Jazze Pha

Phalon Anton Alexander, known professionally as Jazze Pha (/ˌæzi ˈf/ JAZ-ee FAY), is an American record producer. He founded the record label Sho'nuff Records in 1995, through which he signed R&B singer Ciara in 2003. He produced her 2004 single "1, 2 Step," which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and served as executive producer for its parent album, Goodies (2004). Released in a joint venture with LaFace Records, the album was met with critical and commercial success, although Ciara parted ways with Sho'nuff shortly after.

During the remaining decade, Alexander's subsequent productions proved commercially successful. He is credited on the Billboard Hot 100-top ten singles "Get Up" also for Ciara and "So What" for Field Mob, the top 20 singles "Let's Get Down" for Bow Wow, "Let's Get Away" for T.I. and "Just Fine" for Mary J. Blige, as well as the top 40 singles "Area Codes" for Ludacris and "Do That..." for Birdman. Alexander is also known as a hype man for many of his productions, for which he may often perform as a credited recording artist or backing vocalist. Apart from Ciara, his Sho'nuff label has signed the musical acts Ayo & Teo and Cherish. As a recording artist himself, he signed with Elektra Records to release his debut album in 1990.

Jazze Pha was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, but mainly based in Atlanta, Georgia. His father is James Alexander, bassist for the Bar-Kays, an influential group on the Memphis soul scene in the 1960s. His mother is named Deniece Williams; however, as Jazze Pha pointed out on the Cam Newton Podcast, she is not the same Deniece Williams as the famous singer. Pha was named after the late Phalon Jones, another member of the Bar-Kays, who died in the December 10, 1967, plane crash that also killed three other Bar-Kays members and Otis Redding.[citation needed]

In 1990, Pha was signed to Elektra Records.

He is known for announcing "Ladies and gentlemen" or "This is a Jazze Phizzle product-shizzle!", both at the beginning and, occasionally, at the end of songs in which he produced.
