee Homeboy Sandman, Geoffrey Oryema and Ty.

When Arnold was in elementary school, the family moved to Phoenix, Arizona, for his mother's health.

In 1970, Arnold became one of the first African Americans to be hired as an attorney by a major record label when he joined Capital Records. Four years later, he was promoted to vice president of Capitol Records, creating and heading the company's Black Music Division. In 1975, Arnold signed Natalie Cole to Capitol Records and, in 1977, he served as the executive producer for Caldera’s record "Sky Island." That same year, he signed Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, the former backup band for Marvin Gaye. In 1978, Arnold left Capitol Records for Arista Records. As senior vice president, Arnold ran the West Coast office and was in charge of bringing in new artists and products. Arnold held this position until he was hired in 1980 by CBS/SONY Music as senior vice president.

    Frankie Beverly & Maze Tribute Album In The Works Page 1 of 2 Powered by Frankie Beverly & Maze Tribute Album In The Works April 07, 2009 01:02 PM ET Gail Mitchell, L.A. Gospel star Donald Lawrence and Grammy-nominated producer Rex Rideout are among the first collaborators to sign up for an all-star tribute album honoring legendary R&B group Maze, Billboard has learned exclusively. "I Wanna Thank You...An All-Star Tribute to Maze featuring Frankie Beverly" is being produced through Brantera Music Group Inc., headed by Beverly's son Anthony. In addition to Lawrence, who is contributing a full-blown gospel version of Maze's 1984 track, "I Wanna Thank You," Anthony is currently negotiating with several other veteran and new artists from the R&B, gospel and jazz arenas. Rideout is serving as co-producer of the project, whose selections will include a cross section of memorable Maze tunes, among them: the No. 1 R&B hits "Back in Stride" and "Can't Get Over You," "Silky Soul," "Before I Let Go" and "Golden Time of Day." Getting its big break in the early '70s as the backing band and opening act on a Marvin Gaye tour, Maze signed with Capitol and later segued to Warner Bros.. The group's first major R&B chart credit was 1977's "While I'm Alone" which peaked at No. 21. "After 30 hit singles and 12 albums, I thought it was time to get this done," says Anthony, who doubles as the project's executive producer. "The group's longevity boils down to one word: real.
