Talk & Rhythm is the brainchild of music producers Tony Donelson and Lionel Cohen. After years of developing artists and producing albums, the most important lesson they've learned is that merit alone, is not enough to make an artist successful. Shamefully, no matter how good an album is, if it doesn't get into the right hands, it will fail.

Tony Donelson

Tony Donelson has been playing the guitar since he was 9. He began writing songs at 14, landing his first publishing gig with SBK/Blackwood music soon thereafter and writing songs for Jellybean Benitez and Phillip Bailey while hanging around and getting tips from soon to be rocker Lenny Kravitz. When he headed to Virginia for college he struck up a friendship and cut demos with Dave Matthews while attending the University of Virginia. Upon returning to New York he embarked on a career playing and producing for Cher, Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, George Clinton, Gerald Levert, Silk, and newcomer Susie Suh, as well as performing on numerous jingles and ads. He brings heat, passion, spark, knowledge and creativity to his numerous songwriting and producing gigs!

Lionel Cohen

Lionel's career spans two decades as a musician, composer, audio engineer and music producer. He's produced music for artists, films, animations, radio and television commercials. Being in the industry and having lived the past eight years in the heart of Manhattan, his professional relations vary from radio and television networks, to film directors, to some of the biggest names in Rock and Hip-Hop.
