The Method: Ryan Leslie

Method Atelier introduces ”The Method“, which will feature men with great style to be admired and to keep your eyes on. It’s just not what you are wearing but the umph you have to persevere.  Our first feature is Next Selection’s, Ryan Leslie.  

Ryan, a Harvard graduate, is best known for his producing and songwriting for well established artists like Beyonce, Brittany, New Edition, and a host of others along with his Next Selection/BadBoy artists (he was the force behind Cassie’s debut).  He has a roster of new-comers that will also be making a rise this coming year including artists: Mia Rose, Rhea, Latif and producers Misto & Pizzi.  For now, its Ryan’s turn at the wheel as an artist.  He has come from behind the boards like other producer turned artist, Ne-Yo, Kanye West and N.E.R.D (aka The Neptunes).  I think that he has the “go” and talent to have as much success as his predecessors.

Ryan’s first single is the much hyped and highly- rotated “Diamond Girl”, which everyone seems to love. It’s a hot song that has a different sound that Im sure was tailor made for himself.  Ryan, is multi-tasking as crooner, producer, hustler and visionary.  The brother can dress his tail off too.  Let’s wish the brother much success.
