03/28: Video: Diddy Signs Singer Jeremy Greene to Bad Boy Records
It appears that the Bad Boy/Interscope roster has grown by one, as Diddy has signed singer/songwriter/producer Jeremy Greene, according to the clip below.
At the beginning, Diddy announces that he's about to sign Greene to Bad Boy and praises the singer's multi-faceted talents before the duo sign the actual paper work. Diddy teases Greene a bit about being from Maine - he was born in Winslow, according to a
bio on Friendster.
Greene was featured on E!'s
"Living Lohan" TV show and his most noteworthy single to date is 2008's "Rain," which featured versions with Christina Milian, Bossman (
purchase) and Pitbull (
purchase). You can listen to more on
his MySpace and
download his free "Elevated" mixtape, which has been downloaded over 3,000,000 times to date. He can be followed on Twitter as
jeremygreene1.
His MySpace lists MySpace Records as his record label.
Digital Music News reported in January that that the label was being restructured and, according to a source, would shift to more of an A&R focus. MySpace Records was
created through a joint venture with - here's where it makes sense - Interscope. It's unclear if MySpace Records will still be involved in his project or if he will simply shift to Bad Boy.
Beyond Diddy, Dirty Money and Greene, Bad Boy/Interscope is expected to sign both Red Cafe and Cassie, if it hasn't happened already. Back in December,
Red Cafe said that both he and Cassie would be on the roster and this was
bolstered by the appearance of an Interscope logo on the promotional single for Cassie's "Let's Get Crazy."
