Undisputed Hustlers

In his debut EP, A Conversation at the Witz Inn, Nolfris “Slim KuttaR” Williams incorporates a diverse mix including jazz, hip-hop, and classical in each of his songs. Slim KuttaR says his music “is about having fun and enjoying life no matter where you are on the journey.”

Born in Birmingham, Alabama and raised in New Orleans, Slim KuttaR developed an eclectic range of musical tastes from the hard driving vocal styling of the gospel quartet to the syncopated rhythms of the second line. He draws upon this influence in both his own music, and his very formidable work behind the scenes with other artists.

Aside from his passion for music, Slim KuttaR is a lover of history and basketball. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in History from Green Mountain College. He also played professional basketball in North America and Europe.

LeTrainiump Music

LeTrainiump Richard is a Black pop singer/songwriter from Mamou, Louisiana the zydeco capital of the world.

His music is influenced by zydeco’s high energy as well as a vibe of what makes him feel “alive”. Only three years

ago, he began pursuing a music career in earnest and has already amassed a list of collaborators including

members of the Grammy-nominated Tank and the Bangas, Grammy-winning engineer Reginald “ReggieNic”

Nicholas, as well as Pell, Alfred Banks and HaSizzle.

LeTrainiump “sings, composes, and produces pop music that blends the likes of Michael Jackson,

New Edition and SWV, flavored with a synthesized something that revamps the ’90s pop spirit that

he embodies.” -OffBeat Magazine

His new EP Purity includes the scintillating tracks “Control” and “Lost?” and the poignant “Belong”. As he

forges ahead with a newborn daughter and manager-creative director wife, LeTrainiump hopes Purity

serves as an entrypoint into a larger conversation about the breadth of contributions made by Black

musicians to the genre of pop, as well as the music industry’s history of relegating Black pop artists into

R&B or other boxes.

DMG CLEARANCES, INC

​

In early 2010, Deborah Evans and Deborah Mannis-Gardner met face-to-face after years of working together via email and telephone.

They connected instantly. Both Deborahs have a similar vision, work ethic, knowledge and experience, and together

they knew that a publishing and clearance partnership would not only serve their individual music companies well, but would also be a first rate resource for songwriters who needed solid, hands on, proactive administration, promotion, and clearances.

DMG and Della Music Publishing jointly administer the catalogues of Reggie Noble, Erick Sermon and numerous other writers. Additionally, Della Music often assists with music clearance projects which are the focus of DMG Clearances Inc.

Together they reach out almost daily to new songwriters, as well as, seasoned composers who are looking for a

smaller independent publisher whose primary focus is on the songwriter – not on the income that the songwriter brings in.

The songwriter is our #1 priority and every songwriter receives our full attention, no matter what the issue.

Please visit www.dmgclearances.com for more information and for DMG fees.

​

Deborah Evans began working in the music publishing business in 1998 for Beebe Bourne at Bourne Co. (“Me and My Shadow,” “Here’s That Rainy Day,” “Unforgettable,” “When You Wish Upon a Star.”) She later joined The Harry Fox Agency, working in both the synchronization and the mechanical licensing departments. In 2002, she moved to Helene Blue Musique Ltd. as Director of Copyright and Licensing. Deborah later became Director of Publishing for Stray Dog Music.

​

As of August 2007, she is an independent music publisher under the name Della Music Publishing LLC, representing artists and songwriters mainly in the hip-hop genre.

In 2009, Deborah Mannis-Gardner and DMG Clearances came into her life and since then, the fascinating and challenging world of clearing music for synchronization and syndication became incorporated into her workday.

​

Deborah holds a Master’s Degree in Harpsichord Performance from Montclair State University and also spent many years teaching piano, playing for dance classes, and performing. She resides in New Orleans with her husband Joe and daughter Gianna.
