Roc Nation leader Jay-Z has expanded his roster, which already consists of Rihanna and Willow Smith, by renowned producer Sean Garrett to the team of stars.

I'm so misunderstood when it comes to the music man," Garrett told VIBE less than 24 hours after announcing his signing to Roc Nation/Columbia. "I'm not afraid to say that I'm a true genius with my craft. This isn't something I do for the money...I think I'm the modern-day Lionel Richie. I just want my fans to really know who I am and get to know me from the inside and out. You'll be seeing a lot more of me on your TV--not just in music videos. Right now, it's time to open myself up to the world...Roc Nation understands that my movement is way bigger than just my deal. The only thing that I could have asked for is an opportunity, and that's what I was blessed with. Jay's building a new Dynasty and it feels like family to me. No matter how much success I've had, I'm still humbled by the opportunity to still be creative and just be myself." (VIBE)
The singer announced Wednesday (October 20) that she will now be managed by mentor and former Def Jam exec Jay-Z's Roc Nation company. The chart-ruling singer spilled the beans to The Associated Press, saying in a statement she's "so excited to take this next step in my career." The "Only Girl in the World" singer joins songstress Melanie Fiona, spitter Wale and DJ/producerMark Ronson as other faces handled by the management arm of Hov's multi-pronged firm. (MTV)
