There is a new female producer on the rise and her name is Jamille Luney. Our last post ranked the current mainstream producers. However, there were no females on the list!! With the exception of Missy who else is there? We've heard that Alicia Keys produces her own music, but we'd like to hear that from the mouths of the sound engineers that worked on her projects. If they say she produced it herself than she did. If not, hmmm....... Make no mistake, Jamille Luney produces every sound herself (with the help of Propellerhead's Reason).
Luney, 26, has worked with Alfred Gaines (aka AJ, new producer for Def Jam), Dexter Redding (son of legendary singer Otis Redding), and Alex Teamer (produced new gospel sensation"Izzy" Israel Bell). Jamille's first roommate after moving to Florida was Danielle Renee (former vocalist and engineer for Ron Kenoly).
Her production is powerful. She is classically trained in both violin and piano (age 4) and her sister is a cellist. Her music is extremely diverse. One track can sound like a club banger while the next screams Neo-Soul and Nu Jazz. Look for Jamille to start making headlines by the end of this year. The final kicker, SHE'S GORGEOUS!! We're not knocking Missy Elliot, but Jamille wins this category hands down. "Jamille" actually means beautiful in Arabic. You can hear samples of her work at http://myspace.com/jamilleluney .

I think Jamille is more like Timbaland personally. Missy is about to be in trouble, we've all been waiting for a hot female producer.
