It's a man who finds writing Rock, R&B, Cuban and Dance music child's play.
90 DESMOND CHILD
Born 28th October 1953 in Miami, Florida, USA. Although beginning his career as a performer it was as a producer and writer that he found his talents really lay, his track record shows he's willing to work in many different styles, but it's within the Adult Orientated Rock genre that he's excelled. He was instrumental in bringing Ricky Martin to a world wide audience by producing and writing most of his Livin La Vida Loca album, this Hispanic style of music would not of been foreign to Child as he was musically heavily influenced by his Cuban mother whilst a child.
