Lamont Fleming

LaMont Fleming began his journey in music many years ago. His initial training was with his father, Walter Fleming. LaMont's father, Walter had his own band on the Chittlin Circuit playing behind major recording artist. After working with his father up to the tender age of 10, Mr. Fleming signed his son over to school teacher, Clarence Jenkins (CJ)/CJ Productions to further his career. With a production situation 10-year-old LaMont began his quest toward a professional career. After joining a trio group named LaMaRe, he began to write and produce original pieces for the group at the age of 12. LaMont possesses an incredible ear and the ability to remake old songs with remarkable vocal arrangements and harmonies. It wasn't long before CJ introduced the group to BET'S producer Sita Lewis,(President of Voicez Music Group and TV Producer), who signed the group up for BET'S Talent Showcase Teen Summit. Of all the top competitors including the female vocal group X-SCAPE, LaMont's group based on his vocal arrangements of "Hard To Say Goodbye" by far finished as the top act, bringing the studio audience to their feet. LaMont continued his art of singing, writing and producing all over the country as the group amazed crowds with their vocal ability and arrangements. The group was offered a 14 state tour but settled for a 7 state tour due to school and tour date conflicts. After many shows LaMont's trio group LaMaRe, was off to the big apple New York working with super producer, Troy Taylor. During his tenure CJ arranged for LaMont to work as an understudy to Troy Taylor for a period of 10 years working with such artist as Destiny's Child, Tyrese, Carl Thomas, Johnny Gill and many others. On the NFL Jam CD LaMont wrote, produced and sang background on the single "Get It Started", recorded by Johnnie Gill. After working with many other artists Clarence Jenkins “CJ” LaMont, Troy Taylor and Charles Farrar packaged and shopped the trio group LaMaRe, in which the name changed later to “One to Grow O”n. DreamWorks, Gerald Busby signed the group; LaMont and Troy wrote and produced seventy-five percent (75%) of the album. Sadly enough, Gerald Busby exited from DreamWorks putting the group in a permanent hold status. Devastated from the loss of a recording contract and the breakup of the group CJ and LaMont continued to move forward making it clear to everyone this was their shared dream and desire therefore they would pray, regroup and move forward (Throwing in the towel wasn't an option). Young LaMont Fleming partnered with musician, mentor and his long time friend CJ and started a joint production company (Hitmission), in which Timmy Allen joined years late. They began shopping LaMont's material and developing young talent. To Clarence Jenkins “CJ” and Lamont Fleming credit, they discovered Chris Brown. LaMont wrote and produced a 15-song demo in launching Chris Brown's career. CJ and Lamont worked tirelessly in building Chris into the Artist you see today. Vocal coaching, musical development, management and training, Life training all played a key in the development of Chris. CJ and LaMont has placed three songs including the first single "TONIGHT- 2 STEP" on ARISTA/Zomba Recording Artists Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore's New LP "UNCOVERED" IN STORES NOW! One song on Erika Rivera (Thats So Raven show), Atlantic Records and one song on Chris Brown LP Jive Records.Also, LaMont produced and wrote on ATLANTIC RECORDS artist Young STEFF's album along with songwriter/ producers B.COX, T.PAIN, and RICH HARRISON. CJ and LaMont currently landed a deal with Foxx King in which LaMont wrote and sang the theme song for Jammie Foxx reality show on MTV/VH1 JAMMIE FOXX's"From Gs to Gents". Currently CJ and LaMont have teamed up super producer Timmy Allen and Mi5 Recordings. The Hitmission Music story is constantly growing with continued success.
