Full Biography (Back to top)

A talented producer who has brought out the best in artists including Mariah Carey, LL Cool J and Jennifer Lopez as well as the Bad Boy roster's own Lil' Kim, Mase and Notorious B.I.G., Sean 'Puffy' Combs did his best work behind the scenes but began landing acting roles in 2001 that could prove a talent before the camera that outweighed his somewhat questionable skills at the microphone. Born into a middle-class Harlem household, Combs lost his father to drug-related violence at the age of three. Relocating with his mother and sister to Mount Vernon at age twelve the youngster had a relatively privileged lifestyle thanks to his mother's long hours and numerous jobs.

In 1989, Combs was the youngest executive in the industry, named vice president of A&R for Uptown. Harrell's faith in the young man would pay off, as Combs' work in shaping the image and sound of artists including Jodeci and Mary J. Blige would move millions of units and
