Songwriter/artist/producer Stephen “Static Major” Garrett died unexpectedly on Monday in his hometown of Louisville, Ky. No official reports about his death are known, but many people are leaving their condolences on his myspace page. This is a major loss for the music industry.
Many of you may not know Static by face, but you definitely know his music. He was signed to the Blackground record label where he found his first breakthrough working with R&B singer Ginuwine. The single “Pony” became a major hit and a milestone in the careers of both Static and Timbaland. He then went on to produce Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody?” featured on the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack. Not to mention he produced many tracks for Aaliyah’s self-titled final album. Many of you may also remember him as part of the R&B trio, Playa, who were signed to the Def Jam record label. In recent months he was working on his new album, SUPPERTIME, which was slated to drop this year.
E3 would like to give our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Stephen Garrett. He will truly be missed, but will never be forgotten.
