Scott Storch

Scott Spencer Storch (born December 16, 1973) is an American record producer and songwriter. Storch began his career as a keyboardist for Philadelphia-based hip hop band the Roots; his first album with the group was Organix (1993). He provided the keyboard riff and co-produced Dr. Dre's 1999 single "Still D.R.E.," also contributing in a similar role on the rapper's productions during late 1990s. Storch expanded his production work doing so independently into the 2000s; he produced five Billboard Hot 100-number one singles—Beyoncé's "Baby Boy," Terror Squad's "Lean Back", 50 Cent's "Candy Shop," Mario's "Let Me Love You" and Chris Brown's "Run It!"—among other similarly successful chart entries throughout the decade. Storch has been nominated for four Grammy Awards.
