Known by Badu as ‘JuneBugg’, he was born and raised in Dallas, Texas.
Geno Young had a musical family and began playing violin and piano and
an early age. He established his talents in the Arts Magnet High
School were he studied in the same class rooms as Roy Hargrove and
Norah Jones. Afterwards he attended Howard University in Washington,
D.C. Here he would perfect his song writing skills, production
techniques and form his love for Soul music. Having studied his craft
he found himself later touring the world as musical director, arranger
and producer for the multiple Grammy award winners, Erykah Badu. He
produced songs for the 2001 album ‘Mama’s Gun’, with ‘Times a Wastin’,
and my favourite ‘Orange Moon’. He also produced for N’Dambi
on ‘Tunin’ Up and co-signin’ and most recently Carmen Rodgers ‘Free’
album released on Expansion Records. This artist offers very much to
the industry and music lovers. Look out for ‘the Ghetto Symphony’,
released in 2004 on AB Records.
