Background

At the age of 16, K.I.S.S.' Big Mike felt that Marí was ready for the big time, and he brought the R&B starlet in front of a who's who of label execs. Candy Tookes, a friend of Big Mike, introduced the pair to industry veteran Daryl Simmons in Atlanta, Georgia. Simmons then shared Marí's K.I.S.S. Productions-produced demo disc with Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, Chairman of The Island Def Jam Music Group. After hearing Teairra Marí perform live, Reid offered her a contract on the spot.^[5] According to Shakir Stewart, VP A&R at Def Jam, in an interview with HitQuarters, 'Teairra was a star when she walked into the room. She captured the room when she did her audition. We fell in love with her from day one.'^[5]
