Many famous DJs, singers and television hosts have made great statements and comments throughout the years in reference to Starr’s work.
I had a chance to work with Starr in the studio and my experiences with the artist not only showed me that his talent is worthy of the praise heaped on him. He is very professional and humble in my opinion. I wouldn’t be surprised if Starr’s dedication and work ethic combined to create music that will live on as solid examples of excellence in the history of urban music.
