Birdman Records is an independent record label based in South San Francisco, founded by former Warner Bros. Records A&R; vice-president David Katznelson.

History

Birdman Records is the flagship label of the Birdman Recording Group, which includes other labels such as Sepia Tone Records, Tornado Records and Tariff Records. The label was founded in 2000, following the departure of David Katznelson from Warner Bros. Records.

In addition to its focus on particular artists, the label produced ''More Oar: A Tribute to the Skip Spence Album'', a 1999 tribute album to the late Skip Spence, featuring contributions from Robert Plant, Beck and Tom Waits, among others, with the objective at the time of funding Spence's medical care. Spence died shortly before the release of the record, but is reported to have heard some or all of it prior to his death. Katznelson was the executive producer of the album.

David Darnell Brown (born March 15, 1981), also known as Young Buck, is an American Southern rapper. Buck is a former member of the New York City-based hip hop group G-Unit.

Biography

Early life

Around the age of twelve, Brown began rapping because he was inspired by a Miami friend named McClea, jealous of McClea's talent, he wanted to beat him no matter what he had to give up, at the same time McClea moved to Tallahassee,Fl Brown began recording in a real studio. Shortly thereafter, he was given an opportunity to perform to Brian "Baby" Williams, co-founder of Cash Money Records. After several years on and off of Cash Money Records, Brown and fellow rapper Juvenile decided to leave the label for good in 2000 and went to UTP Records, where he stayed until 2003. His deal with UTP later led to a meeting with New York rapper 50 Cent who later signed Buck to G-Unit Records, under Interscope Records.

G-Unit

50 Cent gave Young Buck a feature on his commercially successful debut album ''Get Rich or Die Tryin''' on the track "Blood Hound". After this, he appeared on G-Unit's debut album, ''Beg for Mercy'', which certified 2x Platinum. Young Buck then released his debut album, ''Straight Outta Cashville'', in 2004, with its follow-up, ''Buck the World'' being released in 2007.

On April 7, 2008 in an interview with Miss Jones on New York's Hot 97, 50 Cent stated that Young Buck was no longer a member of the group G-Unit but was still signed to G-Unit Records.

Solo career

After Young Buck was dismissed from the group, He released numerous tracks attacking not only the group, but their associates and, more specifically, group leader 50 Cent. 50 Cent and G-Unit also responded with many tracks, including one particular instance in which 50 Cent released a phone call he had recorded with Young Buck, which featured the Tennessee native weeping and apologizing for numerous things. After this happened, Young Buck responded, stating that the call was a fake, that happened one year prior to its release, and claimed that only police record phone calls.

After a lengthy battle between Young Buck and his former G-Unit comrades, the feud seemed to settle down, with Young Buck stating that he owed one more album for G-Unit Records which would be released in 2009, then titled ''The Rehab''. In other interviews, he's stated that he does not have a problem with 50 Cent or G-Unit anymore, but is currently doing his "own thing". He also stated that although he's still signed to G-Unit Records, he's trying to get out of the contract, and he's no longer signed to Interscope.

On September 13, 2010 an interview with Shade 45 radio host Angela Yee, 50 Cent stated that Young Buck is still signed to G-Unit Records.

Financial problems

Brown filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection in August 2010, shortly after an IRS raid on his home. His bankruptcy lawyer later told The City Paper that he was planning to sue Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) and other parties over the record contract dispute.

The IRS made plans to auction off Young Buck's seized property on October 28, 2010, but his legal counsel filed suit to halt the sale, while simultaneously re-filing a revised bankruptcy petition that no longer referenced a $5 million legal claim against 50 Cent and other parties associated with G Unit.

In the lawsuit, viewable at this link, Young Buck said the studio equipment taken in the raid was "directly tied to" his "ability to generate income in order to reorganize the estate." He stated that the seizure of property that belonged to his children had "created great stress in the home" and "within the common law marriage of the debtor plaintiff." He told the court he needed to get back the property belonging to the family.

Young Buck's attorney was able to convince the court that he would be selling real estate worth $638,500 to begin paying the back taxes due. At a hearing on October 26, 2010, plans for the IRS auction were at least temporarily stopped. Young Buck announced the outcome with a Tweet:

Cashville Records

In 2006, Young Buck began preparation on creating a record label named "G-Unit South". However, Interscope was not to be the distributing label, so he could not use the "G-Unit" name, which is when he decided upon using the name "Cashville".

After numerous artists were signed, including Outlawz and C-Bo, a deal was secured with RED Distribution. In 2008, after he was dismissed from the G-Unit group, Young Buck began putting more effort into his label stating that even without a major label deal, he will still be relevant in the music industry.

Albums

Debut album

After being with G-Unit for a little over a year, Young Buck released his debut album, ''Straight Outta Cashville,'' a portmanteau reflecting the name of Young Buck's home city, Nashville, Tennessee.

''Straight Outta Cashville'' has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America with over 1.1 million sales in the U.S. and 2.3 million Worldwide.

Second album

Young Buck's second album, ''Buck the World'' was released worldwide on March 27, 2007.

''Buck the World'' debuted at No. 3 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and No. 1 on the Top R&B;/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with sales of 141,083 in the first week.

Third album

''The Rehab'' was released on September 7, 2010. It was a street album, not his official 3rd studio album, released on Real Talk Ent. Buck had made an earlier claim in which he said that ''The Rehab'' will sell a million copies in his first week, but at the time, he was still signed to G-Unit/Interscope Records.

''The Rehab'' sold 6,400 in its first week.

Controversy

VIBE Awards incident

On November 15, 2004, Jimmy James Johnson approached Dr. Dre at the VIBE Awards and reportedly asked for an autograph before Dr. Dre was about to go on stage. After Dr. Dre declined, Johnson punched him in the back of the head before running towards the nearest exit. A brawl ensued with several uniformed police officers attempting to break up the fight. Chairs were thrown, and it was alleged that Young Buck stabbed Johnson in the chest with a knife. After video evidence was uncovered from the awards ceremony, the Santa Monica Police Department issued an arrest warrant for him. In a preliminary hearing, it was ruled that there was enough evidence to proceed with a jury trial. However, in December 2005, a deal was reportedly struck that would see Young Buck avoid trial.

The Game

After The Game was kicked out of G-Unit for being disloyal, Young Buck as well as new West Coast G-Unit act rapper Spider Loc who had signed to G-Unit Records in September 2004, called him to task for dissing the group and label. The Game then released a track entitled "240 Bars" which insulted both Spider Loc and Young Buck. Young Buck then released a track called "The Real Bitch Boy", which featured Spider Loc and used a beat from The Game's track, "Where I'm from". In the song, Young Buck talks about how he did not even know The Game when he mentions The Game's name on "Poppin' Them Thangs". Also, Young Buck talks about The Game being a male stripper and also how 50 Cent helped The Game to be successful with his album ''The Documentary''.

The feud has continued to escalate, with there being an exchange of many tracks. In February 2007, The Game and Young Buck got into a non-physical altercation at a club, during the NBA All-Star Weekend in Las Vegas. The last time that they were seen together was when The Game was part of G-Unit.

After being dismissed from G-Unit, Young Buck appeared on a remix to The Game's song Game's Pain, as well as appearing in the music video to the song My Life, which featured another former rival, Lil Wayne. A mixtape by The Game and Young Buck was also confirmed, though as of 2009, it has not materialized.

Lil Wayne

Young Buck released a song featuring Tony Yayo called "Off Parole" which insulted Lil Wayne. Young Buck said that Lil Wayne could not be angry, because Young Buck spoke the truth. Young Buck also said "You think you got a problem with Juve and B.G.; you'll have a true problem with me", referring to the Cash Money-Juvenile/B.G feud.

One of the reasons 50 Cent stated he was dismissing Young Buck was what he called "inconsistent behavior" which included appearing on stage with Lil Wayne, then seemingly dissing him on records with G-Unit. After he was dismissed, Young Buck appeared in the music video "My Life" by The Game, which featured Lil Wayne in the vocals.

DJ Khaled

During an interview on ''Rap City'', DJ Khaled was asked to choose three classics out of a total of eight albums. He chose every album except ''Get Rich or Die Tryin'''. DJ Khaled stated: }} In response, Young Buck released a track entitled "Personal (Unity)" towards DJ Khaled and Terror Squad. In the song, Young Buck refers to many people on DJ Khaled's second album, ''We the Best''.

During a "TRL" show which 50 Cent was hosting on September 12, 2007 Young Buck repeatedly mocked DJ Khaled by repeatedly shouting "50 we the best. Listennn!" in reference to DJ Khaled’s behaviour, which he exhibited on the same show previously.

Two days later on the same show, 50 Cent was offered the choice of listening to one of his rivals say something about him in a clip from ''Rap City''. He had the choice of Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, Ja Rule, and The Game, and chose Khaled's clip, in which Khaled said he did not consider ''Get Rich or Die Tryin''' a classic.

Young Buck later addressed the issue on the mixtape ''G-Unit Radio Part 25-Sabrina's Baby Boy''. He insults DJ Khaled on multiple tracks.

50 Cent

After numerous rumors of a "beef" within G-Unit, 50 Cent officially dismissed Young Buck from the group, in 2008. He later assured that he was still signed with the label. Numerous slander songs then arose on the internet from both camps, with Young Buck appearing in a music video of former rival The Game.

50 Cent then leaked a taped phone conversation between himself and Young Buck, which showed one of the true reasons for the falling out; 50 Cent was owed money by the Southern rapper. Young Buck later stated the conversation took place over a year before the leak. The two camps have since released a multitude of songs against each other, with the feud settling down by 2009, although on Buck's album The Rehab, he disses 50 on a track titled "Hood Documentary".

Richard Christopher Wakeman (born 18 May 1949) is an English keyboard player, composer and songwriter best known for being the former keyboardist in the progressive rock band Yes. He is also known for his solo albums, contributing to the BBC comedy series ''Grumpy Old Men'' and for ''Rick's Place'', his former radio show on Planet Rock that aired until December 2010.

Wakeman was born in West London. He purchased his first electronic keyboard at 12 years of age. In 1968, he studied the piano, clarinet, orchestration and modern music at the Royal College of Music before leaving after a year in favour of session music work. He went on to feature on songs by artists including Ozzy Osbourne, David Bowie, T. Rex, Elton John and Cat Stevens. Wakeman joined the folk group Strawbs in 1969 and played on three of their albums. He first joined Yes in 1971 to replace Tony Kaye, and left the group in 1974 to work on his solo career. He returned in 1976 before leaving with lead vocalist Jon Anderson in 1980. Wakeman was part of the side project Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, a group of ex-Yes members formed in 1989, and the eight-member Yes line-up that followed until his third departure in 1992. He returned for two years in 1995 and once more in 2002, where he was part of the band's 35th anniversary tour until its end in 2004.

Wakeman began his solo career during his first run with Yes. His perhaps most known records being his first three, ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' (1973), ''Journey to the Centre of the Earth'' (1974) and ''The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table'' (1975). He has produced over 100 solo albums that have sold more than 50 million copies. In November 2010, Wakeman was awarded the Spirit of Prog award at the annual Marshall Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards.

Early life

Rick Wakeman was born on 18 May 1949 in the west London suburb of Northolt to Cyril Frank and Mildred Helen Wakeman. He attended Wood End Infants School in 1954, followed by Drayton Manor Grammar School in 1959. He started playing the piano at the age of 5 and purchased his first electronic keyboard at the age of 12. In 1968, Wakeman secured a place at the Royal College of Music, where he studied piano, clarinet, orchestration and modern music. He left a year later in favour of session music work.

Music career

Session work and the Strawbs (1969–1971)

Wakeman became an active session musician. In June 1969, he played Mellotron on David Bowie's single "Space Oddity" for a session fee of £9. He went on to play piano for Bowie's "Life on Mars?", "Changes" and "Oh! You Pretty Things" in April 1971 and "Absolute Beginners" in 1985. He also played the piano on the Cat Stevens' hit "Morning Has Broken". In 1971 he acquired an early Minimoog synthesiser, purchasing it at half price from actor Jack Wild who believed that it was defective because it only played one note at a time.

Between 1970 and 1971, Wakeman was part of the folk rock group Strawbs. His first appearance on an album sleeve was on ''Dragonfly'', the group's second studio album released in February 1970. The band held a concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 11 July 1970 where Wakeman performed a solo piano piece named "Temparament of Mind". He received a standing ovation for his performance, and the track appeared on the band's live record released that year, ''Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios''. Wakeman appeared on the front page of ''Melody Maker'' soon after, which called him "Tomorrow's Superstar", and composed the theme music to the television show ''Ask Aspel''. He remained in the Strawbs for a third album, ''From the Witchwood'', but left the group in mid-1971.

Joining Yes and start of solo career (1971–1975)

In 1971, Wakeman joined the progressive rock band Yes, replacing their organist Tony Kaye. His first concert with the group took place in Leicester on 30 September 1971. He worked on the group's fourth, fifth and sixth studio albums – ''Fragile'' (1971), ''Close to the Edge'' (1972), and ''Tales from Topographic Oceans'' (1973). Wakeman, however, felt ''Tales from Topographic Oceans'' was pretentious and – despite its ambition -insubstantial. He disliked performing the album on tour, feeling the length of the songs prevented the band from playing their more popular tracks. Following the tour, as the band began work on what would become ''Relayer'' (1974), Wakeman felt further alienated from the group. Disenchanted with the direction in which Yes was going, and already into a successful solo career, he left.

Wakeman produced his first three solo albums during his first run with Yes. On 23 January 1973, he released ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'', an instrumental concept album based on his interpretations of the musical characteristics of the wives of Henry VIII, using keyboard instruments. The album was overall well received by critics. ''TIME'' magazine named the record one of the best pop albums of 1973. In October 1975, the album was certified Gold.

On 18 January 1974, Wakeman performed ''Journey to the Centre of the Earth'', a forty-minute piece based on the Jules Verne novel of the same name, at the Royal Festival Hall in London. Combining rock with an orchestra and choir, the concert was recorded and released on 18 May, where it topped the UK album charts on entry for one week. The record became a multi-million dollar seller in six weeks. The album was certified Gold in September 1974.

In May 1975, Wakeman released ''The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table'', with the album was performed live at the Empire Pool on ice. The show was well received but expensive to produce, consuming much of the income from sales of the album. The album was also a worldwide success, reaching No.21 in the United States while going Gold (the third time a Wakeman record had achieved this) in Brazil, Japan and Australia. The album has sold 12 million copies.

In 1975, Wakeman produced the first of two soundtracks for films by Ken Russell – ''Lisztomania'' and ''Crimes of Passion'' (1984).

Rejoining Yes (1976–1980)

Wakeman returned to Yes for their 1977 album ''Going for the One''. He remained until their next album, ''Tormato'', a year later. He is reputed to have given the album its name by throwing a tomato at a showing of the art used for the album's cover.

Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe and Yes (1989–1992)

In 1989, he joined with three fellow ex-Yes members to form Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe ("ABWH"). After ABWH's first album, some of the completed tracks for a planned second album were merged with tracks from an in-progress Yes album to create the album ''Union''. Wakeman, along with the combined members of both bands then joined to form a Yes supergroup (made up of past and present members of Yes) for the subsequent tour in 1991. When the tour ended a year later, Wakeman left again.

Fourth run with Yes (1995–1997)

He then returned in 1996 for the ''Keys to Ascension'' albums but left before the band could tour.

Fifth run with Yes and Hampton Court (2002–2009)

In 2002, he rejoined Yes and stayed with the band until their 2008 In The Present Tour. For the group's 40th anniversary tour, Wakeman was replaced by his son, Oliver Wakeman.

In 2008, Wakeman toured with a solo show named ''Rick Wakeman's Grumpy Old Picture Show'', featuring an evening of music and stories.

In May 2009, Wakeman performed ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' live at Hampton Court Palace for the first time, for two nights. The performance was recorded and released as ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII Live at Hampton Court Palace''.

Instruments

Although Wakeman is a noted player of the grand piano, electric piano, Hammond organ, Minimoog and many later models of synthesiser, he is well known as an exponent (for a time) of the Mellotron – an analogue electronic musical instrument that uses a bank of pre-recorded magnetic tape strips, each of which is activated by a separate key on its keyboard and lasts approximately 8 seconds. Wakeman featured playing this instrument, to varying degrees, on the David Bowie track "Space Oddity", the Yes albums ''Fragile'', ''Close to the Edge'' and ''Tales From Topographic Oceans'', as well as the solo albums ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' and ''White Rock''. It proved too unwieldy and unreliable for regular touring, and he eventually doused the last Mellotron that he owned in petrol and set fire to it in a field. Undeterred, he worked with David Biro to develop the Birotron, which used the then popular 8-track cassette format rather than tape strips. Because of the advent of digital keyboards at that time, and also because the cassette tape format could not reproduce the attack and decay of musical notes (which the tape strips of the Mellotron could reproduce), the Birotron was never a commercial or technical success. Only 35 Birotrons were produced, and Wakeman eventually threw his across the stage after it broke down mid-concert, an action he now regrets as there are only six remaining examples.

Recent years

Wakeman's track "Arthur" has been used as the theme tune to the BBC's ''Election Night Coverage'' since 1979, with the exception of 2001 and 2010. Wakeman's album ''Fields of Green '97'' features the track "Election '97/Arthur" which was used by the BBC for their coverage of the 1997 General Election. The music was revamped for the BBC's 2005 general election night coverage.

His TV career was launched in 1982 when he hosted Gastank on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. The show featured a mix of interviews with 1970s musicians and impromptu performances where the guest artist would join Wakeman and his house band in playing re-arranged versions of their classic songs or entirely new pieces created for the show.

Wakeman is a contributor to the BBC Two show ''Grumpy Old Men''. He has also appeared in a number of episodes of ''Countdown''. He has also appeared on the satirical panel shows ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' (4 appearances) and ''Have I Got News For You''. Between September 2005 and December 2010, Wakeman presented ''Rick's Place'', a weekly radio show on Planet Rock with David 'Kid' Jensen. Wakeman appeared as himself in "Journey to the Centre of Rick Wakeman", the season two finale of ''Mitch Benn's Crimes Against Music'', a BBC Radio 4 comedy programme. The episode detailed a fictional war between England and Wales in 2009 which only Wakeman could stop. Wakeman provided piano for Benn's 2008 single "Sing Like an Angel", which was released on iTunes. In December 2006, Wakeman was the guest host for an episode of ''The Personality Test'' on Radio 4. He also appeared on ''Top Gear'' and set a race track lap time of 1'55.26. Wakeman made his debut appearance on ''Just a Minute'' on Radio 4 on 7 February 2011.

In October 2007, Wakeman commenced a new tour 'Rick Wakeman's Grumpy Old Picture Show', where he accompanies video performers such as Gordon Giltrap and the English Rock Ensemble (Ashley Holt, Lee Pomeroy, Dave Colquhoun and Tony Fernandez). A Freemason, he is a member of Chelsea Lodge No. 3098, the membership of which is made up of entertainers. In 2009, Wakeman became a Patron of Tech Music Schools.

In 2011, Wakeman, alongside Fiaba's drummer Bruno Rubino, has been recording and arranging the debut full-length studio album of the Italian singer Valentina Blanca.

Personal life

On 28 March 1970, Wakeman married his first wife Rosaline Woolford at twenty years of age and had two sons, Oliver (b. 26 February 1972) and Adam (b. 11 March 1974). The two divorced in 1977, and Wakeman married studio secretary Danielle Corminboeuf in January 1980 in the West Indies, with whom he had one son, Benjamin (b. 1978). He had a daughter, Jemma Kiera (b. 12 February 1983), with former Page 3 model Nina Carter and the two married in 1984 followed by the birth of their son, Oscar (b. May 1986). He has had a renewal of his Christian faith, which began around the time of their marriage.

Nina and Rick divorced in December 2004.

In his twenties, Wakeman suffered three heart attacks. The first occurred after a performance of ''Journey to the Centre of the Earth'' at the Crystal Palace Bowl on 27 July 1974.

A passionate football fan, Wakeman has supported Brentford F.C. since he was a child, and later on he also became a director of the West London club. After a disagreement with the board, he moved on to Manchester City F.C. but maintained his allegiance to Brentford. He was involved in the ownership of the American soccer club Philadelphia Fury in the late '70s, along with other rock celebrities such as Peter Frampton and Paul Simon.

He is a strong supporter of the UK's Conservative Party, and performed a concert in September 2004 for the benefit of the party.

Wakeman has been president of the show business charity The Heritage Foundation. The charity erects blue plaques on the homes and/or work-places of late entertainers and sportspeople. He is also Honorary President of the Classic Rock Society, a UK-based organisation helping to promote classic and progressive rock.
