Dr B. on Audio Films and more...

Formerly known as Tha Madd Scientist, Dr. B began his deejay career as a turntablist. After much success in Montreal, Dr. B decided to pursue music full time and move to New York City. In the early 2003, Dr. B began to work with super producers Cool & Dre, Tony Touch, Boogie Blind (USA Turntablist Champion), Swizz Beatz and reggae sensation Elephant Man. Although he has found success in Hip Hop and RnB, his true love has always been the world of film , opera and EDM music. In 2017, DR. B became a best selling author (Amazon) with his debut of his graphic novel “Elysium: The Holy War”. It was during this creative process DR. B began experimenting with audio films. “When my fans listen to my music, I don’t want to give them just another song. They can get that from anyone. I want my fans to have a specific and unique experience with my stories. I want them to put on their headphones, close theirs eyes and feel like their at the movies.” This creative process lead to the production of DR. B’S first EP “The Asylum”. “This EP is really different because I had the privilege to work with voice actors, opera singers, concept artist and animators. My favourite part was working on the interludes and adding special effects so it really sounds like a movie.” The EP is also being released with a full colour art book titled “Coffee & Art”. There are 5 chapters and at the beginning of each chapter, there is a quick and easy new coffee recipe for the readers to make while they’re enjoying the book and music. The art book is designed to give the audience a much deeper experience as they listen to the album. “I used to be an Executive Chef and I love coffee. I thought it would be cool to give the audience a new beverage that everyone can have while they’re enjoying the art.” The EP is set for release late 2024. In the spring of 2021, Dr. B began working on his debut album, "DRAGON FIRE". Inspired by the TV show "Game Of Thrones", the visual album tells the story of the Dragon Queen & her quest to conquer all the Ten Kingdoms. Due to Russian/Ukraine war, the album has been delayed until 2025. The album will feature a variety of genres including Pop, Opera, Hip Hop, Classical and Cinematic music. While working on his debut EP, DR. B is also a full time University student studying Forensic Psychology. He has also been very busy in the world of EDM, releasing over 65 singles and has surpassed over 1 MILLION streams on Spotify! With fans from North America to Asia to Europe, the DR. B tour “THE ASYLUM” is going to start in early 2025. Watch the “DRAGON FIRE” TRAILER https://youtu.be/j8w6A6NHAfU "GET LOW" Music Video https://youtu.be/qDhmET_o6S8?si=33nH4G1pdeolhr3R

ANDREW PEARSON was born in Pakistan, grew in Singapore, and was educated at boarding schools in both England and America. With a degree in psychology from UCLA, Pearson has had a varied career in IT, marketing, mobile technology, social media, esports, and entertainment. While working in Hollywood, Pearson optioned and adapted the novels Open Water, The Sunday Macaroni Club, The Jukebox Queen of Malta, and Scavenger Reef, attaching such talented directors as Kevin Hooks, Fraser Heston, Mark Lester, Diane Ladd, and Jorge Ramirez-Suarez to his projects. Pearson's script for The Sunday Macaroni Club was a Quarter-Finalist in the 2004 Zoetrope Screenwriting Competition and The Flirting Game was selected as a Finalist in the Fourth Screenplay Search Competition. In 2017, Pearson published The Predictive Casino, a book about how analytics should be used in the casino industry. This was followed by other books in the Predictive series, The Predictive Sports Book, The Predictive Retailer, The Predictive Airliner, with others soon to follow. Pearson has also written a series of books detailing how AI can be used in various industries. The books include The A.I. Sports Book, The A.I. Hotelier, The A.I. Retailer, The A.I. Casino, The A.I. Cruise Line, and a general book on A.I. in advertising called The A.I. Marketer. Pearson is also a noted columnist, writing on topics such as analytics, mobile media, social media, and cloud technology for such publications as The Journal of Mobile and Social Media Marketing, The Journal of Applied Marketing Analytics, ComputerWorld HK, and The Mobile Marketer. Pearson is also a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Mobile and Social Media Marketing, as well as the president of the Advanced Analytics Association of Macau. In 2023, Pearson's debut novel was traditionally published by Brother Mockingbird Publishing. The book won honorable mention at the 2024 Los Angeles Book Festival. Pearson's adaptation of The Dead Chip Syndicate has garnered awards and laurels from 30+ film festivals. An avid traveler, Pearson is a sought-after speaker, lecturing on such disparate topics as AI + ML, casino and mobile marketing, data analytics, social media and interactivity. If he's not pounding the pavements of Hollywood, he's probably meandering through the labyrinthine streets of Hong Kong's Lang Kwai Fong, or tearing up useless betting slips at Happy Valley (perhaps the most perfectly named racecourse in the world (for some)), or dining at a hawker center in Singapore, or wandering through tall safari grasses in South Africa, or grabbing some lechon at a bustling outdoor food market in Manila, or doubling down at the gaming tables in Macau. Basically, Pearson's trying to find the next great story that the world doesn't yet know that it desperately wants to see... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dead-Chip-Syndicate-Andrew-Pearson/dp/B0CBD36FBD
