A valedictorian and contributing author to nationally published Bernard Percy books during elementary school, L.A. finished high school in Brooklyn, then went off to college in Los Angeles and graduated from Georgia State University in Atlanta before the writing bug really hit. An internship led to a 10 year marketing job with CBS Records/Sony Music, where L.A. worked with almost every act on the record label, implemented dozens of sales/marketing campaigns, received numerous gold/platinum albums, awards, and traveled throughout the U.S., Canada and Jamaica attending industry events.
Becoming a recording studio owner, audiovisual technician and manager for a global audiovisual company (TAVS), L.A. now owns media company MKM Multimedia Works and in 2001, executive-produced the Million Mom March’s Atlanta Artists Against Gun Violence compilation CD, which featured top Atlanta-based recording acts. In 2002, L.A. secured an international commercial with The GAP for Grammy-winning Arrested Development’s Baba Oje. Additional projects and music-related books are currently underway, as L.A. initiates his ‘6 books in 5 years’ plan, starting with MUSICOLOGY 2101: A QUICK START GUIDE TO MUSIC ‘BIZ’ HISTORY

With a clear vision of where he wants to go, L.A. is at his best working with successful people towards a unified goal.
