First #1 at 18. 160M copies sold. "Say My Name" and "The Boy Is Mine."
Jerkins produced Brandy & Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" (#1 for 13 weeks), Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right but It's Okay" (Grammy winner), Beyonce's "Say My Name" (Grammy winner), Michael Jackson's "You Rock My World," and Lady Gaga's "Telephone." He was 18 years old when he produced his first #1 hit. By 25, he'd produced records that sold over 160 million copies worldwide. Darkchild's signature — the chopped vocal stutters and aggressive drum programming — defined late-90s/early-2000s R&B. He made his first million before he could legally drink.
