Their hard work is not going unnoticed in the industry, as their number of collaborations with heavy hitters (aforementioned JoJo & Bobby Valentino, as well as Frankie J and Boyz II (freakin') Men) countered with up and comers (Motown's girl group JADA, Interscope's Jordyn Taylor, Def Jam's Velvet Angels and several others) continues to grow by the day. Their most well known track is "Get It Poppin'", a track they wrote and produced for pop/r&b stunner JoJo for her sophomore release, that was featured as a bonus cut on the Wal-Mart edition of the album. I first heard about them a few years back when they were working on solo material with Jessica Castellanos, of Soluna fame (who I just can't say enough good things about), and was amazed by their track record. Their tracks aren't overexposed, but every song they produce comes out incredible. The Chicago-based Insomniax, made up of Emile Ghantous and Erik Nelson, are criminally under the radar, but maybe that's what makes them so special. However - if you get the chance to work with the Insomniax, you can rest easy that you will get a great song in return.


We all know that just because you have a huge name producer backing you up doesn't mean you'll get a hot track. In a world of Goliath producers like Timbaland and RedOne, the producer to cook up your songs can really make or break a new artist.
