Dr. Dre

By Genesis Ortiz Otero
 
A bit of history about music production. The history of music production technology is traced back to the late 19th century when inventors began experimenting with ways to capture and reproduce sound. Some say the birth of music recording began in France with Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, who invented the phonautograph in 1857.
 
Dr. Dre is a 58-year-old man who is a music producer that grew up in Compton California. He was born February 18, 1965. Dre began his career as a member of the World Class Wreckin' Cru in 1985. Now Dr. Dre focuses on producing other artists, occasionally contributing vocals. 
 
I chose this person to represent black history month because he is the founder and CEO of Beats Electronics, Aftermath Entertainment, and the former president and co-founder of Death Row Records. One of Dr. Dre's biggest contributions to the hip hop genre is the creation of West Coast G-Funk, with its slow, heavy beats and synthesizer baseline.  If you want to learn more about Dr Dre there is this reliable source, you could visit:
