Composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Bryan-Michael Cox won a GRAMMY for his work with Mary J. Blige and has made sure every pop "formula" has a substantive "conversation" in it for other iconic recording artists. Asked by Atlanta Chapter in 2014 as to what gives his own tunes their special style, Cox thought that like Babyface and Jimmy Jam, his personality comes through in his progressions. "That's probably where it starts is the actual chord progression, chord choices that I choose," said Cox. "Or that choose me, rather, because a lot of times, it just happens."
