A man’s intellectual capacity should not only be measured by the way he speaks, but by his ability to deliver powerful messages through songs from the sounds and beats in his heart. While some people may be opposed to the idea of using music as a form of expression, up and coming producers Kadis and Sean proves that music is a way of life and lead to many opportunities.

Natives of Boston, Massachusetts and childhood friends on a mission to change the face of the music industry, Kadis and Sean are embarking on their career focused and fearless. This dynamic duo’s ability to attract industry heavyweights, while maintaining their originality proves they are a force to reckon with. Working intensely in the studio to produce songs tailored to fit the needs of each individual artist, Kadis and Sean are making a statement about the importance of individuality and creativity. Their endless effort to provide artists with their own unique sound and public image has earned them respect and recognition. As Kadis and Sean continue to share their passions and perspectives about life through music, their devotion to their craft and commitment to change is capturing the hearts of people all over world.

Bu’Ji Magazine (BEM): Tell us more about Kadis and Sean? How did you guys become friends and when did you start working together?

Kadis and Sean (KS): We met each other playing basketball when we were 14 years old. We eventually re-met through a mutual friend during our freshman year in college. Sean attended Howard University and I attended the University of Hartford. Ever since that moment we have been working together.

BM: So, you guys are originally from Boston, so how and why did you find your way to Los Angeles?

KS: We started out in Boston and toward the end of college we decided to leave school to start our production deal with Next Election. Through that we were thrown in middle of the music industry as young up and coming producers. Since then we have worked our way and honed our skills and craft so that when we re-surfaced we were stronger, tighter, and better musicians. We had some success when we were in Boston but that kind of grew old. Therefore, we decided to branch out more and last year we were able to secure a publishing deal that allowed us to take our company and business to Los Angeles.

BM: Did you find the transition to be easy, or was making a name for yourself in California extremely difficult?

KS: Being that our sound is unique we always had a lot of people who loved what we did and rooted for us. However, since we were new and had a different sound [people] did not know if they wanted to take a chance on the new sound and with something that is kind of unproven. We had to make a name for ourselves.

BM: When did you get BIG break? What artists have you worked with and what songs have you produced?

KS: Our first single was called “Little Daddy,” by Yung City featuring Lil Wayne. We had a G-Unit single called “Chase the Cat,” featuring 50 cent. We [also] did a record for Donnell Jones featuring Bun B called “Is She One.” We eventually branched off to pop and did a record call “I Owe You One,” by Girlicious. We are currently working with Keke Palmer and Kevon Edmonds. Since we moved out to LA we feel this year is the “big break” that everyone holds claim to. It is just that our break is no so much the break in the lime light, it is the break in terms of the background of music.

BM: If you could work with any artists, who would it be and why?

KS: We had actually started working with Brandy and that has been one of the true testaments that we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. We [also] really enjoyed working with our group Audio Push. We got a chance to work with our own artist on a national level.

BM: Audio Push, one of the newest teen sensations were discovered by you. What stood out about this group?

KS: These are two blacks kids that are 18 and 19 years old from a very rough neighborhood in the Inland Empire, but there musicality and aspirations as music artist are not like the typical black kid from that type of environment.

BM: With my publication reaching high schools, it is my obligation to encourage students to achieve academically, personally, and professionally. What are your thoughts about education and how have Kadis and Sean given back to the community?

KS: When I was in college I would always go home and tutor at my elementary school. As a company, Roz Music is starting to do community service in the LA area at local shelter.

BM: What advice would you give to someone trying to pursue a career in the industry?

KS: It is very important to surround yourself by successful people if you want to be successful. You should also read books that challenge you and will help you become successful.
