Relocating to Los Angeles, Stalnecker signed a publishing deal with Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins/Sony ATV where he wrote and produced for El DeBarge, Lil Wayne, Dreezy, and Day26, among others.

Continuing to write and produce across genres with crossover appeal, Stalnecker’s additional credits include NKOTB, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Wale, Ludacris, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and more.
