Austin Power

Dallas Austin's got the talent, the money, and--finally--just about all the control he wants. After being discovered by Joyce Irby in the late '80s and then getting rediscovered (and majorly more wealthy) by Motown president Gerals Bugsby shortly thereafter, Austin skyrocketed to levels of fame and success that few people attain in a lifetime--before he even turned 20. Things have settled down significantly since then, but rather than fall prey to the typical has-been burn-out routine, Austin continues to turn out the tremendous production work that goes platinum and keeps the rest of the recording industry in his thrall.
